    I get he's making a point. But kind of sad (just to me) to celebrate what would be a big win for most riders with a show of spite.

    Nice to see Purito on the post-race panel.

    Regardless of who and how, it's good there's at least a Spanish stage winner, since they probably won't have any riders in the top 10.

    I'm always amazed how little Portuguese sounds like a romance language.

    I would not understand if they didn't. And in this case 2nd place is the new red jersey so that adds to it.

    I noticed that L’Avenir—both men’s and women’s stages—are broadcast on Max, though the stages have finished so early I haven’t watched any.

    Given the parcours he’s likely to stay there—unless Ving, Ciccone, Gaudu, et al. keep sprinting for every medium mtn finish

    Teams & Riders The "MVP" Mathieu Van der Poel Road Discussion Thread

    As too the 2nd question, we always did as teenagers at our town course. The clubhouse/office closed around 8pm, so we could play for free from then until it was too dark to see. We used to run to our ball between shots so we could in as many holes as possible.

    My first thought was, the “Wrinkle in Time” author? ;) Great book.

    Wouldn’t it be better if they did this stage in reverse? (Apologies if this was discussed already). Although the profile does work well for a good breakaway.
