Tour De France isn't finishing in Paris in 2024, weekend in Nice with stage 21 as an ITT not a procession.

Thus it will probably be a procession, with just the GC riders and TT specialists actually trying. By the looks of the last 2 stages all the sprinters will have left for the holiday destination of their choice, with the exception of the green jersey (which will probably be Pogacar anyway).

Season 4 of El Dia Menos Pensado aka the Movistar documentary will be available on Netflix from March 27th in Spain. No word yet if it'll be available more widely at the same time.

No Tom Pidcock for Milan-San Remo. He suffered a mild concussion in his crash on the final stage of Tirreno-Adriatico so will sit out racing for a bit.

That’s a shame.

Tudor Pro Cycling really leaning into the Switzerland thing. Assos BMC DT Swiss and Fabian Cancellara all on board.

… Fernando Gaviria? :)

I remain furious about my bet on him winning MSR that time he crashed whilst the fastest sprinter in the world and in the finishing group.

And he crashed himself out after a schoolboy error in over lapping a wheel.

twice - that was his spare bike and the opposite side broke on his original one. Time for a product recall?

A nailed on third place gone in an instant.

Not as good as this though

He could probably wear those shorts tomorrow and no-one would notice.

On that subject, anyone know if EF Education SVB (the women's team) is likely to have issues with SVB's problems?

I want WVA to win purely so 1x notches up a monument.

Should fill up 1o minutes or so of commentary during the most boring race of the year.

Are those BB7s?

Bet he drops the chain whilst sprinting for the win.

But he'll be carrying so much speed from the aero gainz that it won't matter, like Usain Bolt winning with his shoelace undone!

Wont he have a front derailleur to prevent past miseries repeating themselves?
