    Apropos of nothing, there's been a distinct lack of cows on this Tour so far.

    Why do gifs work for you but not for me? Tried one the other day without any luck.

    TGH setting off now. Is he going to try and make a significant move back up the leaderboard or is he now playing the domestique role and keeping his powder dry?

    And Bernie eisel has just said that he’s been told that he’s taking it easier today

    Did that with no luck. Ho hum (good news for the rest of you though - overuse them at the best of times).

    Bissegger has a slip - that rain's starting to affect the course.

    Even if they don't, this could put some unexpectedly big gaps in if people ride with varying levels of caution.

    That counts

    Is the cut off 25% for ITTs? Would put the limit at 41'15 or so currently, so not really a threat to anyone at the moment.

    One was an impulsive reaction and one was a premeditated moment of idiocy.

    Looks like it's a bit drier now.
    Cattaneo was 11" up on Bjerg at 1st, 3" down at 2nd, the first rider to threaten since the rain

    You think she intended to shoulder barge Tony Martin?

    Given the driver was facing forward and could see what danger he was heading into when he decided to overtake unsafely, whereas the muppet with the sign was blissfully unaware of the looming disaster until it suddenly hit her, you might need to specify which one you think is which...

    Seems a tad unfair given what she did is hardly unique. Still if it sends a message out and the charge isn't too severe I suppose it's doing something.

    I know it's not as fast but what about all the idiot fans in the mountains? They will need a coach to arrest everybody.

    There's some fun rivalry between the 11 Danes, half of them have very decent TT form

    I feel a bit too but she fled the scene .... They need to send a message I guess . This sort of thing is never consistent . Selfie 🤳 or camera gurnning is a specific problem that can be addressed with education.
