So who's got the most righteous set of sponsors? Likely the only thing that EF education drapac win for a while.

Are JellyBelly still going?

WordPerfect, I think

Did you not watch Paris nice?

Eurosport often chatted here... I just re-subbed on 19.99 deal but app now hangs when I load it before eventually it says I'm in wrong country. Yes i've got location on...

Anyone had & fixed this?

Woah woah woah, how have I not had or even heard of Tinkoff beer until now? Want.

Him and the dude in yellow were on the deck a long time. He was moving though so I presumed no broken bones whereas yellow guy wasn't and he was the one that flipped and faceplanted.

There were only about 15 slow-mo and zoomed-in replays of that crash during the coverage...

Agree. It’s always the riders not moving and silent who you should attend to first.

I’ve not seen any update on the other casualties, has anyone else?

What about the whole team that's thingie.. Novo Nordisk?

United Health Care?

Floris Gerts (Tarteletto-Isorex) was also involved in the crash and carried off course on a stretcher with possible injuries to his neck. The team later reported that Gerts had suffered a bruised neck, stitches above and below one eye and a very bad headache, according to Sporza. The Dutchman should leave the hospital today.

Oh yeah the diabetics. They are sponsored by a pharmaceutical company though, so unlikely to be whiter than white.

Yeah but any organisation that's making money is going to have made decisions that are questioned by someone. Most charities are sketchy so companies trying to make profits are never going to be perfect in everyone's eyes.

Segafredo?
Is Quebeka still a 'sponsor' or now just a charitable association?

True, but this pointless thought experiment has probably run its course.

Can't see past Alaphilippe for MSR. Would love to see someone random win it though. Paddy Bevin or a second tier sprinter like Nizzolo.

MVDP is already back on the bike, recon on the cobbles of Tour of Flanders.

I had wrong country issues and i contacted them and had a very responsive and helpful person fix it. My issue was i had moved from NL to UK and it hadnt noticed so might be different

Hi, new on the forum.

Alaphillippe is the man in form but would like to see Sam Bennett get a chance as he's had some solid results so far. But with Sagan riding it's doubtful

For some reason I dont fancy Sagan. which means he will probably win

He didn't look good in Tirreno Adriatico, maybe building form for the cobbles.
Looking at MSR start list plenty of names on form, outside bet on Trentin?

Dimension Data have announced their M-SR squad and there is no Cav.

Fingers crossed he comes back but Paris-Nice and now this it looks bad, the mononucleosis has done him.

He's currently training hard on the IoM.
He's looking OK.

He always looks fit.
What's his bike riding like though?

Its bad that I read IoM as Imperium of Man, isn't it?

Based on the recent discussions in relation to price gouging by the big three insulin producers - i would say NovoNordisk is on par with Ineos
