In a word, OUI!oldcrank said:I wonder if Geraint is still listening to "Don't Let The Kidsoldcrank said:Well, she's not from Wales like SuperG but Julia Jacklin
hails from down in New South Wales and her 2016 disc
"Don't Let The Kids Win" (no offense to Egan I'm sure)
has a lovely track "Coming Of Age" that G might enjoy:
Yeah now I'm alright, I'm doing fine
But I'll be pushing up that hill until I get what's mine
Yeah now I'm gonna learn this new stage
Didn't see it coming, my coming of age
A nice description of stages 11 and 12 Julia, very nice.
So is this art imitating life, or is it sport imitating art?
Win" and if he has moved on from the 3rd track "Coming
Of Age" to track five called "Motherland" with these lyrics:
But oh I'm good, I think I'm good.
Will I be great, will I be great?
In his Motherland of Wales he's already considered great!

He's been the strongest rider from the word go. No reason to think that will change, all the way to Paris.
It ranks very low on the list of cycling's jokesDekker_Tifosi said:Not really. It's a perfect course for him, absolutely perfect. A rolling course with a nice hill at the end. It's almost like Bergen.
jaylew said:The big question now is, does he stay with Sky? Seemed like he was leaning towards leaving but now? It will be interesting to see how Sky handles this. Do they just tell them they will be co-leaders at next year's Tour? I don't see Froome or G wanting to do the Giro next year

Rumors that Pinot is arriving as well.
If we go back to the 2008 UCI Track World Championships where Siroldcrank said::surprised: SuperG joins Christophe Riblon! Another trackie prevails!oldcrank said:I always love it when trackies do well on the road, whether it is
monuments, classics, grand tour podiums or stages. If a track
rider wins on the Alpe tomorrow, and I am not really expecting
that to happen, it won't be the first time. A great rider that has
won a silver in the points race in the world championships and
has ridden the Team Pursuit for his nation at the Euros, World
Cup and Olys also has two Tour stage wins on two epic climbs.
That's if you consider Ax 3 Domaines and Alpe d'Huez epic.
edit: I almost forgot he also has a madison silver at the worlds.
And our Super-G has a madison silver from the worlds as well,
to go with all his Olympic and world champs team pursuit golds.
Why, that's so illogical. Is it to fulfill the weird desire to win the Tour with a French rider? Even though Brailsford has said he now hates french people? He'll be behind Bernal and future Tour winner Luke Rowe too, anyway.MatParker117 said:jaylew said:The big question now is, does he stay with Sky? Seemed like he was leaning towards leaving but now?
