Shout out to Pauline Ferrand Prevot for that insanely quick remount after crashing - (and ultimately finishing 3rd).

Good field in the P-N today.
Almeida, Buitrago, Skelmose, O'Connor etc...
... plus Jonas Vingegaard looking ti orive he's back somewhere near hus best and as good as Pog.

Jorgenson referred to his hyper domestique in an interview, so are you sure Vingegaard is racing for the win. I guess the inddvidually-timed team time trial might reveal who's in charge and who's bluffing.

A fabulous race! We went out to ride our bikes just after the crash and I couldn’t believe the result when I checked mid-ride! He is incredible.

Just happened to watch the crash in slow-mo. Looks like he banged his head on the road!

Why did no-one tell me about this??? https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/ag2r-citroen-set-to-wear-denim-shorts-at-strade-bianche/

Did anyone see the shorts in the race? I can't find any good pics :-/

That was a phenomenal ride from her! There’s been some media disappointment about her return so far but I think she’s timed it really well!

I was impressed by Milan's showing in the Tirreno ITT yesterday. I thought he was just an all out sprinter. He out TT'd a lot of GC type guys by quite a way.

I guess that just shows how much I know.
