This has crept up on me big style, not really followed anything this year but a GT will get me back into the swing of things.

I take it Pogacar is still the man to beat?

The big guns are staying at home and saving themselves for the tour. Simon Yates, Almeida and Bernal are amongst the favourites. Shame, but it’ll still be great

Hursty

Along_the_Wire Bernal not considered a big gun now even though he’s a Tour winner?

Along_the_Wire

Hursty He’s well off the pace this year and wasn’t really anywhere last year - dunno what’s happened to the lad.

Along_the_Wire

The Tour will be an absolute belter this year.

Along_the_Wire

Be some race today in the penultimate stage of the Giro.

I hate Ineos, but hate Yates more, so I’m all-in for Bernal. He’s looked a little shakey the last few stages mind.

I was surprised yesterday. I thought after he blew up on Thursday he was going to struggle, but I thought he looked comfortable yesterday thanks to the work Moscon and in particular, Martinez put in. Martinez has got some legs on him.

I can’t see anything major happening today. Ineos will shut it down quickly if anyone tries anything.

I’m not a big Yates fan either. He’s got the interpersonal skills of a fish.

Along_the_Wire

Kumquat Some proper cycle chat, Simon! Martinez and Ganna have been massive for Ineos, haven’t they?

Kumquat

Along_the_Wire Did you see Martinez’ Strava data he uploaded for the penultimate stage? I can’t remember the exact figures but considering he got dropped and had to get back on the leading group and then went on to lead Bernal up that mountain for 6+k they were strtospheric.

If you’re gonna have to self-isolate over a weekend, it’s good to have the Tour and the Euros on - double-screen central for me.

Along_the_Wire too hot to do anything outside today, air-con on full blast and the Tour. I’ve a load of new smoked cheese, stuffed peppers and various other savoury goodies to keep me company. Bliss.

Christ I’d take Covid over that

Dubman

Stupid bitch.

Old-Dutch

It’s just not for me, Dubbers. Don’t get all offended

Lol.. did you see that stupid women that caused that huge crash.

Along_the_Wire

Fuck me, that was a bad crash.

Along_the_Wire

The second crash was way worse. Half the peloton. Fair fucks to Alaphillipe - don’t like him, but that was some finish

Hursty

Wow, back with a bang the tour!

Stupid fucking woman with her billboard caused the first crash, 2nd was brutal as well.

I like Julian, a proper bike racer and entertaining to watch, he couldn’t be more French if he tried as well lol

GC looking like it will be a good tussle, Primoz and Tadej looking good again. We will see!

LT42

That wanker with the sign should be arrested, fined and then sectioned. Infuriating. You can’t just stand and watch, you had to bring your fucking sign.
