Jonas is going to find 3 in a row a different task, Pog must be licking his lips, although again, I know very little about how the behind the scenes dynamics work and I’m basing all this on pure emotion. The lad who came in seems very inexperienced. UAE must fancy it surely?

    LT42 Pogacar should win, Roglic isn’t gonna beat him - the only one really is Vinegaard, but he’s such an unknown after his crash. If he does start, I’d expect a strong finish from him as he gets his fitness back

    Those laps around Bologna were beautiful yesterday, the climb with the arches, epic.
    Remco and Carapaz keeping it interesting at the end too. Rooting for Cav today, would be nice of he could get it out of the way early doors.

    Bologna is wonderful, went there for my 40th.

    Cracking city.

    I shouted my head off, the way he moved through the group in the last 800m was amazing. I was sullen when he crashed last year, what a sporting moment to see it happen. I’m buzzing here.

    Eddie Merckx will be the only one miserable, the drug addled cheating cunt that he is.

      Strange that there wasn’t a single mention of Pederson on the run in by the commentary on Eurosport. That was a pretty bad crash.

        Along_the_Wire really? Are you sure it wasn’t ITV? I watched right to the end to confirm if it was Pederson or no. Someone from Cofidis literally bunny hopped him 😬

          Only caught the last 20 mins But was superb win by Cavendish. I couldn’t see him until the last 500 mtrs. Didn’t think he would do well especially after the first day. Hopefully he’ll win a few more stages

          Time Trial tomorrow? Might be Jonas’ best chance this year because it looks like Pogacar has his number in the mountains imho

            LT42 sprint stage today - Vinegaard is expected to get better at the tour goes on. Makes sense, don’t want this running away with one dominant rider.
