Adam Yates perched so far forward on the saddle. Looks unpleasant.
Also all these shots of the team presentations and rider interviews with nobody wearing masks - surreal.

Bugger .... really enjoyed Jose Been on commentary yesterday at Haut Var , and was hoping she was the replacement for Kirby ... but .. alas no ...
Be great if he is just banished to these crap races though ...

Hope they are not too strict with the arms on bars or Gaviria is going to be in trouble.

It would be textbook UCI behaviour to introduce a rule and then not make it clear how and when it will be enforced.

I thought I read it wasn’t going to be enforced until 1 April, so there’s still a chance that the whole thing is an elaborate gag.

Some sprint by MVDP. Young David Dekker (second) also seems very OK in his first race for Jumbo

Haha, pull the other one, MVDP winning something? Oh, it's not the first of April yet.

Jose Been is superb on commentary on GCN. Pleeeease let this be the year Kirby retires or gets found with some troubling stuff on his hard drive.

Fdj working themselves over.

I have no clue what's going on anymore, is Mollema going to win the GC?

Neither does Matt Stephens.

Amazing that he can speak for this interview so soon after that finish.

Jose Been is superb on commentary on GCN

She’s very good. Has a real passion for cycling. Met her a couple of times when she did the coverage for races in Luxembourg; nice person, super passionate.

Those that have GCN+, is it good? £20 seems like a good offer.

The web version is a bit shonky but the coverage is great (I got it in August and watched through the end of the season) and I'm really enjoying the shows they're now putting out too.

Totally worth 20 notes considering the cost of Netflix/Sky/Pornhub.

I’d be primarily using the web version. What do you mean by shonky?

In my experience, you don't always get the coverage first go, so have to reload the page. Occasionally you have to logout and login again to get things to work. But that's it, for £20 a year it's a steal.

Yeah, some of the documentaries look decent. Ok thanks, good to know.

Today’s racing has made it feel very much worth the money.

Thanks. I’m breaking up with Eurosport with a heavy heart.

Just a bit buggy and slow is all. Works, but quirky.

Great result for Ben Tullet at Tour du Var. And that's without a season of CX in his legs.

Covid messing up Alpecin-Fenix' plans in UAE Tour :-(

Oh no. MVDP locked in a desert hotel while Van Aert has a free run at the classics.

Only if he was a contact? Real shame for the race though
