[Potomac]

You guys complaining about the stage.
You could have just watched the stage of the Giro Donne

Why do you want to read me complaining about another race?

 

[Berniece]

I wonder who gets the combativity award today

A french cyclist

And I'm neutral on the president.

Danish TV2 saying Cavendish hit the highest top speed of all in the sprint yesterday, at 73 kph.

There is hope for the old man yet

Racing was great in Italy!

Not unusual for the break to only get away after the bonus sprint.
Bit unusual when it happens after 100ish Ks...

Imagine if you organize the Wimbledon tournament and then Djokovic and Nadal just stretch on the court and drink coffee. And after 3 hours they decide to just play the final tie-break.

It was their early rounds opponents who were the stretching/coffee/easy yet stressful sprint stages until they met the mountains in each other.

I‘m imagining him as some sort of bird-mutant now.

Be carefull, you might just unwillingly start a new conspiracy theory! Bird-Mutan-Shape-Shifters have taken over from Repteloid-Shape-Shifters! Either way, we are ruled by shape shifters, look out for Alex Jones, he might be onto you now!

Sorry! That's a Twitter link.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Really fascinating/historical architecture this has been so far, never mind the riders.

 

[Stelvio]

Sorry! That's a Twitter link.

Since Twitter decided the other day to go full-private, I think it would be a good idea to actually include what was said in the tweet.

If you wait a little, the tweet will show up in the post.
It's the clip with that guy "riding" over the haybales earlier.

I'm excited about this race track finish. That should be fun.
