Probably for the best"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

Just saw Morkov's interview on ITV4. He says he wasn't feeling great after yesterday but basically he couldn't cope with the heat.Scott Foil RC

Do we think Primoz will ever win the TdF or be more like Nairo with Giro/Vuelta wins?0

He's 32, the oldest Tour winner was 36, 100 years ago. It's possible it could happen with a Jumbo Visma double captain attack, but I think only Vingegaard can actually match Pog in the mountainsWarning No formatter is installed for the format0 -

Avondetappe calling out Sagan for some dodgy direction changes mid sprint.
Jakobsen (the guest) calling him out for being too slow and too desperate to surf the wheels deep in the sprint.
Jakobsen “Mads and Wout like to start early so as a pure sprinter I want their wheel. I don’t want Sagan’s as he can’t keep up”
He also explains how Mads and Wout are “complete athletes” and they are sprinting so well because they find that final KM so much easier.
“I’m already hurting by the time I sprint but I can squeeze a fast sprint out - not with those guys”0 -
I know the Morkov thing is the type of legendary ride cycling fans love but was there really any sense in him putting himself through that / others putting him through that when it looked a dead cert with over 100km to go that he wasn't going to make the cut. It really doesn't feel like looking after rider welfare.1

I've never seen a sprint between actually sprinters where they have looked that knackered. Almost crashed on the line due to just being unable to keep their bikes straight.0

Jakobsen also thinks ineos are “sitting in the draft” till the final week and expects them to kick off in the Pyrenees1

Philipsen seemed the straightest of the three to be fair. His 4th cat dive bomb attempt going into the final corner was a bit risky though.rick_chasey said:0 -

Mads P was asked about the sprint on DK TV, said he wanted to close Philipsen off on the left and make him come round, but wasn't going to put him into the barrier. Also said if he'd done that he'd only have finished second.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0

They were all there... UAE and JUMBO may still be getting over the galibier. Ineos still have 3 in top ten .,.. pidcock attacks on the downhill somewhere. ,.. kuss needs to come good in the thirdrick_chasey said:Jakobsen also thinks ineos are “sitting in the draft” till the final week and expects them to kick off in the Pyrenees

I don't think Geraint or Yates have got an attack in them. All they've managed so far is to limit their losses when it kicks off and hope the other two slow down after knocking lumps out of each other.
Maybe the youngsters will run themselves out but I don't see it. Then again I didn't see Pog blowing up the other day either.0 -

There's a possibility that JV and Pogacar obsess about each other too much that they neglect or underappreciate moves by Ineos (or Bardet) before it is too late. I keep in mind the 2014 Dauphine when Contador in yellow spent so much time watching a crash hampered Froome, that he didn't pay any attention to a bunch of riders up the road until it was too late, and Talansky ended up winning.Twitter: @RichN950 -
