Tour De France 2020

Yep. That is not good value for money.

Lanterne Rouge did a video on this, turns out in the two years prior to Aru signing that deal he had only one a single TDF stage.

‘Phil Gil’ for Gilbert?

phil gilbert is ok if you pronounce 'gilbert' in the english way

What is the english way?

according to wiki, aru's nickname is 'the knight of the four moors' which is fully fizzy approved

gilbert and not jilberrrrrr

to be honest pro cycling has been a joke and not worth bothering with since andrew talansky stopped

Betancur gets paid in churros

True, but the small bits like 500 euros to wear a Jersey etc are.

Bit racist.
Not you, the nickname.

... and he’s just naturally awesome?! Well ok then.

What is the English way?

Hanging on in quiet desperation.

Comme ca?

V good.

Regarding riders wages; the Watts Occuring podcast with Andrew Quiad goes through the wages earnt from a starting neo pro through to GC winner. It's quite interesting:

So what would be the correct English way for Roglic and Pogacar (not taking into account any Irish/Scottish/Yank commentator's pronunciations)? Just asking as a Foreigner :)

I thought the saint sagan fandom had died down, but it is going great guns on twitter.

Interestingly Robbi McEwen, thought it was a correct relegation and noted the increasingly strict application of the rules.

Rog-litch.

Pogger-char.

Pog-atcher*

Focaccia

jilberrrrrr

He doesn't really have a Belgian accent anymore, I bet he doesn't roll his own "R".

Classic comment from Robbie McEwen, considering this great article

Hark at Rob Hatch over there.

there is none. "gilbert" is also an english name with a different pronunciation to the same name french (or indeed belgian)

for foreign names, just make up your own pronunciation. anything goes as long as it conforms to my rules, which i will only explain - in an inconsistent manner - once the mistake is made.

is that understood?
