No manufacturer is putting GW1516 into their shakes.

They tried to hide it. It was exposed and **** hit the fan to where it went.

Its another level

as you mentioned there many factors at play here but overall they sitting zone 1/2 if they just riding. but within that stage for example if you on the front pulling you Z3 typcially sitting deep in the bunch as a protected GC rider, Z1/2. A queen stage is another story.

From someone who as close to being paralysed for life and even possible death with a 3cm leg length desrepancy he takes away so much from this TDF. Thomas GT winner Valverde GT winner Aru GT winner Quintana GT winner Bardet podium GT Porte podium GT Landa podium GT Uran podium GT I wish this was the type of hope I would be able to deliver.

Yes, like Rugby and never mind Aussie rules are clean.

That's a lot of masking agents then.

Winner of every stage plus GC leader and + 1 random are tested post stage. Not uncommon for "leaders" to be tested pre stage so late into a Grand Tour Nothing sceptical or unbeknown to this despite what the clueless social media scientists and "people in the know" think they know.

If you not carrying form you better earlier on not later in a grant tour and definitely not the Tour de France

Tadej was 10s quicker with the bike change it was the right call. Jumbo had already committed in December for no bike change.

Very very strong

Stop it. Please.

Zdenek Bakala owns the team since 2010 or 2011, Lafevre is CEO and is the go between between the team and the Board he is apart of. He can sell his small share holding but he cannot sell the team overall unless Bakala wants out.

Yes there should be bike changes tomorrow.

HIs climbing is good enough to be a threat.

No def not smoke them

Remco to Ineos and if ineos don’t have a Tour winner in the next season, max 2 Radcliffe will find another hobby and walk. Landa I feel will land up at UAE in 2024 onwards

More when he decided to go to the Tour

Unfortunately for Cav yes.

After all the speculation, self analysis and favourite rider favouritism when it came down the GC battle for the day and stage it goes to Jonas. He gained 1sec on Tadej. That if they were equal on time would be the win. Today is another day and with the steeper ramps and especially at the finish, should suite Tadej providing he goes in feeling good / less fatigued. Today Tuesday Wednesday Are the key stages for this Tour ahead for the GC battle between Tadej and Jonas and then for the battle for 3rd and final place on the podium. If these are a stalemate then Saturday can provide an all or nothing for these riders.

Then we both wrong. Cause no one has any actual clue or proof what would have could have or should have happened. The 1 part that is correct is that Jonas reeled Tadej back in after his brutal attack and Tadej could not sustain that effort. If he could have he would have kept the gap, go the bonus seconds and opened up again on the downhill and take more bonus seconds on the finish over Jonas. But he never / They never and Rodriguez won in classic style.

Motorbike issue would change anything on the day. Jonas was directly onto Tadej wheel in that instance and he was the strongest on the day overall on the climb.

I am lucky enough to work with/coach her, She is an amazing person with an incredible drive to succeed. To understand where she was post crash to now is almost hard to believe he has come back to this level.

He is going.

I remember hearing or whatever that the average weight for 2023 at the Tour is 7.08kg per bike.
