As predicted by most here the rest day is all about Pog despite nit being in yellow.

Olney also surely has to worry about a very similar but more accomplished hilly classics rider who is currently in yellow/white.

I know. It was a joke.

Are you sure 🤣

Pog will still get all that attention anyway. He is still the virtual leader and the biggest star.

You could argue that Vingo has the advantage absolutely nowhere. Pog is just better in every sense when but are full fit.

The tricolour will fly high on Bastille Day. Just not the one people were expecting. Vive La Republic.

They saved what would have been a terribly boring day.

Best rider thread title in a long time.

Rugby went from a totally nothing amateur sport to something bigger and better. They have increased viewers for the few big tournaments like the 6 Nations and RWC but it is almost totally confined to the same Nations it always was. This growth is also about to bankrupt practically every nation...

It was shrinking to the point that "it will end up like CX and no one will care" Now it's just not growing "as fast" That's called moving goalposts.

Cricket and rugby have not grown more outside of their heartlands than cycling has in that time. Rugby it should be noted was starting from a very low Base and was amateur until the 90's I don't know a lot about MLB and NHL but I see nothing to suggest they have grown in any way more than...

Compared to which other sports ? Tennis is about to exit its golden era and is based around a single event like cycling, athletics only happens once every four years and rugby is bankrupting itself trying to become a rival to soccer instead of admitting it is small. I will take a niche sport...

Does anyone know if a spectator map gets released for stages and do all finish towns have a fanzone ? If anyone has been to a Chateauroux stage before that would be a big help.

Good because I just managed to squeeze stage 9 into my trip to Paris. Will be my first TdF stage actually in France but I am under no illusions as to how boring sprint stages are live. So a bit of wind to spice it up would be nice.
