Anyone else see the wheel skip from Caleb and remember Cab's missed chance for 5?
No. Just me?

"35 pints"

Ha!

TV exposure for sponsors .

Stevo with the most depressing after race interview :(

That Cummings interview was sad. Sad face.

Missed it, whadhe say?

"I felt shit, wanted to go home, if I don't feel better this winter I'm done"

Paraphrasing

Ah, not in a good place then.

Actually he said previous years he wanted to go home, but this year he really appreciated it. But he never got to the level, and if he doesn’t improve by the winter he won’t bother again.

After the worlds win for cav steve rang his mum saying mum mum we won the worlds .

Bernal has been the only yellow jersey that I can remember who bothered to look at the lion teddy and seem happy about it.

I actually cried at that thing with his brother

According to Italian TV, Uran flew Bernal's little brother over to join his parents to Egan's surprise. Classy move

He said he’d spoken to other sprinters and they all said keep left but he just found himself on the right.

Did they ever get their ‘Columbians on their bikes’ photo?

I guess that's also what happens if everyone else is trying to keep left

That is just wonderful

@Alan_tbt nope.

I’d be fuming and call the French ambassador to Colombia about the lack of official photography. All the new outlets are using grabs from the video cameras, in fact a lot look like smartphone photos from the live feed.

Imagine if there were four French stars in the Vuelta? Or four Italians in the tour? Four Germans in the Giro?

Millar posted up one of him and a young cavendish, a recreation of it, as they are now, on Twitter a while ago.

For anyone else that wants to see this.

Thats shocking. Surely it exists but its just not made its way to them yet?

Why is that shocking? I don’t recall that all the British riders got a photo when Wiggins won the first Tour for a Briton.

For precisely the reasons pdlouche mentions.
