Currently watching stage 6 of the Tour de Suisse and it's a super, super sad one. Gino Mäder has died after crashing heavily yesterday in stage 5. Stage 6 is dedicated to him and the last 20km has been neutralised.

I was left a tad unimpressed by that. Hopefully season two will be better.

Yeah almost like they just gave some random French company money and said make a documentatry. Might watch the Movistar documentaries depending on reviews

The Movistar ones are so good. You gotta do a lot of reading unless you understand Spanish, but so good. I can't recommend enough.

Piddy still won the race.

Couldn't care less about rules or laws.

Actually 31 DQs last time I checked. Also all the drivers allowing this to happen should be banned from the sport.

We often see the "sticky bottle" on the pro tour, but that's for a few seconds.
These guys are holding on like it's a win a car competition with last one standing taking the prize.

In my time I've held onto the team car for longer than was allowed.

We had a 39/23 max in those days. We suffered.

Couple of seasons in Euro, German team. 8 or so seasons in SA, couple of different teams. I was just cannon fodder.

That makes me sad for Annemiek. She's hit up against a Demi Vollering led almost unstoppable SD Worx in her swansong.

 

[zeb]

Can't wait for the start. My money's on Pogacar or Vingegaard to take the title. My preference is Pogacar.
It's a shame Evenepoel isn't riding, and same goes for Roglic.

 

[pinball wizard]

Demi is national champ. I'm so happy for her and her border collie.
