Tour de France 2022 with SPOILERS

[matticus]

was he pushing it off or was he taking a "sticky pannier", it looked like the latter on the highlights show.

He'd have to carry the pannier with him to use that excuse

Really helpful thread here from GCN's Dan Lloyd about why it's not naive to believe the peleton are mainly clean. I found it really constructive.(I obviously have no idea how to embed a tweet, sorry)
" I understand that many of you were stung badly. You believed in a sport that turned out to be a lie, and you don't want to be made fools of again."

Yeah, I read that this morning too. Wise words I thought!

Lotto?
You mean Jumbo Visma?

Oh yes. Jumbo Visma. Always takes me 4 or 5 years to catch up with the new sponsor names.

Red Lotto Yellow Lotto!

Mas out with Covid.

To make matters worse for Astana away from TdF Lopez has been arrested in connection with a drug handling case.

Must be why the protesters are out again 🙄

This is more like it. Sunflower fields, pointless breakaway....

 

[Adam4868]

Back to my usual....

1...see if there's a breakaway.
2- food
3- alcohol
4- nap
5- see the last 50/60km
6-quickly tidy up before partner comes
home 😁

Just had a thought. Nightmare scenario would be positive covid test forcing withdrawal on the morning of the Champs Élysées stage. Nightmare for any rider not being able to finish the Tour. Big nightmare for the race in the case of leading riders.

Similar - no alcohol and usually turn on for the last 60km - then fall asleep and wake up with about 10km to go. Closest I got to missing the finish was waking with 200m to go 😄

Millar on about Niro Q pushing off from the motorbike, “ I never did that…. It’s basically cheating.”

Nearly as bad as doping David?

But he's right, isn't he? He could be a convicted mass murderer - it wouldn't make everything he says wrong.

He's a pretentious pr1ck,having to not listen to him makes GCNs fourty quid a year worth it alone.
Purely my own view of course.
