Ouch.

Martin abandoned

Hmm, Wout Van Aert to win Ventoux stage?

Alaphillipe bit excited this morning

Definitely hoping its more fun than watching Pogacar just grind everyone into pulp.

Did they show what happened to Martin? He has such shit luck at TdF.

Is Millar there to fuck it up?

Interested to see how Alan Phillip does today :)

badly

#pogwatch clocking in

Cav looks uncomfortable in that shot

Was the plan for Alaphillipe's attack to put Cav out the back so early?

I think he'll sit with Cav to beat the time cut

"The Ineos Grenadier, the new 4x4 from Sir Jim Ratcliffe that the Ineos cycling team is controversially named after, had its interior released to the world this morning...and it comes with a cyclist 'toot' button. Described as "amazing" by Toby Ecuyer, head of design at Ineos Automotive, the button is apparently there so drivers can offer a "gentle hoot" to cyclists to "make them aware that you are there"..."

@mashton does your guilt free wagon have this feature?

ARE CAV lâché #commentaire

Not a summit finish
drink

LOOOL. WTactualF.

Ecuyer said: "Often when you are approaching a cyclist, if you want to make them aware that you are there you often try to do a gentle hoot and it ends up as a full-blown claxon which scares the living daylights out of everybody. You never quite get it right and it comes out as aggressive." Right. The 'toot' is separate from the main horn and is supposedly a kinder, quieter option, although the video does not demonstrate it being used.

I prefer it when the team was owned by Murdoch tbh

Or just get a classic middle eastern dictatorship .. Saudi maybe?

Tbf I do enjoy trying to figure out friendly/unfriendly toots on big group rides

A few of these pro cyclists like a little 'toot' allegedly. Amirite?

Fairly sure the

powerful BMW petrol and diesel engines have been calibrated specifically for…off-road and on-road power and control, delivering high torque at low revs.

will suffice to let us know you’re coming.

Maybe to steal the intermediate sprint points instead of a possible colbrelli/matthews?
