then his right hand comes off the bar

Bet he's feeling like a right whopper.

Crashing on a climb must take some doing! Albeit they were on a slight descent for a second. Might have been dust or gravel. #shouldhaverodeagrail

If only he’d gone and beaten some amateurs at a ‘rad’ US gravel sportive, he’d have been equipped for this.

I shuddered when I heard that

I must say kirby certainly has a skill in Doing the most without doing the most

Tour de l’Avenir live on Eurosport and GCN right now, including the next VCL big thing, Tom Gloag. 25 kms to go, climbing the Glandon.

I've been to the Glandon. Quite recently, actually.

Chute! Glaog goes over the edge on the Croix de Fer descent. Quickly back up but looks bashed up.

From @hippy 's Transiberica Tw*tter:

Only one cyclists can demand market value

Who's commenting the Tour of Norway on Eurosport?

Matt Stephens and Jose been (I think)

It is not horrible you know

Unfortunately Tom Gloag has had to abandon the Tour de l’Avenir, presumably due to injuries sustained in his accident yesterday.

Didn't know the lead guy from Wetwetwet was a cyclist?
Every day is a school day.

Or the doped up ex cyclist could also sing ! Allegedly

Billy attacks!

Edit: well that was short lived.

Hint of actual teamwork from Movistar today and Mas riding really well. Losing the geriatric has clearly done wonders for them!

They were working as good with Valverde, if anything they lost a possible top ten rider to pressure Roglic and Ineos.

Still, I don't know why Lopez set up Mas attack only to chase after.

Was joking about the pensioner. Was López actually chasing or just holding station to keep himself up there in GC? If he had the legs to stay with that group he was in then might as well.

Roglic is not clean is he.....

And Bahrain had 3 riders in the top 7 today. None of them being their team leader.
You can explain everything with drugs if you want to. I'm not sure where it gets you.
