Tour de France 2023 ** SPOILERS **

Anyone brave enough to predict the impact the TT will have on the difference between the top 2?

I predict Pog will take 6 seconds, putting him 4 seconds behind. I say this not because I have a clue what will happen (I don't), but because if he did, and then if they went Pog 1st ,Vingo 2nd over the bonus seconds at Courchevel they would be dead level. Which would make it all the more exciting. (I think it's 10 and 6 bonus seconds).

Pogi by more than 20 seconds...😁
Tadej Pogacar says his wrist still bothers him a bit but it's ok because "you don't pedal with the wrist".

Just watching the rest day show on ITV4 - what's with David Millar's monotone description of the highlights, did Ned nick his last rolo?

Yeah, I watch the race on Discovery+ these days but still watch the highlights show for the wee reporting bits, I don't remember it being as dour as this lol

Vino has the benefit of going last so he can measure his effort and it's uphill so I think he's got a slight advantage. But the biggest unknown is the damage the last two weeks has had in their bodies.

I was thinking during my after run shower if WVA took up triathlon he would wipe the floor with them? Or would he be too heavy to run?!!

Millar always does it like that.

I was worried for Gary on that plastic chair at that angle on the hill. Could have gone horribly wrong.

He can't swim

Very poor pundit imo. He spends hours coming up with highly convulted tactics of what may happen - and they never come close to happening.


The classic was one stage this year - where he did a section on the run in saying how straightforward the finish was - then I think there were 3-4 crashes in the last 3k.....

Think this might be his last year with itv4 tbh.

Or maybe who slips the least

I'm very curious about the possibility of bike changes. Serious tri athletes practice 'transitions'. In F1 potatoes (that's pitstops to anyone but predictive text 😁) are works of scientific training.
could it all come down to time 'between ' bikes...
