2020 World Championships - now confirmed for Imola, Italy.

Chateau helishots is the standard unit of time at the Tour.
"I'll be back in about 7 chateaux"

An alternative for Danish viewers (at least certain stages):
"I'll be back in five Rolf Sørensen personal wind measurements."

 

[Blanco]

I wonder how the atmosphere will be in Team Slovenia.

Very good.

 

[Blanco]

I don't think going all out for Fuglsang is the correct choice. He doesn't have a good sprint, so he'd have to arrive solo or with someone who's less of a sprinter than he is, and I have a hard time seeing this happening. Kragh is such a fine rider, with tactical nouse. He would've been perfect here, to lurk in the shadows.

I have an easy time seeing it...

Apparently Pog's gf was the last one classified yesterday. They could have both ends of the classification after today

Accordimg to his statements he'll support his friend Roglic.
Not exactly the strongest breakaway ever...

I don't usually watch BBC cycling, Boardman has a bit of a drab voice but it's nice to hear someone who clearly knows what they're talking about at least trying to talk about the race, he might be a good partner for Kirby on Eurosport, who is well practiced in talking *** filling time for 7 hours. He's more recognisable to non-cycling fans too, ask any late 30s/early 40s British layman to name a cyclist they'll say Boardman or Wiggins. For quite a while he was all we had, except Millar, but he doesn't count.

yeah, quite weak and already being controlled.

 

[TomLPC]

Someone random Greek at the front just seems to have started drilling it for a laugh, theres 170k left and the breaks advantage has gone down a minute, peloton strung out.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

How much are they paying Polychronis, and who?

My own guess is the Belgians as "Pol" rode in Belgium for the past few years and speaks dutch

 

[Salvarani]

Or he hopes someone will notice him, and give him a chance at a team.

 

[tobydawq]

Well, his name is Polychronis, meaning more than one chrono, so I guess he didn't get enough Friday.

Quite fittingly he's also a multipe Greek chrono champion.

Uhm... Honoré... what ya doing?

I was about to ask someone with an insight into the Dane soul what he was doing.

 

[RedheadDane]

I was about to ask someone with an insight into the Dane soul what he was doing.

Danish commentators were speculating/joking that he was going to say hello to his in-laws, who live on the route. His father-in-law is the Radio Tour guy during RCS races.

 

[BlueRoads]

Van Aert close to the front, preparing his 145k solo like every decent van nowadays.

Who's in charge of the music here?

All brain cells blasted away before take-off. Seems like a good preparation for aggressive racing.

Ugh, if there is one thing Belgian cyclist seem to have in common (check Remco's recovery tweet) it's that they have no taste in music.
Marginale kermismuziek, voor op de botsotto's. As we'd say.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

I think it’s kind of charming that they all seem to listen to nosebleed inducing pounding electronic stuff. Its better than footballers taste anyway

I don't like to be pretentious about music, my tasts aren't that refined myself but kermis and carnaval music make me reconsider that

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Belgium will do all the work and then lose like always.

True.

Being a football fan of your local 1st division club, is also a test where i live.

Music is religion. We all disagree on it, but we don't fight about that, at least not fiercely.

And it can lift us onto a higher plane.

Ruanda such a beautiful jersey

clearly a man who has never tried to change the music away from songs about counting animals when my toddler is in the room
