Don't ask me what a Bennett fracture is.

It's a hoax for women returning to their abusing husbands, according to Lefevre

So far BEX was best at the flag waving - from what we have seen.

Nibali's English actually isn't so bad.

''It's a me, Antonio. I gonna rescue the princess from the castle and a jump on the turtles.''

That's all you'll get out of him.

The Continentals sure do enjoy some EDM, they should've handed out pills or something at the entrance make things a big more interesting.

He looks like a teenager!

I was thinking this is 'Cruise ship' standards of performance but she's bloody lip syncing.

''So Primoz, why is the Vuelta so good for you, why do you like it so much?''
- ''Tadej doesn't care about it''.

Jumbo must be an absolutely terrible team to manage, since apparently they need four DSes, when all the other teams just need two:

• 1. Jumbo-Visma
  • 1 ROGLIČ Primož
  • 2 AFFINI Edoardo
  • 3 DENNIS Rohan
  • 4 GESINK Robert
  • 5 HARPER Chris
  • 6 KUSS Sepp
  • 7 OOMEN Sam
  • 8 TEUNISSEN Mike
  DS ENGELS Addy, NIERMANN Grischa, WYNANTS Maarten, WAGNER Robert

And meanwhile all the important decisions get made by 2 podcasters.

Unfortunately, no. He was asked that question though.

When we leave NL (Im so tired of these foreign starts), there's 2 sprint stages - one to Cabo de Gata (stage 11) and one to Madrid (stage 21). In that aspect, we can't really moan too much!

Were you also tired of them seven weeks ago?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Seven weeks ago it was mainly annoying that the Tour of Denmark had to finish in France.

Sporting wise, yeah, it really didn't add anything to the race. I was obviously excited to watch the Tour, but more often that not, these starts are completely uninteresting, unfortunately.
