No

Tour de Suisse, Belgium and Slovenia on one day... and I'm not excited at all.

Not sure if it's the routes, the cyclists, or simply the fact that all of my favourite riders are still out.

Maybe you know... Are there any updates on Hodeg's situation? Time table for his return?

What Sagan included?

Not that I know of. I'm not following him on any social media or such, though.

 

[BR2]

What Sagan included?

Hodeg, Alaphilippe, Bernal
Cosnefroy is riding, but doesn't seem to be in great shape.

Sagan I honestly don't care much about in any direction.

This break will not succeed in any case, the finish could be interesting again.

She has to deny knowing anything about Hodeg. Plausible deniability in case he gets kidnapped by RHD for her cloning project.

 

[spalco]

Arensman DNF. Disappointing after his strong Giro.

i have to admit, i did expect more from these first days in Suisse. it could still develop, but i agree with those that suggested placing one of those mountain stages earlier in the race would have been better. this backloading of most (if not all) GC/difficult stages is a trend in modern cycling that tends to kill off excitement throughout the race for very little payoff...

Excuse me?! I think I've made it pretty clear that I'm strongly opposed to both kidnappings and clonings.

Apart from that one time I considered some pre-emptive kidnapping...

Yeah yeah. That's what all cloning kidnappers would say.

I think you'd clone yourself, so you could stand along the whole route of a race and not miss a single second of the action.

Multiple races! A million RedheadDanes!



(There's a scary thought...)

Scary thought indeed! But I guess we'd just need a million Blue Roads to get rid of them.

No you simpleton, she'd clone herself and have her clone get arrested, so she has an airtight alibi for when she goes on her kidnapping spree.

 

[red_flanders]

Not seeing Remco at the front anywhere…

 

[RedheadDane]

Meanwhile, in the actual race: Less than 20 Ks to go. Peloton slowly gobbling up the escapees.

 

[Big Doopie]

Not seeing Remco at the front anywhere…

think i spotted him but somewhat far back.

 

[Big Doopie]

here he comes.

 

[red_flanders]

Moving up now.

 

[spalco]

Not seeing Remco at the front anywhere…

He's there, looking ok.

 

[RedheadDane]

Brambilla attacks.
