Thanks!
First time poster, long time admirer of your collective knowledge. Thank you; I have learned, and, no doubt will continue to learn, a lot. I gave it a 4. Without the Green Jersey shenanigans, which kept it alive, this was sub-Sky dull. Nothing really happened GC wise. Pogacar is an amazing talent, but to win it while doing next to nothing, with no GC excitement, on a TT, is not doing it for me.
On the bright side I greatly enjoyed Hirschi, and the unleashed Carapaz. (I remain furloughed, so I saw every minute (aside from Carlton Kirby (whom I genuinely enjoy (try doing that for three hours at a time) induced dozes)).
Welcome. Your negative attitude will feel right at home here
Basically more extreme version of the 2011 Tour I reckon.It's genuinely impossible to rate this tour without having seen the TT. It's the only thing this is gonna be remembered for but then it's going to be remembered for a long, long time. History will be nice to this race
