Frosty Posted July 17, 2023 Share 33 minutes ago, lechatnoir said: after watching yesterday, I'm so grateful to be able to witness the competition. They are so evenly matched, I don't care who wins. My sentiment too. I like the way Pogačar races (all his races, not just the Tour), and the fact that Jonas is strong enough to beat him. A two horse race is better (IMO) than one person dominating with a 5 minute lead, and watching everyone else fighting for the scraps. In the words of Forrest Gump… “Life (this Tour) is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get”.

J Wakefield Posted July 17, 2023 Share Remco to Ineos and if ineos don’t have a Tour winner in the next season, max 2 Radcliffe will find another hobby and walk.

Frosty Posted July 17, 2023 Share There’s lots of talk about riders wanting to leave Pat’s team. Mostly sprinters, which I thought might be because of a change to support Remco at the grand tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
