Irishj9 Posted August 31, 2020 Share What would DQS do?. Well that's easy. DQS area Belgian outfit. The first thing a Belgian thinks when assessing tactics is "What would Eddy do? The answer is always the same. Eddy would attack. But Wiggins, Froome, Thomas, Bernal would not attack. They would sprint the final climb only. Another boooooooooring victory. Does anyone care?

Non of their riders finish their contracts, Tommy D, Bling, that french climber dude...Marc Herschi too .. From Sunweb to MS. Just as well Adam Yikes is splitting coz he can't seem to get his name right, or was he just peeved at being beaten by a whippersnapper at the finish yesterday?

Same with the Boks, its not exciting running rugby, its smart rugby and they have another world cup trophy. dsw, DieselnDust, L46 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Posted August 31, 2020 Share So some info Because there is buggerall going on atm Out of the 133 stages he's participated in since his @LeTour debut, today is only the 5th day @petosagan isn't wearing a distinctive jersey. It might make him harder to spot... But you can track him at any time on the race center [emoji3591] https://t.co/3qdSd9Bdmv #TDF2020 | @GlobalNTT https://t.co/W1vWhe8RMb Edited August 31, 2020 by Gen Mntboy, Vetplant and DieselnDust 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The books?????? We are cyclists not accountants! ( well, ok I am an accountant - full disclosure) Let the sodding Ineos outfit P*ss off and read books This is the TDF. not a local junior crit whose result gets posted in the local free rag outside SPAR. They are not racing for the books. They are racing for me and you, the fans. Let them go out and F**********king earn strava segments if thats all they want Edited August 31, 2020 by Irishj9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure this is what happened in the 90's/00's, when doping was a little out of hand. If you want heroic attacks and massive efforts, watch the classics. These guys need to race for 3 weeks at the Tour. If you have ever done a stage race, you know on day 7 after racing over and over each day that seconds earned in the first few stages cost you minutes on the last day. Its not humanly possible to "go racing" every day without ridiculous doping. Vetplant, Irishj9 and dsw 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
