So, you just stopped watching the TdF? There have been some pretty epic battles since then. Contador-Lance; Wiggo - Froome; as well as some epic rides, Lance on the Ventoux, Lance on Hautacam, Contador vs Andy (chaingate) Froome running uphill. Geez.

That's false logic. Eddy would win. The Tour. Not just a stage and yellow jersey for a few days. Win, Everything.

They were fine until they stopped riding Giants.

Surely Aru wasn't the UAE's GC guy anyway? He's there to help Pogacar, isn't he? Also, I think Higuita > Martinez anyway.

Looking at the corona increase in France, I am starting to have real doubts this tour will get to stage 17 and 20...

I like that. I never know how many l's and p's are in his name.

Unless Alaphillippe hangs on to yellow for a week, the tour is called off due to corona, and he wins...

Was it discussed here already, what the hell was up with Jumbo's tactics yesterday? Did they borrow a page from the Movistar racebook? Roar along at the front for km after km, and then simply disappear right before Alaphillipe attacks? What was the point of all that?

Cajees and Decathlon. I like this guy

Everyone needs to listen to this: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9yc3MuYWNhc3QuY29tL3JlYWxzY2llbmNlb2ZzcG9ydA/episode/MWM3MDBlODctZWVjNS00N2NjLTgwYjYtZjlhOWUxYzk4ZDFi?hl=en-ZA&ved=2ahUKEwjPwu-5973rAhVyVBUIHYVcBa8QieUEegQIChAE&ep=6 And read this: https://sportsscientists.com/2013/01/dangerous-exercise-the-hype-of-dehydration-heat-stroke/ People drink too much during exercise.

You know it. I found a new spot for that yesterday. It was indeed delicious. Some cafe in Beyers Park.

Only if they turn themselves inside out?

Of course, Bardet said:

Nothing on a bicycle should ever require loctite.

I also use it on seat pins and stems and handlebars.

Thibaut if he can keep from whacking his leg against his bars this time? What a newb fault to exit on last year.

Bernal or Quintana for me thanks.

Any idea on the impact on team's budgets for all this internal testing?

I've missed messages in classifieds due to something like this as well.

I guess you greet all cyclists when you're out riding? I don't. In the same way I wouldn't greet people I don't know walking past me in the shops. I don't believe in some artificial bond created simply because two people happen to be riding bicycles. I mean sometimes I'll greet a cyclist on the road. Mostly to shout hook-it at them as loud as I can. I'll usually slow down and ask someone on the side of the road fixing a puncture or whatever if they're ok, but that's it. I'm even less likely to pretend some bond with a pretty random stranger in the classifieds of some internet forum.

If I'm gonna ride over 150km then I'll stop for a coke. Everything under that is single bottle territory.

There's something funny with the max power as well as the speed. The max and average speeds on the Quarq are very different to the Garmin, as is the max power.

Years ago I had a mate come down in a race with one of those Nokia curved matrix phones in his back pocket. I reckon his kidneys are still bruised from that. I remember he had physio for back spams caused by it denting him.

I bookmarked that. There will be a confluence of events one day. Hell will freeze over, I will join facebook and I will buy one of those.

So, the guy didn't post the footage afterall? Whilst we're on it, someone post a .kmz of this pesky route. Please.
