if you no you cant finish on podium,come in 20 mins behind in 1st stages ,then field will let you go later in tour to grab a few stage wins and commentators will tell world what a brilliant rider you are, qintanna,nibili,yates all no chance and dotting up in stage wins,makes formulae one and wrestling look kosha,

bloke loses 21 stages and dots up on the bridle

a bit disappointing in the end. the columbian kid looks good - too good - may well dominate the tour for the next few years but it'll be really boring - getting a time cushion early in the race then conservatively defending the lead in true brailsford fashion

G riding into form for the Vuelta?
|
|
By:
was right decision by way and wot made me laugh yday
was Uran kicking off at otha riders on descend when they werent "trying" afta race had been stopped when he had behaved like that 4 3 weeks funny lot these bike riders  |
|
By:
Too early to say for G - Never seemed right these past 2 weeks but one things for sure can see some replacements
incoming to Ineos cos current team is way below their normal strength and thats wot made this years tour much more enjoyable cos they werent allowed to control off the front ala days gone by |
|
By:
Carapaz coming in next year, so just the 4 GT winners in the team. Dunno what was wrong with Kwiato & Moscon.
|
|
By:
they were terrible - brad commented that Vivianni a flat track bully was blowing em away helping Ala out ffs
Sir Dave will be binning them 2 at earliest |
|
By:
Kwiato aint become useless overnight. Think there was some sort of bug going round earlier but it maybe stayed in their system longer.
|
|
By:
Froome back on a bike - all be it on one leg - dont rule out him coming back for no5 next year cos he is a freak - wot he did last year in giro was encroyable and probs cost him victory in tdf itself - almost impossible to do 2 back to back in main tours nowadays
|
|
By:
agreed again - he was on my radar for stage wins if Ineos eva sent one up front in breakaway but neva happened once this tour - that said a few weeks later....... you know the rest
|

By:
bad accident which will take some recovering from and he'll be 35 next year. hard to imagine bernal won't win multiple tours

Bernal is extraordinary ......is it due to coming from the Andes (2,600metres) and his blood is adapted to lower oxygen levels so he excels on climbs.
Unfair advantage ? .... Should his red blood cells be reduced to the average cyclists? (Like reducing the testosterone in Casta Semenya) |

Egan Bernal became the youngest rider in 110 years to win the Tour de France when he crossed the finish line on stage 21 in Paris on Sunday evening.
With the race leader not challenged on the final stage, 22-year-old Bernal became the first Colombian winner. |
