Is this topic reserved for barber shop conversation or we can talk about the race?

Bit hard to talk about racing when they ain't racing.

 

[starlord]

They're all smiling because test results will be known tomorrow morning

Ah, ok. I thought they will be publicly announced tomorrow morning with teams already knowing the result.

Can’t remember if riders do interviews on rest days—might be useful to include those here for those of us in countries where there is no press coverage in our media.

Some more Ineos rest day

PS: They really need to put that weird SUV into every pic it seems. Marketing

 

[Red Rick]

* Thibaut Pinot.

I really needed to hear that from Andy.

 

[ice&fire]

Riding behind that SUV must be equivalent to training in hypoxia conditions

Andy Schleck's Tour de France favourites after week one

2010 winner ranks the main GC contenders

Oh No......Primoz will not benefit from an Abandony selection . It's more like a curse on his chances!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Oh, Andy's just doe-eyed about Jumbo's race tactics as they remind him of himself in the first 3/4 of the 2011 Tour.

LOL. I think CN should re-think about who they ask for the picks.

Pinot and Ala's picks were always heart and not head. Now, you have one star on Pinot??? so there is a possibility of everyone contracting covid but him. Same with Buchmann. What about Uran. He had him with 2 stars, now he has him with 2 stars again. Lol. I bet a million dollars nobody had him at this position after the Pyrenees. At least put 1/2 star just to show that you were wrong. Tom Domoulin was with 2 stars and now he has 2 stars. Really? so he knew he would be in this domestique position?

To be fair, he does start out with pointing out that his GC is over.

I image Andy takes his time to write an article, he probably stops and turns around to see if Fränk is there after every single paragraph.

They pay the bill after all.

But yeah those are some weird pics. There are some smarter ways to do so.

Just imagine the pics with the whole Alpecin squad under the shower after a race or Alaph helping Asgreen setting some flooring solutions between 2 intervals.

It's his natural hair, he's always had that discoloration

who's the french guy?
he must have a lot of good story to brag about..

Quentin Jauregui, he's not a bad pro himself, obviously not to the same level as Mathieu and Wout but then he was the 'best of the rest' back then too. That's the Koksijde World Championships I believe, I was there.

Tadej Pogacar now doubles as a hairdresser as well

Alaph helping Asgreen setting some flooring solutions between 2 intervals.

You don't think those picture with the riders lying with their bikes - often in pieces - on the floor are weird enough?

Oh, and it should be Alaph helping Mørkøv; he used to work as a carpenter.

 

[Lequack]

FDJ dinner

 

[Breezy1985]

Sunny and no strong winds tomorrow, only a light breeze. Looks like it will be a perfectly boring stage.

Sam Bennett will finally win therefore making this the best stage yet

 

[BlueRoads]

Since this is the barber thread: I always tell my son to push his front hair up, because that looks way better! I want to tell Tadej the same.

 

[Lequack]

Arkea rest day

Right, I completely forgot those picture.

Those were creepy. I miss Cippo haha.

The (plan) B Sharps?

Dumoulin. Carapaz. Mollema.

Aru.

So Andy and Frank are just like the "Brothers" (AKA Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas, Mckenzie Brothers) in the Silly Movie "Strange Brew"
