  1. Thinking of watching at the steep bit at the bottom of the Crow.  Then I can get back in time for Alloa v Stirling and watch the rest of the race in the evening with a couple of beers.

    Assume there will be no spoilers at the football. 🤫

  2. Great stage today.  Valliant attempt by Pinot but the GC boys showed their class and delighted for Pog to get the stage, albeit that's very much 2nd prize.   Great showing by the Yates's as well.

    I remember an interview with self-confessed doper David Millar that after he stopped doping he was still able to perform brilliantly on some days, just not day after day after day.  For that reason I believe Pog is genuine.  He is brilliant, a lot of the time, but has bad days too.  Can't say the same for everyone...

    Prescient post below, although it didn't happen the way I expected.

    No, I think Vingegaard will win by 5+ minutes.

  3. Vingegaard is suspicious for sure.  Regardless of what 'assistance' he may or may not have had, it's disappointing for the race as a whole because barring something very odd he's already won it.

    Just take into account Pog’s time gap over Wout, was with a bike change included!No Way Disbelief GIF

    But the point of the bike change was to go faster up the hill to more than offset the time taken to make the change.  Whether that worked is debatable.

    Especially off the back of y/day. He was bang in form & doesn’t now get the chance for a Paris farewell.

    Seemed completely innocuous.

    Think his thousand yard stare, whilst in the back of the ambulance, says it all.

    Yeah, after yesterday I thought he had a really good chance of winning a stage. 

    Bike racing is a cruel sport sometimes.
