Not today though

Vdp won the sprint b/c of narvaez and almeida otherwise vauqulin or an attacker would have won it coz vdp has no teammates left

Holy moly! It's easy to know who is in charge at home.
After reading this, maybe Vingegaard doesn't have more than 3-4 years of professional cycling.

We just have to hope pogacar makes this tour interesting. If it is a spanker as was in dauphine she might make him stop

The people hating on pineapple have never had it cooked well with the pizza and it shows. If anything shrimp or artichoke are by far the worst topping and I love shrimp.

Maybe someone already posted this. The Cycling Podcasts reports that Confidis had 11 bikes stolen before Stage 2.

Word on the street is the culprit had a gold and silver Olympic medals clanging as he rode away.

You must have missed German Eurosport somehow then. It's a normal TV station, quite surprising if it wasn't on the Hotels TV. I am guessing the ARD also has an internet broadcast of the entire stage, atleast that's what they did last year.

It was there to be fair, but while ARD was in perfect HD, the Eurosport stream looked like it had been filmed by something before the invention of the camera.

What an absolute disgusting vile, uncalled for personal attack on a guy's wife and family.. Get a grip. Don't post about rider's wives, family, especially children, get some control.

just you wait until Urska retires and wants children. "Tadej, another altitude camp? Enough already."

Urska understands the world of cycling and the commitment more than Vingegaard’s wife, on top of Pogacar not having anywhere near as severe crash as Vingegaard did. I’m sure that plays a role into his wife’s mindset as well.

People should stop complaining in general. It's a flat dough, the whole idea is that you can put on it whatever you want to make it tasteful. The crispy flat dough is to make it easier to eat with your hands.

Touchy subject apparently, my bad, all hail king Pogacar

It's not that, it's the fact that you seemed to be putting words into his mouth. I want Vingegaard to win this Tour, but I didn't see any of the supposed excuses you saw from Pogacar. Where did he imply he could have won? He just criticised his own performance and praised van der Poel. I don't really know what else he's supposed to say? He has beaten van der Poel on the odd occasion in a sprint, so he knows the circumstances need to be right.

To be honest, I always find it irritating when people say riders are looking for excuses when most of the time they're just analysing their own performances. Isn't that what elite athletes are supposed to do?

That woman is a total psychopath...

Not really. She probably has a longer career in cycling than you, even before meeting Jonas she was a communications manager at ColoQuick, so she has been behind the scenes for at least 10 years.

But she should have weighted her words more wisely, sure.

 

[Rackham]

When you're employed by Visma, smack talking about Wout van Aert should be against corporate policy. So Vinge's manager could be Mother Teresa and I'd still by default now cheer for all of his teammates to ride for their own glory - on principle - based on her comments.

Look at the graveyard on the left. Look at the tomb stones. Look at where all those spectators are standing...

 

[CyclistAbi]

@Rackham

It's the Tour, only appropriate.

Imagine dying just so that some ingrates can wipe their muddy shoes on your tomb stone so they can watch a bike race.

The 'valeurs de la République' are safe, apparently.

Damn, thought it were living dead, that is nasty indeed, even if it is for the purpose of watching the Tour!

Look at the graveyard on the left. Look at the tomb stones. Look at where all those spectators are standing...

Truly a matter of grave concern.

Truly a matter of grave concern.

It left me stony faced.
