Conspiracy theory time. Did van aert gift it to laporte? I can't believe he could close like that and not have the legs to take it to the line after laporte was on his own for 20km

"Bice racer disgracefully races his bike". Nah dude, team orders stopping a grand tour winning leader from racing would have been the disrespectful (not to mention boring for fans of racing) thing.

The only slightly shady thing for me is lying in interview about intentions. You're all clearly riding as if you want to win, fess up.

Bleary eyed UK fans unite. Easily worth staying up for in the end!

"His tank was empty". This is understandable, I've seen tonnes of leaders blow up towards the end of a grand tour. But none of them immediately bounced back to dominating the very next day.

This wasn't him missing the last few % or whatever, he got dropped from a 50+ peloton on the first climb, he had nothing yesterday. Can you remember any comeback ride remotely comparable?

I know I'm super late on this one but "love is getting more comfortable" is 100% a tagine from a personal lubricant advert.

I have kelce in fantasy and named my team after a Musgrave pun. The little packer on my shoulder: "you know what to do, someone has to catch passes from future hall of famer Jordan love"

Extraordinary. What the hell happened yesterday that he could come back from like that?

It's not even just the top three. Any split, on ramp or in wind, they have like half of the front group. This team is OP, it's boring at this point because it takes all tension out of the race. The only excitement left is whether roglic can keen his temper being the 3rd rider on his team.

The team strength of jumbo is crazy though. I think unless Jonas has worse legs than is apparent and sepp really flunks the TT it's their race to lose. It's just not sustainable for remco to pace up longer climbs, he'll get crushed by rolling attacks, and the others don't look to have the form of JV's leaders.

Who said anything about us being alone in reasoning? Sheep not driving cars and chickens not keeping diaries have better factual basis than the west being destined for white men, so I don't see the analogy except that they both involve exploitation.

I dunno I'm exposed to way more people who do cutsie voices for their "fur babies" than people willing to argue that our murderous, destructive species is exclusively superior. But then I guess that's because I spend more time with IRL friends than on vegan forums, which I imagine attract edgelords looking to troll.

That seems like the consensus view. I'm rooting for a ~50 sack season. That would be super fun.
