We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

I wonder why Thomas gets so much stick for crashing but Roglic seems to crash regularly without comment? Looks like Roglic may be out early for the second time in two Tours.0

yup. good to see you listening to sense. chapeau!andyrr said:
Finished in the group 13 seconds behind Pogacar, same time as a certain Mr. van Aert. Waaaaay out of his depth but as we know, the resident expert confirmed he won’t get past stage 8 so not long to go now.MattFalle said:
his name hasn't been mentioned anywhere by anyone because he's out of his depth.No_Ta_Doctor said:
And TP. I'm assuming his name wasn't mentioned in case it summoned the troll. Put in a decent TT, so he's clearly got some form.RichN95. said:mididoctors said:Jumbo and ineos have to take a pop at UAE here ..too good a opportunity
I can't see Ineos with Ganna, Van Baarle, Rowe and Thomas quietly following wheels
soz..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

I remember he's done it before at least one.0

Apparently Thomas came down in the same crash and had to ride the last 30k with bent rear mech.Pross said:I wonder why Thomas gets so much stick for crashing but Roglic seems to crash regularly without comment? Looks like Roglic may be out early for the second time in two Tours.

Looked a bit too young to be Opi.1

Looks like Roglic's dislocated shoulder is at the Contador broken leg end of the spectrum. I guess they're not a rarity to ski jumpers.0

Yeah, he’s only the best placed Ineos rider sat there in the top ten. Rubbish.MattFalle said:

Have EF given Bettiol a proper kicking outside the team bus yet?Warning No formatter is installed for the format0

I'm assuming UAE will be stronger on mountainous terrain because at some point you'd think a rival or rivals will get up the road and everyone will look at them to chase.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

I'm guessing him and Stuyven will be announcing a move to UAE after the Tour.No_Ta_Doctor said:Have EF given Bettiol a proper kicking outside the team bus yet?

Stuyven? Nowt wrong with his ride today. Only after the stage, Trek don't have a GC rider. Pogacar would have gifted itPross said:

And when it became clear that they weren't going to get to the breakaway he stopped working, the gap grew and the peloton almost got back to them.Twitter: @RichN950 -
I think with Stuyven he'd already committed a fair amount of energy and by the time it became nailed on they wouldn't catch the break he may as well keep working enough to get 6th.
Bettiol is less easy to explain.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0 -

Someone pointed out that Bettiol didn't reduce the gap to the break by a single second. I haven't checked myself. Sometimes people riding on the front are just getting in the way.Twitter: @RichN950 -
I don't think he was getting in the way - he certainly looked like he was drilling it.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

Daniel Oss withdraws - broken bone in his neck (!)
Will be out for a few weeks at least.0 -
Oss and Gogl out after that crash shown above.
Thomas caught in same one that finished Jack Haig' s tour.
Simon Clarke was one of the few ministers not to resign today, guess he was too busy on the cobbles!0 -
One of the best Tour stages I've ever seen. WVA saved Vingegaard's Tour. Pogacar is at a different level to everyone else in the world.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230

Any news on the spectator - the screenshots of that crash at the point of impact look even worse than the video.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0
