    Benji naesen said the uci needs to give points for being in the breakaway. I think the uci needs to give zero points for 4th or worse on sprint stages.

    Tour de France Stage 6: Bayeux – Vire-Normandie (201.5k)

    I keep hearing British people brag (??) about being unable to afford to pay 30 quid for an entire month of entertainment. They must really believe the meek will inherit the earth..? Meek and whinging. But I'd pay that in a heartbeat if I didn't have to listen to TJVG, CVDV, et al give their...

    Classic example of "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth". Or perhaps he forgot the lesson of Tim Krabbe, "Always attack as late as you can, but before the others do." Anyway if you take out Healy then he looked very strong by comparison to all the household names he dropped!

    History tells me Asgreen has a chance, the others not so much.
