Did the deadline move?….I

Did the deadline move?….I was sure it was down as an 11.00 a.m deadline UK time yesterday… or was I mistaken?

Great stage today. We are in for a treat this week if that’s the stage for the punchers with the climbers …pffft…

For me it’s Roglic plus seven

For me it’s Roglic plus seven others, he could win any or every stage this week.  But then so could Alaphillippe.  Will be interesting to see how the weather affects riders, hot and sometimes wet forecast.

And now Bonifazio has

And now Bonifazio has abandoned …… so my anorak wearing was totally unnecessary!

It definitely is very

It definitely is very exciting – the Dauphiné is always one of my favourite races and this year they have distilled it down to just the most exciting stages ( with apologies to the sprinters & TTers!). The TV pictures come from the TdF team so it always looks beautiful as well. I will however have to don my anorak briefly, in spite of the heatwave, to point out that it is Niccoló Bonifazio riding ( and briefly participating in the break before reality hit him) and not Leonardo who is listed as riding in the game. That said, I would be amazed if anybody picked a Bonifazio of any description for this race! Good luck everyone!

There goes Jan Hirt for me

There goes Jan Hirt for me already. Shame, he was bringing in some decent form to this race.

And to you Tony!

And to you Tony!

Definitely glad to have cycling back and productivity still working from home has taken a dive. Scotland weather not too bad, great for cycling at the moment.

Hoping the peloton stays well clear of any nonsense with an uptick in cases on mainland Europe so we can get a semi full calendar until the end of the season!

Hi guys, great that cycling

Hi guys, great that cycling is back, and with a load of stars and lots of SFs.

I’m surprised that there isn’t more forum chatter, I would have thought this would be the ticket to cure Covid blues. But I suppose you are all out at the beach in England.

It’s mid winter in Aussie and tomorrow’s temp is expected to be 26 degrees. Nice.

We have escaped the worst here, due to quick border lockdown, but it could break out again anytime.

Hope you are all safe and well,

Cheers

Tony

There are no flat stages.

There are no flat stages. Stage 1 is less steep and long than the others. 5 days of one hell of a mountain scrap incoming, delicious.
