Tomorrow's a challenging day - three Teams meeting between 13:00 and 16:30. Will connect to the Teams meeting on my phone, with headphones on. The cycling will be playing through my laptop onto a second screen (on mute though). 

 

The joys of being able to work from home.

What happened to Maincheese? Is he sick? Did he crash? He is already two weeks behind.

Was gearing up for a sprint finish with Sagan. Just pipped him to the post

Rewatched that finish and WVA is a machine but Darryl got himself a bit boxed in and came from a long way back

I won’t call WVA lucky.....

Jumbo Visma had control of that finish from a long way out, WvA was very well positioned to pounce, part of the craft one could argue.

 

Impey had to do allot of work and 2nd place is a very worthy result, but unfortunately the headlines only mention the winner.

 

Green for today should still feel nice, maybe he can go points hunting and earn it outright.

Great stage yesterday! Sad about Meintjes. I was hopeful seeing his performance on the virtual climbs earlier this year. 

 

This shows that following Jumbo Visma up a real climb hurts more than the Alpe du Zwift.

 

Today will be interesting.

I think lets not get too far ahead of ourselves re climbing legs.

 

Today ends with a big HC climb then it's 3 days in the mountains. Day 1 was just a warm up.

 

Maybe Louis dropped off the pace so he can get himself in some breakaways later in the race?

 

I'm excited for later and really excited for the last 3 days. Ineos clearly have 1 leader and 2 old crocks who probably shouldn't be there.........

 

Roglic and Kruijswijk might be an interesting pairing for the last 2 days. Astana also still need to play some cards. Miguel Angel Lopez loves an attack off the front.

 

Hopefully 4 BIG days of racing and a whole lot of upset apple carts to come!

Excited is an understatement!

 

Truly a glimpse of what is to come at the TDF.

no ifs as Rafa said, only what happened

 

The boys in yellow looked like winners all day

2 weeks away..... Can WvA hold his form or has he peaked 3 weeks too early?

 

I still think that the Tour is a complete lottery. There just hasn't been enough racing for any of the GC guys to ride themselves into race form.

 

So this week will be really interesting for the Super Dom selection. I think if there was ever a year to go in with 2 leaders it is now, as you just can't be sure if the horse you back is going to go POP
