Connor swift was lucky to win that. Celebrating too early, the photo was v close to allegaert who was stuck in the small sprocket. Which also happened to another guy from ag2r a few KS before. Campy eps doesn't like tro bro leon.

I reckon there's something in the consistency of the tempos of those songs

If all your gravel rides are also 1.6k long steam-rolled dirt you could be onto something.

I'd go so far as to suggest brakless fixieieie would be molto bene.

I hope they were all DQd

He said an Ineos rider nearly crossed wheels with Egan in the tunnel and he got out of position

Haha that's neat.

"with race radios riders know everything going on and just do what their DS tells them"

"Hey Eggers bro, you just won your first GT stage and you didn't even know, you plonker"

"You fuckin' what mate?! Sweet. Ah fuck does that mean I have to buy the drinks tonight?"

systemic failings in INEOS (strange that they won both these stages)

Lovely having to stop at the train crossing when you are in the breakaway

He didn’t have his radio in, which is probably why he couldn’t hear what his DS was saying.

Eggers is terrible. Stop it now.

It's pronounced Eggers though. So not as bad as it sounds.

I only just started it. But now I know it's annoying... :D

Ah, interesting. Even if his radio was fine, I doubt much else was going through his head other than "ARRRRRR gotta SMASH this!"

It's Taco time!

What exactly was the dress code yesterday?

Was my first thought too.

cafe du cycliste / PNS mashup?

Wiggins missing his skinsuit days. His instagram looks like a cry for help. I'm worried for him.

Wiggins' top doesn't quite match match his shoes doesn't it.

All Bar One 6:45 on a Thursday night

Interesting intermediate sprint

Bernal being led out for a sprint was pretty funny tbh

Got to keep up with the younger girlfriend innit.

Adam Blythe looking like a skateboarder c.2015. Still quite like a coaches jacket.

Blythey looks like the estranged child being accompanied by a suspicious uncle to meet his biological mother for the first time … in All Bar One.

(No shade on Orla as I think she’s wonderful on The Breakaway – CYCLING AS YOU’VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE.)

Gaviria unhappy with Sagan's line in the sprint? Looks like some discussion and gesturing between them after the stage.

Did look like Sagan looked back after the final corner and then moved across. Don't think it affected anything though, Gaviria couldn't come round him anyway.
