Can we agree to disagree and let Alaphilippe win Liege next year after his divorce from Lefevere?

Cramps is mostly lack of fitness, according to the latest science, or so I've heard.

My buddy says that heat and hydration regarding cramps is complete bollocks and it just comes down to your fitness level. You race longer and harder than what you're able to at the moment? Cramps. He isn't a a scientist, but is on top of everything of that nature like a true weekend warrior.
Very relieving win by JA. Also a fun 1st day Sunday. Already beats this year’s Giro.
Yep. It can be heat/electrolyte related but vast majority of the time it’s musculoskeletal fatigue from going too hard for too long relative to what you’re capable of. Odd that it happened to so many today though.

Imagine Ala outsprinting Evenepoel and Pogacar at LBL next year, we'd need a special Lefevre cam for that.

Sure, no electrolytes, no water and extreme heat certainly doesn't help the cause either!
coincidence that i never cramp tanning in a beach chair drinking beer?
nah, towing Pog back to Remco would be betterImagine Ala outsprinting Evenepoel and Pogacar at LBL next year, we'd need a special Lefevre cam for that.

Highschool me got craps in my calves and feet the morning after drinking 4-5L of beer over the course of a night, so it can happen.
I’ve also gotten the “craps” from drinking 4-5L of beer

You just weren't used to exercise after drinking 5 liters of beer.

Craps, cramps or crabs?
Well it was his first race day in a while, so it might not be a too much of a worrying sign. There are still few weeks to get in peak shape.

Great to see Alaphilippe winning again, if he gets to the Tour in shape he will be one of the favourites for the Basque stages. Tesfatsion quite impressive today.

Got a couple weeks to get into shape, weather was crappy so can’t take too much from yesterday. Want to see his mountain level before we come to a conclusion.

Bravo Alaf'! I hope that he's back. I want him to have a great Tour. Still, it has been a while since I have felt the Dauphiné vibe, I'm afraid that the design is too "meh" to give us different looks at how GT riders do climbing-wise in June, with the big circus on the horizon.

I would not worry at all!
I would start worrying if on Saturday stage he ships minutes.
