Who are you cheering for in le tour, and why? I don't have anyone to cheer for, because of lack of Cav. Who should I like? Geraint is a good egg, with an appealing line in slapstick with his crashes and his wardrobe malfunction. But his team always has evil sponsors and nasty management. Money rules.
In the Giro Donne I cheer for Chiara Consonni, because of this, which always renews my faith in cyling and in life generally https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=997350427265003 I also admire her team for doing such a sterling job of developing juniors, apparently in a supportive, sympathetic way, without bullying or misogyny. It's lovely to see a gaggle of them on Balsamo's wheel. https://cyclingtips.com/2022/06/valcar-travel-and-service-the-talent-factory-of-womens-cycling/
