Adam Yates has cracked, a few days in yellow, but it doesn't feel like it did him any good, will be cursing Julian Alaphilippe's water bottle

Mountain JERSEY  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I think after Bernol pulled out Ineos have made a clever change of strategy. They'll be happy to win a stage and get a jersey. Perhaps they should have pulled Bernol earlier but probably wanted to see if he could pull something out of the bag on one of the big stages.

Oh yeah, it's a time trial all right
[ This image is no longer available. ] Adam Yates Preview It's not a surprise that I'd prefer a time trial with climbing metres. While the time triallists will always be strong, you also have to take into account that there have been 19 days of racing - so there are a few other factors to take into account. For instance, if you're out of the general classification running and are not a time trial specialist, you're not likely to push hard on this stage, especially with the World Championships next week. Watch out to see if anyone does a bike change - the jury is still out for me. Rider to watch: Primoz Roglic (Slo/Jumbo-Visma) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

As a reminder, here are the stage winners to date
Jumbo-Visma, Sunweb, and UAE-Team Emirates have all bagged three stage wins. Astana, Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and Lotto Soudal have two each. AG2R-La Mondiale, Bora-Hansgrohe, EF Pro Cycling, and Ineos Grenadiers have one apiece. This leaves twelve teams without a stage win. Four men have won two stages, they are Soren Kragh Andersen (Sunweb), Tadej Pogacar (UAE-Team Emirates), Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal), and Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma). Could Roglic join this group today, or will Pogacar be the first three stage winner this year  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

By the way, I'm struggling to get going on mountain bike on a recently acquired set of rollers.
When I hold the bike on the rollers and hand crank the pedals, all is well. But when i sit on the bike, it doesn't want to know, at different time wishing to ride off the front roller or move back off it. I suspect that the front suspension on the bike has a part to play in all of this, any ideas | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
