Believe the LR thread is customarily banned from here on the basis that it's bad enough having to read it once?

Traditionally, the PotT thread should be for spoiler thread posts. Things that get us through the long sprint stages with no crosswinds, for example.Warning No formatter is installed for the format1 -

Not that this has anything to do with anything, but there is a post in this forum that is the greatest ever. I don't remember who made it, but it was regarding David Millar and 1x setups; it was the one stating that Millar took that non installed front dereileur (when the chain skipped and cost him the win) and put it on a shelf to remind himself to never do that again.
It's so "inside baseball (cycling)", but so genius. Thought I'd give it props here again.
I tried to find a search function to link to it, but haven't found it.
It is the greatest post ever.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230 -

FRom the Unpopular opinions thread 3rd Sept
Stage 7 the following day proves he is correctPross said:The best Tour stages in recent years have been flat 'sprinters' stages where there has been a cross wind and the organisers should have fewer mountain stages to concentrate on riding around the coastal areas.

Not a post of the Tour, but this thread seemed like a good place to mention how much I've enjoyed all of the chat this first week. It genuinely adds to my appreciation of what's going on to have you lot all chipping in as well as the TV commentary, especially when you disagree with it or add further context to it.6

Egan Bernal gets a pass on the worst look of the day as this has come to my attention. What is that tattooed on Nico Roche's. Maybe some words from one Ireland's great poets like Seamus Heaney or WB Yeats. But no, it's lyrics to an Ed Sheeran song (feat. Andrea Bocelli)

It's not my invention btw been knocking round the bunch at the tour"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.

Not a post on the forum, but this is the Twitter thread of the Tour and demands a wider audience. It was even retweeted by one of it's subjects with the comment 'All seem pretty accurate'

I know - it really was awful.david37 said:Absolutely boring stage. they didnt even race at the end.
Rubbish.
If it wasn’t for Hirschi beating Carapaz for the KOM points then crashing and now potentially losing his polka dot jersey claim, De Gendt being dropped by proper players for a change, Bilbao being in the break with then Landa attacking, not coming to much except Uran and Yates distanced, the yellow jersey group being smashed to pieces, Porte then puncturing but then Jumbo’s WVA and Dumoulin helping the chase back, Uran and Yates losing time and now all the top 5 GC guys (except Rog, maybe) looking a bit iffy for the top 10 placings, along with the Green and Polka Dot jerseys still being in the balance... now that awful lucky chancer Kwiatkowski who’s never won much flouncing in to the finish with that other Ineos Ecuadorean fancyman who’s minced his way into Polka dot... these massive whoopsies need to race with proper teams who make them grimace and zigzag across the road for their top 30 places rather than finishing 1st or 2nd and looking like they’re enjoying it. What sort of stupid message does that send to any young French rider thinking of coming twelfth at the Tour?
Absolute rubbish. I’m not going to watch a moment more until tomorrow.3 -

Could do with an unroll though to make it a bit more readable...0
