With Yates out, and Kroswick nowhere, I don't know who to support. Tommy is too main stream. Nibali too cheaty (came back strong after a rest day again... ahem) Nairo, well I made my bed there, Zakarin hasn't had good luck and probably won't have, don't like Geeeee's glasses, Mollema... meh, Pozzovivo has brown pants....

 

Suppose that leaves me shouting for Bobby and Pino (my favorite red)

Good post. Stating clearly the very good reasons we like or dislike riders. There is no rational reason some sportsmen and sportswomen appeal to us.

Hope Cannondale get their dude in the break.

Over due a result. 2 years and a few days is a long time.

 

But thanks to the police moto at least they have a white jersey on board.

Exactly, and as I have stated before. Its when you start trying to rationally defend an irrational dislike, that fights start. So rather just say, I don't like somebody, simply because I don't.

You as in me? Never.

Jungels have reclaimed the white jersey after the TT

Hopefully Formolo will grab it again after some mountainous terrain ????

There you go. I missed something by not watching the biggest waste of a grand tour day, the ITT.

In a article i read they interviewed Ivan Basso, he recons in the next 3 years Davide will be a GT GC contender.

Without the 10 page lecture, why?

Grand tours have many disciplines and races within a race, and for a GC contender you have to be vastly talented in order to be rewarded as the best.

Would love to see a team try a long range move today.. the route is begging for it.

Yeah the young rider competition is always a fun one to follow.

I agree because they can be boring to watch BUT it is an indicator of who is the best cyclist.... therefore it's worthwhile watching at least the last few riders and the results.

 

Foil hat on and strap tightened
