The strength of that DQS team is unbelievable but that was like watching peak HTC for a sprint finish there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Although, having said all that tomorrow is another huge challenge just to survive for the sprinters in particular with the double ascent of Ventoux. Expect Pogacar to rip the race apart tomorrow just cos he can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect Pogacar to rip the race apart tomorrow just cos he can. At least he's got a team that will do their best to drag him over these next couple of stages so hopefully he can make it. Pogacar will rag doll the rest of the GC again. Nobody looks like they can get near him now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 More excited about tomorrow's stage than I am about the England game. Champions love a win on Ventoux, and I can see Pogacar going for the win here. I love a Maillot Jaune winning a mountain stage. I didn't watch last year, so I'm not sure what kind of descender he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Fassa Bortolo kit remains the best cycling kit of the last 30 years. I cycled through France and Switzerland wearing it. Proper full kit w****r too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for a pic of his podium with the Armani suit, & Stetson, then came across his appearance on Italy's Dancing With the Stars!

kiddy Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I love how Cipollini fucked off the Tour organisers, by climbing off before getting to the mountains, then heading for the beach, when he dragged his arse round the Giro for the Ciclamino jersey 3x, To put Cav's record attempt into perspective. Cipo's second (57) in total GT victories to Merckx (64) , with Cav a further 6 back on (51), 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned my recent crash on the cycling thread but the casualty in that is my 2013 Garmin-Sharp kit with the Argyle pattern on. Absolutely loved that kit but has sadly come off second best in a fight with tarmac. Does this give me an excuse to go on a shopping spree to replace it all? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Brutal stage for the sprinters today. It will be tough for them to beat the time limit. Fingers crossed for Cav! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
