Are Cav is also off the front. WTF!

In all my years of watching, I’ve never seen Cavendish attempt to get in a break in the high mountains. Must be a bucket list thing for him.

Practicing for when he drops down to Pro Conti or whatever it is called this week

trying to get far enough ahead that he can't be fully dropped when it goes uphill

I've heard of the Aussie phrase relating to copulating with spiders, but any idea what this means?

Hah yeah that's a funny one. He's saying they aren't here for shits and giggles.

Pro Conti or whatever it is called this week

Gravel

Come on then. Who’s going to win?

I thought it pretty self-explanatory. Unless perhaps you don't know what a centipede is, but even then, the clue is in the name. The spider fucking saying is the one that makes no sense to me.

Yates. Just to rub more salt in the wound.

"Another fucking Giro stage! FFS!"

The phrase makes it sound like "we're not here to complete a long (seemingly endless) task", which I don't think is what he means. I think he means "we're not here to mess around", so was wondering if there was something else to it.

I do love a downhill attack.

Disc brakes sounding classy there

Ha I did see that

LOL the kids are all right

Nah, there are coincidences and then there are clear patterns.

Yes, Hirt!

Jai for the stage
