Enjoy it while it lasts.
I’d have liked to have seen the Merckx era. This’ll do.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

They only really dominated in July. And Sky were often beaten in other races - there was jeopardy there.
This could be domination of any race he chooses.
On the one hand it ominous that he's racing FlandersRichN95. said:TheBigBean said:

But on the other, this is a generational talent deciding to race his bike however he wants.
It may be boring, but its mightily impressive1 -
By T-A standards, today is a very short stage. The last 30kms should be action packed, with several, short but steep climbs.

We can blame the marshalls, but there was bunting showing that was the wrong way, and they'd been past that bit before. Bramilla knew.blazing_saddles said:

My main point was about the lack of a single shot of any GC action on the final climb, thanks to the director fixating on Barguil for the whole of the final 3kms."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.1 -
I notice there has been very little interest in either of the two big (biggest?) stage races on this week. So, in the spirit of less is more.

Never been keen on Bargueil but he obviously wanted his team mate from the break to get some glory in his podium celebration.
Perhaps there is more excitement about this week's racing in Slovenia.0 -

Lucky people weren’t around in the early 60s in that case.

Belgium’s new Eddie Merckx isn’t in the same league as Slovenia’s new Eddie Merckx.
Evenepoel is king of the pro tour, but Pogacar is the king of the world tour and isn’t likely to abdicate in the foreseeable future."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

How come Bilbao escaped disqualification, given he was consistently descending with his arse on the top tube?0

If Porte had been twelve seconds faster (assuming no GC shake up tomorrow) he would have become the first rider to get on the podium of all of the seven biggest one week stage races.
He's won Paris-Nice, Catalunya, Romandie, Dauphine and Suisse and been second at Pais Vasco. Contador also did six but only came 22nd on his only Suisse entry.Twitter: @RichN950 -

Enric Mas won't start this morning, as the team don't want him to exacerbate the injuries he received in his crash yesterday.0

Eurosport coverage just started.... they've started the 5 laps .... yawn. I'll give it a miss.
Can't face all that time with Kirby wittering.“You may think that; I couldn’t possibly comment!”

Robbie McEwen is the worst person GCN could hire to work with Carlton Kirby.
Rather than add his expertise, it’s as if Eric Morecombe now has his Ernie Wise.
Not that he needed any encouragement before.

I did like the coverage of the finish showing all the groups as they came in rather than just the first one or two.0
