Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

Someone was. That statement was made at the time, and not with the benefit of hindsight.

Yes, this is not a Froome situation where Sky had to flood the zone with BS like Badzilla to explain Froome's performance. Pogacar was already climbing with WT-level guys on a team from Slovenia

I'm 🤏 close to giving up on watching this sport.

It's lost me

Another era dominated by the newest GOATs who can ride back to back tours, I've been here 4 times before.

We know how it ends, as it will eventually for Wiggins and Froome

One day I just stopped watching it, I wake up see the result - same people same herculean performances same hunchback blowing off everyone else huffing out of their saddles. I found I just didn't miss it

When I tune in before I go to bed (Australia) its now in the hope that there is a big breakaway with a chance for the lesser knowns to grab a crumb. Some furniture that might take out some saucebags. I look at flags hoping for cross winds.

Yeah we get it, they need more than bread and water to entertain us for 21 days we understand that. But not this.

Yeah, it might be hypocritical of someone who wants a totally clean sport to turn a blind eye to everyone spreading a bit of extra butter on their toast, but at the moment it seems like half the peloton is scraping on just enough butter that they feel they can safely get away with saying it's just plain old bread, while most of the other half have come to realise they can keep smearing as many giant blobs of the stuff on as they can afford to and most people will just glance at it and see a normal and unproblematic sandwich. Then there's a select few that are sprinking a couple of breadcrumbs on top of a stick of dynamite and insisting that the abomination you're looking at is still just a totally normal slice of toast.
