[Other Sport] Le Tour de France

Horton's halftime iceberg

Lets hope like last year he is parachuted in at the last minute, we have G, Yates and Froome all will be going for stage wins. However the Danes will be all out for the opening day wins.
I am going to miss Richard Moore on the cyling podcast and sadly (for me anyway) the velocast is no more, so hope some others step up.
Anyone got the official magazine yet, I just had a look at in the supermarket. I need to get the ever shrinking wall chart map up on the kitchen door.

KO is Fridat...
The complete west and most of central France omitted. Seemingly more climbs than ever.
Can’t wait. The scenery, the spectacle
Wish Cav was there.

Is...'La Super Planche Des Belles Filles' a different route up the usual Planche Des Belles Filles we get treated to most years now?
Or have the French also caught the fecking everything is now 'Super' bug as well?

I'm also gutted for him, but the way Jakobsen is sprinting at the moment, it's hardly surprising there's no room for Cav.
After that horror crash in Poland, I'm as pleased for Jakobsen to be back and firing on all cylinders as I am gutted for Cav.

strong and stable with me, or...
I know sentiment doesn’t exist in cycling generally, but given the potential narrative of beating Mercx record I’m a bit surprised they’ve not given him this chance to do it. In terms of sponsor coverage etc. Cav winning 1 stage is probably more press than Jakobsen winning 5 or 6.
This was my feeling too - I was surprised he was omitted because of the chance for the sponsors to be immortalised in all of the photos when he crossed the line to take that 35th stage. Part of me thinks he'll still be parachuted in at the last minute due to illness or an issue with one of Quick-Steps other riders.
His 'nationals win at the weekend was something else - all day in the break and then a winning sprint (without the usual lead out) - that is the kind of form that we have not seen in years. I know it was only the British nationals, but nevertheless it was impressive.

the Richard Moore thing hit me pretty hard actually, I had been listening obsessively to the cycling podcast after getting really into following the racing in 2020. Really really sad!

Love the look of this year. Having ridden in a lot of the alps, lived and done seasons its like my home away from home. Best bit about WFH is I can have it on in the background all day Might even dust off the Zwift setup and do a couple rides too. Allez!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a tour podcast ?
Nooooo!!! That’s mad. That’s history that could have been made being snatched from us all.
I DEMAND a referendum!

Froome is dead in the water. That last crash killed him off and the sooner he accepts this, the better.
I’ve got the mag. The price is steep but the socks are good.

The Cycling Podcast - they send journalists to follow the tour and record on site. Really excellent!
