Had a Whyte T-129 which was awesome but sold it to get my Trek. Bird is another good UK bike company.

Along_the_Wire Lol, it just a normal bike , not gender specific!
The CEO of Team Ineos used to work for Team Sky, which obviously makes sense but check out some of her previous positions in Team Sky, my particular favourite being Head of Winning Behaviour!
I think there Ed will be on the phone to his boss first thing tomorrow requesting a new job title!

If ever there was a time / sign for a business / company to take a long hard look at itself, it’s at the moment that they create a position of Head of Winning Behaviour. Wow. The levels of hubris are off the charts.

Has anyone else seen the Fabio Jakobsen crash yet? Such an abrupt and devastating crash no wonder he’s in an induced coma.
Groinwegen or however you spell his name definitely forced him into the barrier, clear as day.
Definitely.
That is bang out of order.
He’ll get a lengthy ban for that. A little drift to defend a position is usually just part of the game, but he went halfway across the road and stuck his elbow out. Doubt it was intentional, but at the speeds they’ll have been doing down the hill, it’s terrifying - 70kmh?
…do they really need a downhill section for a sprint finish? They go fast enough anyway, seems unnecessarily dangerous to me
Sprint stages are boring as fuck - why would you race for 5 hours just for the sprint at the end? Don’t get it. Climbers just use those stages as rest days.
Terrible riding caused that

Jumbo Visma look incredible in the Critérium du Dauphiné. Ineos looked to have buried everyone with their pace on the front yesterday, but they seemed to only fuck their own own team (Froome is finished) - Roglic broke them all and just eased away.
They’ll win the TdF and I’d love it if Roglic or Dumoulin won it.
