The sleeveless look on hot days needs to make a return, these lot are to concerned about aero, just remember looking cool on the bike is a marginal gain in and of itself.

Also guaranteed DNF in the TdF.

L'Equipe reports that no French riders are in the top ten this year so far. Guillame Martin is 11.

What's it going to take for French riders to compete again for yellow, I wonder?

I don't see any fish in those rivers, Tri.

FDJ needs to ditch the Wiliers and ride proper bikes like Looks or Lapierres

Bernard Hinault to come out of retirement.

The king of cool flying down the mountain in his aviators.

This is for Landa I think. Evenepoel has his eye on the TT tomorrow, apparently.

If he wants that 2nd place he has to gain some time today.

 

[Scarponi]

vingegaard comes second at Newbury, can’t write that script

 

[Sciatic]

Not really but just gifting stages to gift I think is lame and that's what people were basically asking for. Mountain stages were GC riders aren't even try to catch the break are pretty much a snoozefest till the end (cause break just chills too). Anyways maybe it changes and QS actually chases.

And don't get me wrong, I don't think it's that bad. They do whatever they want, I just don't get everyone crying about Pogacar as if this is so much better.

I get that. For me it’s 7am Sat morning still on my 1st cup of coffee, and because it’s the final road stage I would be watching no matter what. I’m tranquilo

ed Also I hope to get to the Côte d’Azur someday so they heli shots give me travel ideas.

 

[Netserk]

Kelderman still pulling, after being dropped on the first climb of the day. Smh.

Throw an anchor, make the gap bridgeable for Jorgenson.

How is Gall this bad this year. Decathlon went from a super team all year long to their 2023 level this Tour

I'm sorry, I just wanted a french rider in my fantasy cycling team.

Well I'm obviously also still watching, just don't really like gifted stages in super mountain stages, but love a breakaway win when it's a super hard fought one. For example if Jorgensen wasn't a Visma rider I would've been heartbroken yesterday. Cause the team did everything perfect honestly. Just Pogacar being an alien.

Bbbut he' isn't French tho...

 

[SHAD0W93]

Honestly it looks like UAE are keeping the gap down in case Soler can’t win with Quickstep.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I'm sorry, I just wanted a french rider in my fantasy cycling team.

I don't think he has to change his nationality, but maybe he would have more success if he changed his name to France Gall. It has worked before.

Isn't it Soudal that's pulling though?

 

[fbjim]

this is such a gorgeous part of france and it's a crime that they don't do legitimate GC stages here more often

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Mas is going to be good at the Vuelta

 

[Sciatic]

Someone remind me why Powless has been so powerless this Tour. Prior crash or illness?

 

[Izzyeviel]

Bbbut he' isn't French tho...

Well I thought he was.

 

[Leinster]

Honestly it looks like UAE are keeping the gap down in case Soler can’t win with Quickstep.

It’s Quickstep doing the pacing though.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Both? Didn’t he crash in Dauphine and then got Covid?
