  • Could this be the first tour that the Lanterne Rouge is awarded by the jury to a hair cut?

    That is spectacularly awful.

    Never before has a emo haircut described Pinot's feelings this well.

    Egan Bernal gets a pass on the worst look of the day as this has come to my attention. What is that tattooed on Nico Roche's. Maybe some words from one Ireland's great poets like Seamus Heaney or WB Yeats. But no, it's lyrics to an Ed Sheeran song (feat. Andrea Bocelli)

    Thought Bennett had gone too early again there but had the strength this time. All Sunweb's work counted for nothing, ran out of men when it counted.

    Way way way too early to take it up at 3 k
    They had men left in the finale, the problem was Asgreen dumped Mørkøv and Bennet into their train.
    They could come up I guess . Not going fast enough head wind . ... Yeah I think you right .

    He came 22nd last year. I think it's very straightforward to ghost into the lower reaches of the top 25 without being seen.

    I'm confusing him with someone else then unless he was up there until the final few stages.

    Sunweb train was pretty seriously screwed up. Last man should have been Casper Pedersen but he'd been in a crash so they moved him earlier. He wasn't happy, says every time he's not last the train gets ruined. There were some serious lost wheels, and QS superb to exploit it.

    He did a lot of work for Alaphilippe, he was up there on GC but lost a bit of time on the Tourmalet and then a lot of time the day after.

    My respect for Nico Roche has decreased a lot. Ed Sheeran, really??

    Having the lyrics on your back is not that useful unless you have at least two mirrors to hand.

    Surely if you liked some lyrics enough to get them tattooed on your back, you'd know them off by heart already?
  • Every time he shows that off I hope someone goes "Ooh, well look at the shape of you" and he gets all peed off because "that's a different song, actually" and then everybody starts feeling really awkward.
