Darryl Impey in the GCN Eurosport commentary team.

great insights

His insights are mostdef somewhat sharper than those of the usual suspects and more directly relevant.  With maybe half a dozen immediately accessible live coverage choices, he’s made it my go-to channel.

How Pogacar is still interested in riding ten min down. I have so much respect 

His highly attractive  older girlfriend told him no nookie till the end of the season unless he makes it to Paris

He's a prize fighter, has a champion mindset, and is as tough as titanium nails. Winning RvV and podiuming at le Tour, while breaking a precariously located wristband or two, remarkable.

Team UAE showing real depth. Of course the 'Killer Bees' too. 

Can Jumbo' be the first team to conquer all 3 Grand Tours in one calendar year? Ons gaan sien.

2 out of 3 already.... These two are enough?

I reckon it's cool. They win bike races, not just drone control. Classics, Monuments, Stages.... They throw in their lot and win.

I dig the way they race.

Fitting after a fair few years of not quite getting over the line and just before their sponsor deal with Jumbo runs it's course

Win #11, puts him in the top 22.

4 more stage wins and he’s in the top 10 list of winners 

Sooo... Week 2 of TDF2024?

Special mention to Egan Bernal, previous winner, who completed the Tour de France after a horrendous crash into the back of a bus while flying downhill on a TT bike.

 The maillot jaune pencilled in for the Vuelta which raises the profile of that event in 5 weeks’ time. Remember that he was a domestique for Roglič in this race before sharing GC leadership with him. Now he’s a two time winner.

Chris Froome appeared on Lance Armstrong’s ‘The Move’ podcast yesterday, expressing his desire to race until his current contract expires in 2 years’ time.

What are the odds of the break winning today? Or is the importance too high for the sprinters' teams?
