Proper scones!

Hursty

What a finish!! Can’t believe it. Pogacar is an absolute machine!

what a race by Pogacar. I take it Roglic wouldn’t be allowed go for it on the last stage today & claw back the time he lost yesterday.

Hursty

Dubman Unfortunately not, etiquette dictates there is no racing in the GC on the last day.

The only way he doesn’t win is if he doesn’t finish the stage due to an accident or something like that, which is highly unlikely.

Gutted for Roglic. The state of them at the end.

Hursty

Along_the_Wire Yeah, not the time to have an off day, but that’s Grand Tour racing.

He’s definitely got it in him and the team to succeed, it’s going to an exciting 2021 TdF that’s for sure.

The old boys on the tour must be shitting themselves though, Evenepoel, Pogacar and Bernal are all the real deal.

He looked shot to bits didn’t he.

Along_the_Wire

Bernal maybe less so

Hursty

Along_the_Wire Do you reckon he’s another Quintana? Loads of promise but it just doesn’t work out for some reason.

Along_the_Wire

Time trialling is fucking rock hard - I’m a dribbling mess at the end of mine.

Along_the_Wire

Along_the_Wire LOL at Alaphillipe - what a stupid cunt.

Has anyone been following the Giro - it’s been absolutely fantastic - the top two are on the exact same time after 85 hours of racing and it finishes in today’s TT. Ineos’s third ranked rider is the favourite - British lad called Tao Geoghegan Hart is the favourite. The last two mountain stages have been the two best races I’ve seen in years.

Amazing ride by TGH. Not even he would have thought he’d be winning it three weeks ago.

Along_the_Wire

He was third or fourth ranked in Ineos. They weren’t even riding for the GC when Thomas went down - Thursday and Saturday were two of the best races I’ve ever seen. Dennis deserves a medal too. I put £100 on Tao Geoghegan Hart at 2/1 on Thursday night an all - happy days.

Hursty

Didn’t see any of it unfortunately, was it on Eurosport?

Fantastic result and fair play to Brailsford once again delivering another GT success.

I really do think Tao and Pidcock are going to take some beating in the future, absolute machines.

Hursty

Hugh Carthy to add to that list of ones to watch now as well!

The impending new era with Pogacar, Bernal, and a plethora of young brits is quite exciting.

Along_the_Wire

Some TT today - Roglic obviously saved some energy for that climb at the end - smashed the fuck out of it.

Hursty

Along_the_Wire Didn’t watch it but I assume he wasn’t letting this TT get away from him like the TdF!

What do you do to relax?
I find it hard to relax; I always need to be doing something. I’ve hardly watched any TV or films during this time. I’ve spent more time on my bike than ever before.

Along_the_Wire

benson I wonder what he rides?!

I’ve just sold my Colnago for a Factor Ostro - a cheeky wee 50th present to myself in this most miserable of years.

Hursty

Along_the_Wire That looks incredibly nice! Do you use a bike fitter?

Selliny both my roadies at the minute and going for a 4 season all rounder made by Sonder. Don’t think I’ll race again and just want a solid bike I take out on any day of the year.
