That Ineos team has 0 stage wins and 18th place written all over it. What caused their fall from grace? Does the new owner not care so much about the Tour? Very much a mid tier stage race team now.
Their seven Grand Tour finishes since becoming Ineos are 1 13 2 1 3 4 2
In the last two seasons they have also won Suisse twice, Dauphine, Romandie, Catalunya and Basque Tour

If they went for stage wins only, then Ganna, Martinez, Pidcock, Van Baarle and Yates all have good possibilities. In reality, they are probably there to support a no-hope attempt at 5th on GC from someone yet to be decided.

The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.
"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. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm
Gutted for Cavendish. All those pulls this weekend and he still doesn't get Declerq's slot.
More seriously, I'm unsurprised by the decision and probably would have made it myself. By Friday though enough riders might have dropped that there'll be serious consideration for snapping up some of those kids that cycle alongside on the pavement, just to fill out the numbers - Cav might sneak in yet.

What are the covid rules for riders & teams now? - assuming they are not very sick
No rules for teams with multiple cases any more.
For riders, "the decision to potentially isolate the case shall be taken collectively by the team doctor concerned, the Covid-19 doctor for the event and the UCI medical director."
Mandatory tests two days before the race and on rest days.

Thread on the new Covid rules. "frequent antigenic tests are strongly recommended for team members (except riders)" because riders can't get Covid, obvs
Bahrain-Victorius hotel searched this morning by the Danish police, at the behest of the French authorities. Nothing found according to the team, but it's clear the French investigation think something is going on.

They might need to do it again tomorrow, though.
