Frosty Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Sooo TT day... Will Roggie go yellow?Will Mr "improve with age forever" do the improbable?How many places will Maincheese lose?How will Quintana know where to go if he doesn't have a wheel to suck? I'm rooting for Tahday Pohgatzchar today!Pretty sure Roglic will be in RED at the end of today... The rest I am not too sure about. Pogacar should be impressive methinks, but can he jump some people? Pretty big gap to those in front of him, you never know...Whoops! Red it is!It used to be gold so you can claim that and humble brag that you used to watch it when it was the first GT of the year. In 1999 when Ulrich won the Vuelta, Paul Liggett (that’s done on purpose) describes how Abraham Olano (defending champ) had worn the yellow jersey for 11 days (was actually 7, as he held it from stage 5 until stage 11). Liggett went on to say that Ulrich claimed the gold jersey (also the first year of the “gold” jersey). So you (Eldron) aren’t the only one who says yellow [emoji16] Another interesting fact: Robbie Hunter won stage 1, his first pro win. The prologue was on day 1, so Hunter won on day 2. He ended up the winner of the Intermediate Sprint competition (a red jersey). Source: The Cycling Podcast, episode 137 (Ulrich, Kilometer 0)I then went to Wikipedia and ProcyclingStays to verify some facts.
