Looks like an iPhone in Lachlan Morton’s rear-left pocket.

Day for the break after all

day for a snooze for us

Brad just said the riders union is a 'willy waving contest'. Some may not be happy about that...

But also addded... there was more of a protest againt riding today than supporting Kevin Reza during the Black Lives Matter movement at The Tour.

DQS still making use of their venges in the vuelta.

Picked the wrong day to take off work

Is this Keisse's chance of winning his second stage in a grand tour?

Edit: guess not.
Edit2: maybe though...

Anyone got an AliExpress link for Bennet's robocop glasses?

Holy Shit!

“Pantani would have wanted to ride this stage in full” is an actual opinion piece an adult human man has thought was a good idea

Time flies when you’re full of drugs

And then we punch the fucking moose right in the nose

Ineos TV advert on C4 is a bit Stark Industries promo video

bilbao only a minute back could be good for tao. means there's at least another rider who may stick his team on the front to make it hard tomorrow, and with kelderman looking subpar uphill...

What's this commentary on about?
Aren't we all for employee's rights and the right to work in a safe environment?

Mid teen degrees, and slightly damp? Hardly life-threatening, unless World Tour riders really are water-soluble. Half of the riders were wearing shorts. Not exactly extreme conditions. There are plenty of days when I really CBA to do my job, but I just do it anyway. I suspect the weather I rode through today was far worse than anything the Giro would've faced.

Of course if the CPA was genuinely representing the riders rather than just being a sock puppet for the UCI then a more constructive dialogue might be possible.

The gist of the discussion was not todays stage but the cumulative effect of 600km and 15000m in the 3 previous days.

Race director was so furious there was no prize money awarded and he said “those responsible will pay”

Poor Cerny probably had nothing to do with it and had already planned his new bathroom.
