I remember looking down at my computer the first time I descended the Simplon to Domodossola, and seeing 57 mph on it. Didn’t look again. 👀

Derek Gee is a bad young brother.

Gotta feel sorry for him

Strong ride from Denz. Quite a mad finish.

Nah, kitchener extractors > Apartheid

Bruno Armirail becomes the first ever clean French rider to wear the pink jersey.

If he can get it on.

Francisco Mancebo is riding in the Tour of Japan tomorrow ….. blimey !

Think it’s Froome Dogg’s birthday

Can’t believe that Movistar getting three men, including the best sprinter, into a break of twenty nine riders, then finishing 27th, 28th and 29th passed without comment on here.

Can’t believe Connor Swift winning the UK’s first UCI gravel race passed without comment on here.

Sounding like Our Cav is likely to announce his retirement tomorrow, according to the GCN commentary.

Ben's gonna be waiting for Einer in the carpark at this rate

These crowds make me nervous, great scenes though

Ben healy really does ride like nairoman of old

Great battle this.

That could have been another snoozefest once the break went, but it turned into a cracking stage. KoM tussle throughout, stage win sprint out, a little dig in the GC and Amirail staying in pink.

Ha!

What a massive arsehole JV is. Is he trying to impress Elon Musk or something?

I hate that prick. Pinot is (edit) literally about 10x as successful as he was and people like him.

Hopefully Ben Healey leaves that hipster douchebag team soon.

Now that loads of people WFH on Mondays I think they should move Grand Tour rest days to Tuesdays.

Cavendish confirms that this season will be his last one.

Crass prick going to be a crass prick.

Pinot has literally won about 10x as much

He literally hasn't. Pinot has thirty-three pro wins to Vaughters' seven.

Glad to see Armstrong and Bruyneel wade in. If anyone deserves vitriol, it's that pair of cunts.

I include days in a leader's jersey of some description as a win. I will edit my previous post.
