Great ride from GPinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0

Been trying to tell you all that Jonas is the real deal.
He's far better suited to longer climbs as well.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
Pogacar to take Merckx and Cav’s stage record, before he’s ineligible for the maillot blanc."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0

Pogacar wins but run close by Jonas. Some hope for the rest of the race. Roglic right up there too.
Didn't expect G to be best of the Ineos finisher on that steep a finish. Pidcock did far better than I expected, but suppose he can bury himself if he's going home after tomorrow...0 -
That deep muscle sprint pog has is extraordinary"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 pm0

Jonas Vingegaard has years of chasing Pogacar around France to look forward to.
He should think about changing his name to Poulidor."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.1 -
That was a great ride by Thomas0
-
Bardet looked good at the giro I'm beginning to believe0
-
What was the speed of that sprint =<,5 kph0
-
R Uran is my man of the tour so far closely followed by Nairo0
-
I wondered whether Pog was happy leaving Kamna out there for the win but got forced to react when Vingergaard attacked. He looked so relaxed afterwards just chilling with his girlfriend.0

I would be amazed if Ineos took a rider to the tour that was expected just to do a week. He beat Martinez didnt he, who I would have thought that finish was ideal for?thejimmymethod said:Pogacar wins but run close by Jonas. Some hope for the rest of the race. Roglic right up there too.

The bit about Pidcock going home after stage 8 is the forecast by the great MF font of all cycling knowledge on the BR forum.5

That was my assumption. Looked happy to do enough but once Jonas attacked he reacted. The difference in apparent condition between the two after the finish line was rather marked.Pross said:I wondered whether Pog was happy leaving Kamna out there for the win but got forced to react when Vingergaard attacked.

Yeah it's a running gag now as webboo said, and I'm a shameless ****-stirrer on the Internet I've found.stage_hunter said:

Martinez and Pidcock were same time, but yeah rather thought Dani would be higher up0 -

I thought so too - was happy not gaining time but wasn't prepared to give any up.JimD666 said:

They caught him with what seemed about 10 metres to go and put 14 seconds into him. He must have been absolutely deflated.0 -
With no exaggeration, he was caught with 80 metres to go, and finished 14 seconds down.0

He was out on his feet when they caught him.kingstongraham said:With no exaggeration, he was caught with 80 metres to go, and finished 14 seconds down.

Mathematicians are studying his pedalling because they think this might be the first time a platonic square has been seen in naturePross said:

Yeah. Pidcock
Now so out of his depth that he’s 8th @1min35s.webboo said:The bit about Pidcock going home after stage 8 is the forecast by the great MF font of all cycling knowledge on the BR forum.
MF, who clearly knows very little, has a strange problem with Pidcock.Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.1 -
Pidcock is currently in the top 10 of the Tour & the MTB World Cup......(which shouldn't really be possible).All Road/ Gravel: tbcWinter: tbcMTB: tbcRoad: tbc"Look at the time...." "he's fallen like an old lady on a cruise ship..."1

Highlight day for me
I booed Kamna when he ended the hopes of the Beard Bred'ren but fair play that was a great ride and a heartbreaking ending.
Not quite sure I agree with the pundits saying that we have a race, but...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

I know this is just me, and my brain doesn't necessarily work in the way that normal people's do (or at all), but mentally switching Kirby to shouting about Lemmy Koopa makes for a much more pleasingly surreal listen if anyone else fancies trying it.

I had to look up this quote that I'd seen in the past and thought appropriate when TheMF (TheMFs? are there multiples?) appears with it's great wisdom:
"Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.”2
