Bonkers

What a shit sprint. Caleb fucked it again.

CK:

On the throw!

Everyone else: that was at least 4 bike lengths.

Did WVA just cool that out? Nah, don’t need to.

His 1000 euro prize for coming last is in the bag

Pogacer jumps at the start of the last lap - what a fantastic racer
Almost anyone else - what a waste of energy with no chance of a win

Orla interviews Geschke!

Have the itv crew been in the bar for a long lunch or is something wrong with their ear piece? Very slurred speech

This has been great for Pog.

I miss Sags. Great stuff.

Loving these interviews.

Wardrobe insane again. Desperately needs a dress code.

No yellow shorts. Too cool to contest the sprint.

Lord. Yumbo don’t need no PR.

Wardrobe insane again. Desperately needs a dress code.

Blythe: Golf Club
Orla: Ballroom, Tango
Brad: ?
Robbie: BBQ

Brad’s trousers(?) are amazing. He looks like steptoe. I’m actually coming around to them.

Assuming he proves to be legit over time, I think he is fabulous for the sport.

Talented, exciting, good in interviews, funny, liked by fans and colleagues alike.

The fact that he was beaten into second this year makes the next few years even more interesting.

Shrink to fit lower leg jeans by look of it. His top is straight out of a 1980's Persil ad.

This was a great Tour.

And if Bernal comes back to the top we have some great characters evolving for the next few years. Haven’t quite connected with Vingo yet but I’m liking the tiny-dad vibes.

Yeah, need some pure climbers in the mix.

Pidcock and Evenepoel might get competitive too.

Yeah Lefèvre really vindicated this year.

He'll be getting passed insider info by @taogeogheganhart I reckon.

Highlight of the tour?

Bringing issues that matter into the public eye.

I'm sold on fist bumps, shaking sweaty hands is grim. Tapping Elbows was just weird.
