Lance said it was politically incorrect of Pog to attack

Funny enough I also thought Pogacar purely attacked out of spitefulness yesterday because Visma tried to rip the race apart and get so many in the break. I do think he has that petty streak in him.

Which is exactly what Lance would've done himself so pretty hilarious to comment on that.

What's with the studio role play and why is Mel Gibson there?

 

[slim charles]

To be fair to Lance ( I feel dirty saying that) he DID say on the podcast that it's the thing he used to do and that he now realizes was wrong.

It was the first and the last of the Move podcast I will listen to because I feel like there's half an hour of commercial breaks in there..

Lance has "grown up". IE he's a bit smarter nowadays. Agree on the sponsors. I listen to the Brunyel JB and JB though. Less sponsors on there.

Please never change color on the stach Cort!

Over/under on how far main peloton finishes behind?

I got 15:19

Remco is smelling blood, this is actually the perfect stage for him. Do not be fooled by the profile, there is not one meter of flat. One can hope....

Given what’s coming the next two days I’d be shocked to see him attack on this course.

 

[Didinho]

I want Mathieu to win. Already some strong riders with him. Healy would be the favorite here.

He hasn't been able to hang with the top two in any serious mountain stage. Not yet anyway.

9th anniversary, it's still funny.

Quick linguistic question:

Doesn't "corp" mean, well... "corpse"? That gives "Côte de Corps" a rather macabre name...

Those questions has trickled my mind every time I climbed up the village by bike taking a rest at the lunch bar before heading further on for more severe challenges - but leaving the village again the question left my mind every time. So good you're here, RhD. I hope today's commentators have the full story ready.

Quite the source for morality in cycling.

Agreed, haha, although I way I interpreted his comments about the "politics" was actually about the questions dominant performances generate in cycling, and how Pogi should tone it down a bit as he doesn't need to do anything crazy to win the tour from here. He may be right, but easy to say from the studio of course. I'm sure most viewers would rather not have riders hiding their true form for the sake of pr.

Hiking and riding bikes on steep cliffs: Hard pass.

No clue what that commentator was talking about. Jesus DNSed before stage 13...

 

[Didinho]

Give Stuyven 30 minutes please, thanks.

Col de l'Homme Mort is also a thing..

 

[Tim Cahill]

Little public apology from me for referring to bart lemon as 'the biggest moron ive ever seen in my life' before the race as he's actually been quite good.

It is Jesus, he may be back now.

Campenaerts has the most interesting second language English skills. It's not the usual cycling English.

Yes. It was an admonition not to invite more questions about his performances, not a comment on morality.

I also quite like Trentin's.

 

[noob]

OMG my commentator now also just talking about what I assume was mou

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Oh Luke Durbridge is part of the race, and actually his own group atm. Did not notice him at all until today.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Yes. It was an admonition not to invite more questions about his performances, not a comment on morality.

Also morality. He, George, and Johan talked about how it was important not to anger or upset other riders by running up the score.
