Maybe Philipsen is wishing he had more friends.

Is philipsens green jersey TdF compliant? When did the green jersey become dark green as opposed to bright green?

Skoda sponsors it and they changed their brand colours, I think

come on man there is so much podcast discourse on this

tell him @dubtap @andyp

even will melling is a podcast guy now!

Yes - this. They did it annoyingly without announcement so the Bora switchout kit now clashes with the green jersey, so they were only able to wear it on the first stage (before there was a green jersey wearer).

Lol. I’ve been busy. I’ve not even managed to listen to the move once this year.

Has Cav got his stage yet?

Come on Mohorich, you were, like, 10 cm ahead of the other guy. Get over it.

That interview with Mohoric by Seb Piquet was one of the best post stage interviews I've ever witnessed. He (Mohoric) was honest, humble, erudite and generous to both Asgreen and O'Connor. Fantastic stuff.

^ Absolutely. Rumble in the Jura.

Hard to watch that with a dry eye!

Just watched it. Wow.

The depth of thought after a furious race is outstanding.

What a thoroughly enjoyable TDF.

It was more subtle in person

Did they say 5th fastest stage ever?

I didn’t catch it if they did. Absolutely blistering.

I know this tour has been exceptional in terms of entertainment but these last two, third week ‘sprint’ days have been amazing. There’s a palpable sense of drama and hunger for glory.

Yes they did indeed.

And thinking back to the first stages in the Basque Country, it has been balls out all the way. Great for the viewers and I’m sure the next Netflix will be much better then the first.

Almost makes up for us probably never hearing On a Ragga Tip again.

Pidcock for a day out in the break today, or wishful thinking?

As a Camapanerts fan, this week has been brilliant.

I'm going to lobby GCN for a documentary on him, Jan Wilhelm van Schip and Taco van der Hoorn.

English for cyclists, lesson 1.
