I’d love to have seen them

I’d love to have seen them take the Jersey, but it wasn’t to be.  I even picked Max Poole today.  Total heart not head pick/punt.  Oops!

It currently looks as though

It currently looks as though DSM are looking to take the jersey.

All credit to them for the effort.

I must have missed that part

I just saw what happened now on GCN.

Teams should have agreed what to do before the stage begins.

Would Jumbo Visma have done the same if it wasn’t Roglic that crashed?

DSM were bullied into not

DSM were bullied into not chasing Piccolo down.  Bardet should have told Vingegaard to feck off and ride his own race.  Bardet has never led a grand tour.  Will he use the frustration today?

[MinardiM189]

What a confusing stage today.

What a confusing stage today.

Did DSM know what was going on ?

It seems somewhat unfair that

It seems somewhat unfair that the later starters have to ride in the dark !!

Stage 1 looks like a complete

Stage 1 looks like a complete lottery.  All that agonising over team!  Flippin’ flippers!

All the strongest GC riders apart from Pog.

Those Yates lads, third and fourth in the Tour and ranked 2 and 10 in the world for stage racing, aren’t riding so not sure all the strongest GC riders are there!

Tiz-cycling usually have it

Tiz-cycling usually have it all for free.

Ah, that sounds brilliant

Ah, that sounds brilliant value. I’d go for it only my mother uses my account to watch the tennis and I might get in trouble if I took that away!

Fellow cheapskates. Highlights (I’m presuming Eurosport/GCN) on Quest, 11 tomorrow, seems like 7 thereafter.

Also Discovery+ have a free seven day trial for a new users, so you could pick what you reckon could be the best seven days and get them for free… although I have to say as a subscriber for £6.99 a month (£5.99 a month if you go for a year’s subscription) for all the Grand Tours flag to flag, virtually every other cycle race of importance, loads of other sport and masses of excellent documentaries it’s definitely my best value monthly outgoing.

If you want all of the above cycling content from the same presenting team, ad-free, along with all the documentaries, but aren’t bothered about any of the other Discovery+ content, then GCN+ at just £39.95 per year is also great value.

Yes, they seem to be straying

Yes, they seem to be straying from the “Wolf Pack” mentality. Van Wilder left DSM after some kind of falling out. Hopefully he’s not burning his bridges for the sake of winning in Germany!

So funny.  I was looking for

So funny.  I was looking for him earlier as well but guessed you lot would notice and post it, so didn’t bother.  Right, so it’s all down to the other rider we all pick.  Landa to have a blinder as they are racing near where he grew up?
