    Should GT young rider classification be changed?

    Nah. It is what it is. If young people do what slightly older people should do then good for them.

    Team Ineos Discussion thread

    I am simple. I would like each of the 23 GT teams (that get to compete) to have a genuine GT contender. Each of them backed up by a team capable of delivering victory. I am naïve. It would be fun; it really would. Thing is, INEOS . I was wondering how many of those 23 slots would currently be...

    Giro d'Italia 2020, stage 21: Cernusco sul Naviglio – Milano 15.7 km ITT

    Good race. Beautiful country. Is it possible to make Italy look bad? Exciting ending. Not the top tier cyclists, but who is these days? No-one has replaced Froome as the man to beat. So it is what it is. I have enjoyed it far more than the tdf. Salut. And if we didn't love it, we would not be...

    Giro d'Italia 2020, stage 15: Rivolto - Piancavallo 185 km

    Giro d'Italia 2020, stage 15: Rivolto - Piancavallo 185 km

    The race is what it is. The cyclists are what they are. We are all here enjoying; disparaging, the best of athletes doing extraordinary things. I used to love football, then I discovered cycling. Best of he best. It's a race - let's enjoy it.

    Question Rate the 2020 Tour de France

    Apologies. I did not wish to seem negative. I have seen better bike races. We all have, I hope. The TT was glorious; the rest - not so much. Having watched every minute, I greatly enjoyed Sam Bennett deciding that maybe Peter Sagan is not going to win the Green Jersey; and maybe I can do...

    Question Rate the 2020 Tour de France

    First time poster, long time admirer of your collective knowledge. Thank you; I have learned, and, no doubt will continue to learn, a lot. I gave it a 4. Without the Green Jersey shenanigans, which kept it alive, this was sub-Sky dull. Nothing really happened GC wise. Pogacar is an amazing...
