I believe they would have had to start the race or at least be present at the sign in for the team to avoid punishment.

He looked at the start time for the women's race by mistake.

I assume it's because they only have 3 fit riders in the area. Swinkels is apparently sick, but I don't know if that's also the case for Van Rooijen and Al Sayegh. According to the UCI rules they shouldn't be allowed to start with fewer than 4 riders, but they have probably been granted...

Their surnames are pronounced differently, but their given names sound exactly the same.

Yes. Emily Dixon was only 18 years and 19 days old when she started the TDU this year, whereas as Lloyd was 18 and 25 days when she made her debut on Mallorca. At some point there will probably be a younger rider than Lloyd with a "real" pro contract who rides the TDU.

If you thought that was his name, I can see why you wouldn't have much faith in him :D I didn't look at him at all, but I do remember hearing about him (it was likely this post from DNP that first made me aware of him). It appears he can't yet race outside of the US, so unless that gets sorted...

I have submitted a team, so I really hope only two other people have signed up... Thank you for extending the deadline, by the way, as I was away on holiday until last night and had completely forgotten when the game was originally scheduled to begin. I chose not to pick one particular rider...

Hayter probably woke up this morning thinking it was another time trial and became sick once he saw the profile. Well it's not the worst race to have to abandon while being in the lead.

Roglič's lost the biggest mouth challenge. I bet Remco would have been able to do better in that side game.

I doubt continuing his career means he'll get banned from entering Japan.

She was invinccible.

Pieter Serry never came close to 100 victories of his own, but he will (almost) be missed as much as those that did regardless.

I will spending a lot of the day in airports, so I wouldn't mind them doing race commentary over the PA systems.

Actually Pogačar used to be a lot like Harry Potter in the first movie: A young man with brown hair and a lot of talent, some would even call it magical powers, who was taught by a bald fraud possessed by an evil spirit.

A marriage is like Lombardia: It goes up and down, but it's also got great curves and beautiful scenery. However, it will sometimes already be over after 5 hours once a Slovenian guy makes his move.
