I've just read that Teejay van Garderen is in the race!
He used to be a contender and now he's the invisible man

Thought something similar when I heard Viviani the other day..

The commentators used to always mention him, back in the day. We got regular updates on Teejay, it became a bit of a running joke for me and my Dad, the disproportionate coverage he got. But this year I've heard his name once

Bit of a dilemma for Pogacar, if he saves himself for the climb and mountain points he risks his GC position, if he goes full gas from the start Bernel will probably take the points for the climb and secure the polka dot jumper as he'll be able to save his effort for it.

Oops! Obviously meant the other south American Ineos rider that's actually still in the race.

Im betting that Carapaz will take it easy and full gas up that climb.

Im betting that Carapaz will take it easy and full gas up that climb.

Wow - is this the day of the much talked about TT. Is that really 3 weeks?!

(Good real-life Covid experiment. Infection from airborne outside very unlikely!)
