Pog is a freak of nature.

So is MVDP

Bloody love Cav.

Bloody love Cav.

Looked easy today .

 

[Super_horns]

From BBC:

“Dropped: Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma), Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), Pierre Latour (Team TotalEnergies), Dan Martin (Israel Start-Up Nation), among others”

I wonder how long the first 2 will keep going for with their injuries?

Lunatic stage (so far).

No money to waste, but I've got a feeling Rigoberto Uran may be a contender for the overall tour. Looking composed, not being dropped, been thereabouts before.

 

[Super_horns]

Dylan Teuns wins but Pogačar took a big hold of the GC.

 

[lordofthepies]

Absolutely astounding performance from Pog yesterday

 

[Super_horns]

Already looks like a battle for 2nd and 3rd.

Roglic and Van der Poel have pulled out apparently.

 

[TimeyWimey]

Bahrain are so doped up this year it is becoming a joke.

 

[Super_horns]

Pogacar at it again .

Breaks away on the last climb when his lead was threatened by Ben O’Connor who won the stage with an excellent ride .

 

[TimeyWimey]

Colbrelli 3rd. On that stage. Fuck off Bahrain.

 

[Super_horns]

Colbrelli 3rd. On that stage. Fuck off Bahrain.

That is what I thought!

He's normally a sprinter isn't he?

Speaking of sprinters - good news that Cavendish made it within the time limited.

 

[Super_horns]

Another win .

Number 33!

 

[Super_horns]

That is it !

Equals the record.

Number 34.

 

[lordofthepies]

How about that Cav then, eh?

 

[Super_horns]

Like Russian roulette for 2nd and 3rd.

Changes each day !

 

[TimeyWimey]

Daily reminder that Bahrain are the most blatant dopers in a good decade and they are giving zero fucks in showing it.

 

[Super_horns]

Pogacar is just too good.

Hopefully it's all above board.

Cav for another win tomorrow?

You were saying...

French prosecutor opens preliminary investigation into doping allegations at Bahrain Victorious

[Super_horns]

Another win for Bahrain - Victorious.

Probably get the police back investigating!

 

[TimeyWimey]

That celebration was either incredibly dumb or completely fucking stupid.

 

[Super_horns]

Interesting to hear both Cavendish and the ITV guys say there might not be the usual sprint finish as

1. The course is 700m longer so there is a bit of an uphill finish
2. Lots of teams haven't won a stage yet so they might try to stop DQS from getting another victory.

Mind you probably suit someone like Van Aert if Cav doesn't win.

 

[lordofthepies]

Wout is decent at bike riding imo

 

[TimeyWimey]

Not won anything in the velodrome tho has he?

 

[Super_horns]

Thomas doesn’t have a lot of luck does he ?

Another crash with TGH in early stage of the Olympic road race !

 

[TimeyWimey]

He’s an embarrassment.

The Eddie Eagle of cycling

 

[lordofthepies]

Delighted for Carapaz and all of Ecuador, even if he does ride for Ineos

 

[TimeyWimey]

Dutch cycling on its arse.
