Wilco Kelderman is saying disc brakes melted his spokes

That's a DBAD if I ever heard one

a TOWEL [does not equal] a cravat.

It might be an 'ice towel' to cool him down, or considering the altitude at the finish, a warm towel to stop him getting too cold.

Alpecin Fenix applying to be in the World Tour for 2023, saying in a brief statement "Lotto Soudal can get fucked"

Also this idea that somehow the team isn't winning on GC because the team isn't Australian enough is a puzzling one, given their only GC success was with Yates. It's not a very good podcast though, just three talking heads with varying degrees of expertise making not very insightful insights.

Nino Schurter's ride on Sunday was something incredible, reminded me of Valentino Rossi 15/20 years ago

or Valverde now?

Hot takes aside, Mitch's tache is wild.

lol. Tommy’s back on form then.

Following the thread rather than the race itself, I assumed he was delivering Sean's lunch.

King Kelly’s had fudge for lunch. No crisps today, apparently.

His diet is all over the place.

Why have none of MVDP's team mates dropped back to help him back in?

that was fucking awesome

THAT was fucking awesome

Great sprint!

Great win and teamwork

Classy reaction from Van Der Poel too.
