work from home. pretend to work thru lunch. and leave early.

I am doing all three of these.

Davey B saying "no punches were thrown". Does seem very odd. I've seen plenty worse in the CS7 peloton.

Stay

Took me a while.

This made me laugh.
Coincidently am “working from home” on Friday, will probably find myself at rapha cafe in the afternoon, after riding to photography exhibition, to catch the action at the end of the stage.

Next year may book a couple of days off so this isn’t an issue..

I can't help wondering, is the colour coding of the 5 x microphones deliberate? If so, they should've got them in the right order at least.

Trentin's accent is still amazing

Rowe and Martin ransom video explanation will definitely get them back on the TDF just because

Well if you are going to get your main rouleurs kicked off best to do it before 3 Alpine stages I guess.

Silly stuff really.

Dutch Corner in place all night on the Galibier!... https://twitter.com/BasTietema/status/1154120933801680896

@cornelius_blackfoot Last year I quit my job (giving three months notice) and made my last day July 6th (the Friday before the Tour started). I then took a year off and my new job starts August 12th.

This took quite a bit of planning, saving up etc. but I got to watch the whole of the last two Tours and this year's Giro 😂

That's a good effort!

My boss is on holiday this week so I don't even need to pretend I'm working.

Dunno man. You don’t even mention the Vuelta. Sounds a bit snobby to me. Did you even Classics?

wtaf?

doping control Jumbo Visma just before start of the stage, for Bennett, De Plus and Kruijswijk

Haaaaa!

France, taking no chances.

How else can the french get a win ?

"The element that they can come [at any time] is enough, I hope, to deter people that they're never safe," said Bennett before the start

Seems like they're chill.

JV doping and handbaggate disqualifications... #UCIdoping

So Rowe/Martin's appeal to UCI was unsuccessful?

Ouch.

Not allowed to appeal according to this:

If that is correct it is quite possibly the maddest rule I've ever encountered. The world never ceases to amaze.

🤦‍♂️

This is quite interesting - a list of all the fines riders and DS have received so far.

Lots of urinating in public, and Team Ineos, of "cleaning up our ocean, use less plastic" fame have been doing a lot of littering.

Any streams? Live coverage doesn't start for another 2 hours in Australia.
