Big day out, this, if it sticks. #insight

Anyone else catch Imlach’s kiltie loafers last night in the full-body shots? He’s bossing the pundit fashion wars rn.

My fantasy pundit team, from current ENG broadcasting, would be:

Imlach in GC.
Boardman as road captain/lead pundit.
Kelly for the mems.
Then you do need someone for the lols, so would have to pick the current joker in the pack: Mitch Docker. Blythey in reserve.
Lloydy on the green-screen/analysis.
Friebos for the VTs and rider interviews.
Hannah Walker on the stage previews.

I’d miss Orla, but Imlach is untouchable.

wva out to single handedly win the tour on a flat sprint stage

What’s the Ineos helmet colour switch about?

Leading team.

Jumbo Visma to change to Campagnolo from tomorrow.

what's wout doing? Is it just some fun or does he want to make UAE work ahead of tomorrow?

Hah. tradge

How many days was mvdp in yellow for last year? Wout trying to beat that total?

Who pulls the peloton now the yellow jersey is in the break?

what's going on?

Wout's got in the break either to give his team a day off the front, or to make UAE do some work, or to win the tour. Average speed is above 30mph

Lol

Must have got out of the correct side of bed today. Wild

EF are next closest on GC so kind of up to them I suppose. Bora seem to want to pull because they are the German Movistar.

I'm looking forward to him getting caught in the last 10km and still getting on the podium

JV need to put time into Pog while they can. I enjoy their tactics, the more elaborate the better. Everything will get boring when Pog gets his winning lead in the mountains.

How many more points does he need to get to fully win the green jersey with an unassailable lead? (assuming that he will finish ahead of Jacobsen in all mountain stages)

Van Aert needs to drop Simmonds if he wants the stage win. He’s slowing them down with his turns.

Was thinking the same, Simmons looks tired

And he's off

that was brutal

not sure but this suggests today should have been targeted by him

this is quite some ride

It is. But not clear what the goal is.

Having fun?
