"Happily for the Deceuninck-Quick Step rider, who made his Tour de France debut 14 years ago and is well used to riding within the time limit in mountain stages, he rolled across the line in a huge group of riders with a minute or so to spare."

+1. Smarmy doper.
Actually I'm not too fussed who's commentating, but Millar does set my teeth on edge rather.
But hey, I like Carlton Kirby, so what do I know?

I like Millar's commentary - didn't even occur to me people would find him annoying. I guess anyone commentating for hours a day might struggle for things to say everyone and again, and maybe I'd feel differently if I watched all of every stage, but I'm sure I'd find anyone annoying if I listened to them for hours a day for three weeks.

I was going to retort - ‘14 years with my wife’ - but then I remembered I don’t listen!

Miller is a smarmy silver spooned posh twunt but I don’t mind him. He does talk crap sometimes like about Sonny C been a second rate sprinter. He’s a niche climby/sprinter, can’t beat Cav & Bennet on conventional flat courses but when the terrain suits him & he’s on form he’s great & can win races.

Surely Kirby must be doping to come out with what he does, and not performance enhancing either!+1. Smarmy doper.

Ther is also footage of Rog donating a bidon (in the finish funnel?) after a VERY bad day. 👍

Did Pogacar get the call to slow down because the team thought ‘we don’t want him coming in ahead of a Bahrain rider on such a tough stage’?!! (I know he looked knackered at the end really!).
