^ Kleenex ready for #7

Pog looked well within himself yesterday.
I both hope he tries to win the TT but also not 🤣

He did nearly look like he was thinking about sweating

He did nearly look like he was thinking about winning the Vuelta and having a go at winning all the sprint stages in next years TdF too.

FTFM.

It’s a little disconcerting 🤣

When should I start watching today?
If I want to catch the last 10 riders of the TT for example.

https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tour-de-france-stage-21-time-trial-start-times/

The top 10 will take the course between 18:27 and 18:45 local time.

^ I think thats half 4 here but I might check in at half 3 just incase.

^ or Google time differences

Half 5 then?

Wonder what the slowest time will be today?

Would be pretty harsh to disqualify someone for drafting in the final day time trial…

90s back it seems, great job Are Sir Cav.

Bini just said 'Fuck' on live TV :-D

Reading in forrin news that Teklehaimanot has been prevented from leaving the country. Apparently he fell out with the regime, although it's not clear how.

I've only just read up about the anonymous poster Mou who was posting loads of stuff about Pog and UAE back in Feb/March that retrospectively seems to have had some germs of truth in there.

His coaching up to this season being shit ("like Movistar Jorgensen Vs VLAB Jorgenson") is ominous 😎

His TT will be unhinged

They should actually give him a lanterne rouge.
Useful for making some extra money from the post tour criteriums...

Great interview that with Geraint, what needs to change with the team for next year, everything

So who's the virtual lanterne rouge? I see Cav was nearly 2 minutes slower than Ballerini.

Carapaz with a bog standard road bike it seems?

Yup. David millar made a (somewhat glib) comment earlier in the broadcast that the team had only got his road bike polka-wrapped and he wanted to ride round in polka dots 😂

Vingo sounded like he had pedal strike off the granit kerb stone there climbing
