Still nicer than the Bike Exchange jersey.

Jesus couldn't they potatoshop his tan

Maybe...maybe they did

It feels almost inevitable there'll be a jakobsen pull out 3 days into the tour.

Would be funny if Jakobson got covid and Lefevre still didn’t take Cavendish.

The British internet would melt.

Senechal confirmed as Declerq's replacement by the team.

On velogames Declerq cost 4 but Senechal costs 6. Armchair DS decisions are getting tough.

Would be top lolz

Senechal much more likely to score points though

It's a "Welsh power" symbol, dark times.

The comments on Quicksteps post on the matter are gold. Top work everyone for doing fake profiles and piling on.

Aside from the obvious travesty of leaving Are CaV at home I was a bit surprised by his interview at the end of nationals where he said he hadn't had any contact from the team to tell him either way, then according to his instagram he found out about his non selection and the content of the tour squad via his social media.

Surely just like any other workplace the teams have some kind of email listserv of current riders that, at the very minimum, they can email to say something like "Team management has selected this years tour squad including the following riders, we know this will be a disappointment to some, but this email is just to give you a heads up before tomorrow's official press announcement". Keeping riders in the dark about these kind of decisions seems like poor management and internal communication - regardless of whether the riders in question had a realistic hope of riding.

i think Lefevere announced many months ago that MC was going to the Giro and FJ was going to the tour.

dark times.

dubtap cancelled!

Look I was at a perfectly innocent Zwarte Piet event with Dylan Van Baarle and I told him he was going to need more baby wipes before the Ineos photshoot but he wouldn't listen and when we turned up Rowe just went mental. It was ugly.

lol. the more you look at it

Ha ha. Best post on this forum recently.

I've put £2 on Vlasov to win GC so expect him to drop out in week 1 or get stuck behind a crash on stage 2 and lose 10 mins

What time does froome watch start ?

after he has done saying 'if you like this content, subscribe and click on the bell icon'

Should Cavendish have signed for a different team at the end of last year ?

No because he can only win on Specialized bikes. So he had no options.

There is still hope tho. Yves Lampart might have gotten the covid from Declerc

He could ride on Bora with Sam Bennett.
