fine.. 6.9 then ????

He does have a beautiful position on the bike. A good time-trialer is a work of art.

If ever you wanted to know why CDA matters, these videos from GCN tell a story...

Wouldn't be surprised if Pog's power numbers where quite a bit lower than the other guys considering how aero he is and how much time he spends locked in the TT position. Not wearing the helmet of doom probably saves him at least 50w.

Okay, 23 months.

It was a comment from the commentators.

oh that makes sense. Have to keep those okes fact checked all the time. 2019 started on the 8th July so I guess that meant the first time in two editions not in two year, although he could have meant 2020 and 2021

Gave in and rejoined DSTV to watch the Tour.

Surprised to hear the Chipmunks being invited to commentate...????

I was hoping it would be an improvement on the EURO SPORT 1 commentating.

At least the Tour has been interesting!

Please excuse my ignorance/stupidity, why is the old man Valverde wearing rainbow bands on his arms since JA is current world champion?

All ex world champs are entitled to wear the rainbow bands as a trim on their sleeves or collar once their "reign" is over.

Former National, Continental and World Champs can display the bands on their sleeves at anytime when competing in the respective discipline. Current title holders are identified with a white jersey and bands accross the waist/test.
