Isn’t Dennis at the Olympics??

I just seems a weakness. Ultimately there will come a year when they don’t take him.

You’re right. Porte too. Room for a little Colombian lad?

is it not possible they'll take Dennis and Porte to the Tour despite them doing the olympics? After all, they've had riders do both before

There's only 6 days from Paris to the Tokyo road events I think. There'll be inevitable fatigue from 3 weeks so why do one if outcome is not being left in the best condition to compete at the other?

didn't realise they were that close together. Ineos seem pretty understanding about their riders olympic ambitions generally, so it would seem odd if they insisted they ride the tour. That said, they do pay their wages, and I guess it's possible they didn't expect the olympics to go ahead this year again when they started planning training/ride schedules etc at the start of the year.

Ganna a gonna with that flat?

Be interesting to see what happens. Tokyo still not 100% certain to go ahead.

Was Ganna's spare bike equallt equiped? Aerox wheels and most skis?

Much deserved after last week's disaster! He'll get a new contract soon I'd assume.

It's ok, on my behalf, I've seen the result already.

Very much enjoyed all the coverage, GCN, the Breakaway, the fashion statements, the racing.

Can’t say I got much work done for the last 3 weeks though.

work's overrated

No wonder the helmets don't fit... his head's tiny!

There should be a fine for not wearing a casquette on the podium. UCI get the finger out

Rohan Dennis reportedly leaving Ineos. That guy likes to switch up crews on the regular!
