As a mother of twin boys, my wife observes that they are only ever racing each other.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0

UAE win ....but Simon gets medal of courage . The old one two ...but your number two is twins"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.

Great result and Pog takes round 1 v Vingegaard.
Has there been a sibling 1-2 before? Can’t remember if the Schlecks did it.0 -
More selective than I’d expected.0

The cross boys were a disappointing non event today.
UAE are going to have to do some extra leg work, but not for Pogacar.
Yates A gets to field the press pressure. He seems to have cracking form.
All in all, I think Pogacar, with a 4 second bonus, will be well pleased."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

Disappointing the TV director didn't caption the time gap as 'Group Yates'“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!1

How did they get away? Had to go and pick my daughter up, paused the TV then when I pressed play it went to live with 5km to go. I guess that was one two man break where they weren’t going to mess around.0

Was that one of the more sedate starts to the Tour in recent years? Seemed a load more chilled than previous editions.0

No, but it was just a touch too hard for the big lads, so there was less pressure in the position fightsJimD666 said:Was that one of the more sedate starts to the Tour in recent years? Seemed a load more chilled than previous editions.

I wonder what Benoit Cosnefroy's was for losing almost as much on a course that would normally suit his skill set."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
