I thought Vingegaard would be targeting the Vuelta after the Tour, but he said yesterday that he isn't riding it which surprised me.

making a huge mistake of having a 2nd child i think ?

See Wout

This seemed to be a good debunking of Mou as an insider

Anyone else a bit disappointed Merckx didn't attend Cavendish's presentation? I'm not surprised, but would've ramped the poignancy up to 11

I've heard he's not well, hence why he's not been interviewed in person about Cavendish taking their joint record.

Big up Sean Kelly for delivering my highlight of Le Tour

maybe mercx didn't show up because he finds cav as annoying as I do

You're not alone

Fair on all fronts, would've appreciated Eddy giving him backhanded praise or some "yeah but how many mountain stages" chat.

Forgot about this dude, should've got Frans the "lookalike" up on the podium instead:

All the TT helmets are ridiculous now but this isone of the worst. It’s not even interestingly bad.

I'm into most of the non-VLAB helmets, unilaterally out of the early 80s low-budget sci-fi playbook. VLAB helmets are a straight up bummer. To misquote Hank from King of the Hill, 'you're not making your time trial better, you're just making cycling worse'

This is almost "why don't the Scots just support England if they're already out" territory

The new Limar TT helmet is my fave. Cross between the giro nosecone and the tempor.

Twitter chat about Pog ditching the Olympics. Too knackered.

He might also be making a point to the Slovenian cycling federation after they didn't select Urska Zygart, his partner, for them.

I don't think there is going to be much new there. When Sky was launched there were a lot of people in management positions who had suspicious pasts, and Brailsford's naivety about that was apparent from the outset.

Brailsford's

@pastry_bot @Fox and me will move up one Strava place then, on the climb where Jens Voigt crashed going downhill.

Pogacar has no intention of tackling the Vuelta a España this year, even with the prospect of completing an unprecedented hat-trick in the three Grand Tours. “For sure it crossed my mind to do the Vuelta, people tell you to go do this or that,” Pogacar said. “But I’m trying to let it go in one ear and out the other.”

trying to let it go

Still not 100% then.
