Peter Sagan just doesn't have the kick anymore. We saw glimpses of it in 2019. In 2018, he won 3 stages. 2017, Disqualified. 2016, 3 stages. This year, he's been soft pedaling with about 30 meters to go (or so.) He seems to give up for the last few pedal strokes because he knows he can't win...

It's really easy to armchair quarterback, but I'm going to anyways ;) Last year at the Tour, Egan Bernal was all the rage, but it never sat 100% with me, because of Stage 19 (the one with the landslide). Bernal did well on Stage 20, the uphill TT, but everyone knew he would because he is a...

Tadej Pogačar is becoming one of my favorite riders. Dare I say, the last few days I have been rooting for him to overtake Roglic!!!???!!! I have always had the belief that a Tour winner should be required to win a stage. So you would still have the GC, but even if you were #1 on total time...

Pretty good take on things. My two cents is that Miguel Angel Lopez is a great climber, but he isn't a TTer. A hill at the end of the ITT isn't going to make a difference. And, what's with so many people drooling over Quintana? Sadly, he seems to be past his prime (since last year?) Lots of...

Eye roll. He didn't say that. I think you know exactly what he meant.

I agree. I like it when riders take risks. Pogacar "deserves" to win since he keeps putting himself out there. I'm an old guy who grew up watching Lemond and Armstrong. And no matter what you think of Lance, he did not just sit second or 3rd wheel in his train and try an attack in the last 200m...
