JScottP Posted July 24, 2021 Share In terms of the constant need for hydration, I think the break are in a much better position. They are able to grab bottles without too much effort, whereas, the peloton, guys are constantly going back for drinks and with no radios, they are certainly working harder to get back in the wheels.

So safety vs safety! The Belgians look like they mean serious business Have the commentators missed that Gee has a massive hole in his shirt and a bit of road rash on his right shoulder?

Patchelicious Posted July 24, 2021 Share 42 minutes ago, 'Dale said: After his pain of crashing out of the Tour de France, Nic’s show of character and strength here is very inspiring. Come now, while it’s fun to play up fairy tale stories, he didn’t crash out, he got dropped. He got lots of coverage and support after he did. Waaaaaaaaay more than other riders who missed time cuts, so I doubt it was a case of having to pull himself up from a bad place mentally. He was one of the public’s heros of the Tour. Edited July 24, 2021 by Patchelicious Escapee.. and justinafrika 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
