Lutsenkos descending also sucks it seems.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Kwiatkowski almost made the break (10 metres short), and is now in the groupetto

Chasse patate of the day.

 

[Boehmand]

They must be sticking to the plan, more or less. Maybe Jumbo lights it up a little later.

But they are 8 minutes in front, there is no need for him to spend energy drilling it in the break

 

[awavey]

Nope, a fortified castle in German is called a Burg, A Schloss is more like an extremely elaborate Manor house

I guess "aesthetically for me" means something different in French & German too...

Schloss:

Burg:

There are some then that were originally burgs but became more schloss like. Eltz and Hohenzollen so not always correct just to go off the name

ITV might not have JHB's recipes, but they have a German geologist, and now a snippet of 'Je t'aime" to mark the death of Jane Birkett.

For Latour I walk the path of compassion and pity. It might be better just to call it a career, these demons could affect a life.

 

[glassmoon]

Latour latouring... hard to fathom that he is a world tour rider

 

[JosefK]

So, if Jumbo were focused solely on winning the GC, is there a reason why they wouldn't call Wout back from the break, today ... considering what's happened after the crash?

Birkin

Would you rather ...
...get it in the schloss
....get in the chateau
or get it in the burg?

Lots of reasons why it's a good idea to have a strong teammate up the road for a GC guy.

I can’t recall any bad crashes downhill of his. Does he have any?

He isn't, Total aren't WT.

I'd prefer to get it in the Palais

Coquard with some technical issues.

Broken handlebars on a mountain descent can't be much fun

He specifically named Oman 2019. Which I find weird, since he didn't even race in Oman in 2019.

Isn't it the case that the castles built in the Middle Ages were called Burg and the ones built afterwards were called schloss?

 

[RobertCrawley]

Isn't it the case that the castles built in the Middle Ages were called Burg and the ones built afterwards were called schloss?

Were there famous castle guys who were known for doing good work. Famous castle architects, I guess? The best castle contractor of his age?

What about steens and steins?

Hmm.

 

[Potomac]

Carbon fiber handle bars imploded?

 

[Boehmand]

Can't imagine LOOK likes those pictures being broadcast to the entire world

They are luckily already down in the valley, but I can imagine he complained in the same words during his bike change!
