Perhaps he was referring to the consistency of his stools.
No.
for sure. But it does seem as though it might have multiple meanings. He said it multiple times in the post-race interview.
“difficult” didn’t seem to fit each case.
I sense you are missing Dumpmoulin this year.
I believe this quote backs up your interpretation
"I thought it would be more of a solid day, it's never easy, but it was steady over the first few climbs," he explained."
So just me not down wid da kidz
Another sprint today. I'm hoping Jumbo Visma get their act together today and Groenewegen starts firing. I'm not really sure what happened in the last one with Van Aert at the front, Teunnisen floating and Groenewegen not making it to any wheel despite big efforts to get back in the peloton.

Your doing your best to make it sound exciting...150 miles then a sprint.Definately highlights only for me.
My thoughts exactly, I think my ride today will be a little longer, timed to get home for the sprint finish, could a break deny the sprinters ?

If Bardet has done a lot of his training above 2k, he will have forsaken some strength which may be why he got spat out yesterday. Still don't see him being up there but it may be a reason for yesterday. Not sure he has a Grand Tour victory in him.

Trying to create a bit off attention/excitement.Same as last year with Froome/Thomas who's the leader game.Im more suprised anyone doubted Thomas fitness at all.Theres nothing left to chance at Ineos.

I'd be happier with 1.46 on Martin than 1.56 on Porte. Trouble is I can't see any of those really being in contention unless there are big problems for those above them.

On a plus side of this,the longer the race goes on we might see some aggressive attacks by some of these and their teams.If you've nothing to lose it might make some good racing.
