Using the @hippy beer excuse

Didn't he get two drink driving bans as well. *Yes he did. Second time crashed a range rover into back of a car.
No hippy.

Funny how my hematocrit never cracked the 50 mark no matter how many pints I'd got through.

HAd to be worth a try though

I'm still trying. I'm not quitter! :D

Dave Brailsford'll be on the phone soon I'm sure

Last time he begged me to join Sky I think I'd got a better offer, namely 10 pints in my local. Poor Dave, just not very good at selling this whole pro cycling thing. Road racing, in France, for three weeks? That shit will never take off.

I must regretfully inform you Remco is doing white shorts

I have no problems with this.

The socks are the true crime here.

Clarification, its a white skinsuit

I love how the rider directly behind ruined his moody shot with his helmet

No rainbow stripes on the shoes? Opportunity missed...

White shorts are fine but not sure he can pull it off…

Left that sprint late!

Pog crashed out

Day ruined

Geen probleem voor mij.

Meanwhile in the big race of the day, the UCI Gravel Series race in Spain, Alejandro Valverde takes the win.

There's not too much being said about Pogacar on the broadcast, but found this tweet.

Doesn't exist apparently.

GCN commentary said he's off to hospital with a wrist injury for scans and was taken out by a crash caused by Mikkel Honoré from EF having a double puncture, which if right is interesting after Fred Wright's recent incident.

White onesie is great

The tweet must have been deleted, but it said that Honore hit a pothole and cited a commentator from the US broadcast

Possibly backs that up.
