    FFS, it's racing! What do you want lanes and personality bypasses? Anyway I thought you weren't following the tour?

    Photographer Chris Auld, who took that one (as a beginner) had a great photo today when Van Aert's legs gave way on the final climb

    That's a damn good shot. The position, the lighting, really good.
