The only thing South African about Froomie is where he went to school, and his accent to an extent. 

Not the fact that he is now shite 😶

Vingegaard is in a prime position to take this year's TdF. Pocagar is unfortunate to have to fight the whole JV squad on his own. Those who have been suspecting Pogi of doping I wonder what they are saying now...interesting 2022 TdF.

I rate Pog will test positive for COVID and not finish.

You heard it here first...........

The UAE team boss had to step away this morning after testing positive, this after Bennett, Laengen and Majka all tested positive in the last little while.

It would suck. I hope I'm wrong

Back to the topic at hand (TdF and Covid), I'm picking Sagan to be there or thereabouts today

Age 14 - 22 if I recall... Formative years.

After Froome turned the clock back yesterday, why not?!

It was good to see Sagan near the front for a while yesterday

Warren Barguil out with a positive Covid test.

Let's just hope we make it to Paris next week. It will just be Jumbo Visma's luck if Le Tour gets cancelled in the coming days. Don't think it will be canned but you never know.

We might as well then claim Jan Frodeno as well.

I think he may have spent more time in SA compared to Froome, so yeah, there's that.

Good. Rather a DNF than ending anything lower than 1st 😆

Bah Humbug

I really hope you are wrong for a variety of reasons, especially seeing that my wife and I are booked to go to see the spectacle of the finish on the Champs Elysees

Looking at the stage profile for today, I'm going to call it a Wout stage .... 🤪

There are 14 withdrawals so far, of which some weren't covid-related.
Let's not get carried away until larger numbers withdraw due to the bug.
