First time a team has used a colored tyre.
Who at TJV thought grey was a good colour for a cycling jersey?
The one & only Primoz Roglic with his usual display of laconic charisma.
Oh, I see the fans trolled TJV. It may look good from close distance, but it just looks grey on long shots and that's what we'll see most of the time.The fans. They voted for the jersey (there were 3 options to choose from in an online poll). I think it looks good, for what it's worth.
I think we need that Kate Wagner to conduct every English interview with him, if we want to get anything remotely useful out of him.
Not that Pogacar did much better though.

This team presentation makes me want to never watch cycling again.
I don't know what exactly some of you expected. For Roglič to sing a song or something? As an accordion was near maybe to play the official tune.
He did:Didn't Pantani have yellow tires in 1998?
Sam Bennett had a green chain last year (but that did not particularly stand out in helicopter footage.)I wonder why teams don`t go more the route of creative coloring their bikes. Surely the team and the sponsors get great publicity if they e.g. go with completely bright blue/pink/orange wheels because you can pick them out from every overhead or far distanced shot.
It just got better (i.e. jumped the shark): rap. Aka rapping.
Yep, because when I watch bike racing & the Tour, I immediately think gangster rap.
Does anybody know where I can find a list of bonification seconds for this year's Tour. I know there's 10sec, 6 sec and 4sec for 1st, 2nd and 3rd on road stages but are there some climbs that have rewards?
Thank you very much. I notice the climbs on some stages have bonuses of 8,5 and 2 secs. Do you guys think that the bonuses should be more to encourage more aggressive racingYes some climbs have bonuses. Procyclingstats stage profiles
