Isn’t Dennis here?

i would say he is favorite for the TT. Particularly if we don’t see him throughout the rest of the race.

Dennis is here and Dennis has stopped being a TT favorite since 2019.
He is also suffering with health issues.

You never seem to know what Rohan Dennis will show up. At his best this would be ideal but who knows.

Has Sagan already been demoted as a domestique?

Can't be long before he signs a record deal with Israel Cycling.

Bit early for Dennis to be dropped, or was he working back on?

 

[glassmoon]

Dennis the mountain goat alredy among the cars...

 

[titan31]

Ah getting back on. That would have been a bad sign

 

[Aimar16]

The bookies believe he is the third biggest favourite in this stage now. But I don't know...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Some teams try to mimic more successful teams and fail.

Total said 'that's not an entertaining way of being run badly' and tried to mimic Israel signing an obviously-finished former superstar for stupid money. Unfortunately for them, they succeeded.

C*zzo di bici!!!

Colnago & Campagnolo

 

[Bolder]

I don't quite understand what kind of rider Simmons thinks he is. Collecting climbers' jerseys in weeklong races? Classics specialist? He's clearly got a huge engine, but he strikes me as a bit of a "tweener" -- not a great sprinter, a very good climber for his size but not a GC threat...he's almost physically like a Moscon but hasn't yet shown he can win a big race. Ofc he's still incredibly young and I guess this will be figured out shortly...

 

[glassmoon]

Hirschi with (another) bike change

Hirschi's bikes are voodoo cursed.

 

[BR2]

I am expecting Pogacar vs. Colnago bikes this year at the Tour.

 

[sir fly]

Hirschi must be a good candidate for the combativity prize with all this catching up.

Okay, do I watch this till the finish or do I leave the house? Is there a chance it's not a bunch sprint?

I think classics so far. But as you say he's only 21

There is always a chance.

 

[glassmoon]

wow Bissegger... crazy

Do you have somewhere you need to go? Or are you just contemplating leaving the house voluntarily?
You're not planning a kidnapping mission, are you?

EF Tuesday?
