Today was nothing?
Why are you guys always finding something to complain about? It's the holidays, who cares about days of the week in July?
I'd assume most people here aren't students or teachers and are still working Monday to Friday this month.

Yeah, it’s a little easier for us in the western U..S., since getting up my normal time for work (630) I can catch an hour or more before heading off. I knew I wanted to catch as much as possible of Stage 11 so got up at 4:30 for that one—but I can catch up on sleep hitting the sack earlier that evening.There is days of the week then there is the time of day.
Down under we have to stay up to 1:30am to watch the Tour live. The only stages I would watch live are big mountain stages. So because the big mountain stages are on weekdays this year when I need to work this means I haven't had much I can stay up for. Last night I needed the sleep

The sooner these flailing sprint teams release its far more efficient to place your sprinter with support in the break (see mads) than chase meaninglessly all day the better their results will be.
Pedersen has basically said that he wants to win the sprint today, so I guess Trek will contribute to it. DSM could as well, as Dainese looks undroppable at least. Bora said that they may push for a reduced sprint (for van Poppel) on the climb. All in all, I'd think there's enough interest, and most strong breakaway contenders must be tired as wellIt all depends on Bike Ex. Do they wait for 19 and 21 for a sprint or do they sense a chance with Dylan? If they wait for 19 and 21 then I think Schultz in the break. If there is no bike ex to chase then break wins. Lotto won’t be chasing as Ewan is banged up and they have basically said they are nursing him through to 19 and 21. Who else chases? Quickstep have been ravaged with covid. Alpecin can’t do it alone.
August definitely more popular in many (most?) parts of Europe. But really, are there people who are actually working at work instead of watching the Tour?i mean most europeans have 3-4 weeks of summer holiday, which most take in july or june. The after a day at the Beach, nothing better than coming Home and watch the last hour or so of the stage.
A major factor in what happened on stage 11. Probably won’t make much difference but I am sure Vingo would prefer to have Roglic’s strength at his disposal. A small glimmer of hope for Pog.Roglic not starting today.
It's a killer isn't it. I and many others know you pain! The last mountain stage was 2:30. And most of it was pretty sleep worthy after the excitement (and sleep deprivation) of the previous stage.There is days of the week then there is the time of day.
