I don't think they ride in underwear...

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Primoz not even wearing red shorts or gloves!

To be fair, the black and yellow goes really well with the red, so with the black gloves and shorts it still looks classy. If you already look classy, why gild the lily?

Lol, now Quintana is wearing the points jersey as number five in the classification because Roglic, Pogacar, Valverde and Bennett all have better things to wear.

 

[Lequack]

The Spaniards are having quite the chat

I'm ok with the "parade" for the men to finish in Paris or Madrid. Sure, I'd prefer a proper crit course, but I get what they are doing. However, the women should get a proper crit course.

For when they ride to the stage in the bus, obviously.
(I... actually thought you wrote ride underwater!)

Definitely classy but no different than he's been dressed for what 11 days . I'm Glad there isn't a red bike.

Well there are bikes you can ride in the pool.

For the first time ever, all three Grand Tour winners were born in a Non-Alignment Pact country.

Nice obscure fact spot

 

[Lequack]

What's that bracelet that Roglic and some others seems to be wearing?

 

[RedheadDane]

Congratulations, Ezquerra!

 

[Lequack]

I guess that answers any questions about Valverde doing any sprinting today!! They are all guzzling beer!! And the guy proposing to his fiancee in the BH team car!!omg..get that guy a new helmet and a shot of tequila!!!!

 

[Lequack]

Eurosport commentator unaware that the eagle decals on Roglic's bike are custom for him, he seemed to think it was a Bianchi thing.

On a lighter note

Is Gaviria still in this race?

Is Gaviria still in this race?

Yes

 

[Singularitarian]

Why even having this processionary ASO thing here... should be named Funebrada-Champs de Toreadores... anything would be better, final TT, hilly stage or proper "flat" stage with at least some little difficulties so that we can have at least a break (I understand there are none around Paris, but here...?), few laps in the city at the end can be included, no problem (to attract crowds)

Just tuned in... Have I missed something?

 

[Sciatic]

I just realized why I watch such an uneventful stage—it’s sort of like watching the athletes stroll into the stadium at the closing ceremony for the Olympics. I don’t care about the actual ceremonies but I’ve been following their stories for two to three weeks, the good & bad, and watching that ceremony or this stage is my seeing the story through to the end, and signing off until next year (or 4 years).

 

[TourOfSardinia]

DQS looking ominous ...

 

[Unchained]

All together..hairpin turn has the jump happening before any traditional sprint.. I pick Gilbert

No nothing

GC climbers doing sprint lead outs is my favorite part about parade stages
