I didn't understand Ineos tactics in the final 8km - The race had split with Plapp their GC rider in a group of 11 or 12 BUT yet Ganna dragged Viviani and other GC riders back to the lead group - I found this to be bewildering tactics - I doubt that Ineos is developing Plapp well when you look at his calendar - No one day races have been included in 18mths, yet Plapp's skill set indicates he should be effective in one day races.

Vuelta a Colombia prologue, won by a certain Superman and his Super Sock.
Ninth and tenth place being on same time with the same name: The Colombians are using cloning!

ASO should be going cap-in-hand to Medellin and asking them to the le tour, imagine Sevilla dropping the hammer for Miguel Angel on Loze, it could've been truly legendary.
He did ride the Cadel race earlier this season which is a one day race, also the nationals, worlds, comm games last season which are all one day races.
Nationals, World's and Comm Games are for Australia - Ineos have not given him a program which explores his potential - Hopefully he comes to his senses and moves to Jayco in 2025 where he will be a team leader.
Pretty sure nationals are for your trade team. Would be pretty weird if riders rode for national teams at national championships.
La route d'Occitaine stage 3 - up in the montains, 189 km, 3 climbs. Time for Pozzovivo to be unleashed! Guerreiro otherwise for the win.
Crashed very heavily in Hongrie and Basque iirc, sick in March
Story of their season
Ineos and I suppose the Australians too, both teams seem to be spending a substantial amount of time on the ground
It was a very enjoyable stage IMO (aka Route d'Occitanie).
Maybe because in cycling terms I needed a welcome break from the Suisse stuff but I actually enjoyed that final climb. And that part of France looks absolutely beautiful at this time of the year when the weather is good.
