With more money, a new manager and new ambitions, let's see what this team becomes in the future.

Yes, this way. Or forbidden word-forbidden word.

That's because the forum has to get ready for... 2031. We don't want to hear Paul Seiyx&asch all over the place ('... Paul who?').

He pronounces it the French way (and yes, the beginning sounds like the forbidden word), like all people named Seixas in France do (this Portuguese surname is common in France, as Oliveira is - also pronounced the French way). That's the way it usually goes. Armand Duplantis wears a French name...

Hm... which one is the hammer?

We can't joke about Vingegaard anymore since we know he can build kitchens.

Marginal gains ? (Dominique Serieys wants his team to win, and he is quite serious about it.)

Well, a transfer is an interesting thing. A fresh start in a new environment. Friendly competition between teammates. New coaches? New training methods? Zone 2? Better recovery? A special pillow? Marginal gains? I would keep an eye on Remco. We know miracles do happen sometimes. Regarding the...

Oh dear... Plugge, Lappartient and Macron will be delighted on Twitter. What a feast... At least when Léon Marchand (another generational talent) smashes records, the first two are keeping quiet.

A singing completion, with eachside of the road trying to be louder than the other: that's Bâbord-tribord (Port-starboard), a classic (noisy) game. I was also stuck in it (didn't really understand if I was in the port or the starboard group), and saw the baskets let down from the windows for the...

Nobody has opened a thread to share their experience (or adventures) on the roads of the Tour, so I’ll drop my little tale here, as I attended this last stage. I had already attended the Olympics road race and wouldn’t have missed this one. We arrived 3 hours before the riders and were very...

I am asking "why does he look like a different man?", "Why is he not happy to win anymore?" I don't cheer for him as a rider, but I will always worry for the guys behing the riders.

I agree, there's a crappy atmosphere at the end of This tour. Whether Pocacar is doing it on purpose or not, a winner with that kind of attitude is not exactly inspiring.

I think he's following certain instructions, whether they come from the UCI or from his team. In any case, that's the best explanation I can find for this last week, which looks like burn out to me. In addition to being freezing cold at the end of each stage, which indicates physical disorder...

Light rain is announced from the beginning of the afternoon. Could have stopped when the riders arrive in Montmartre, but it might still be slipery. Loulou is my winner. They'll let him go, because he's Loulou.
