Now it’s getting interesting ……
I had to join a call with my new employer and when I come back to the cycling most of the Jumbo boys have gone
I’m pleasantly surprised by G’s performance in this Giro. I thought last year’s Tour was the big performance to end his career on.
It was a long stage to watch but it was genuinely a treat to watch
The absolute poker faces worn by the GC boys yesterday were in stark contrast to Pinot’s emotive shenanigans the other day. Great watch.
Why are all the stages so long?
It’s dullAF
The flat stages I agree, the mountain stages like yesterday had everything you needed to keep watching until the end
Even the first 52km ???
Downhill at 52kmh with a tailwind.
Who even watches the first hour in a stage like yesterday?
First hour can be one of the best bits as people fight to get in the break
First hour of today was fucking riveting.
As was the second hour.
And third.
And fourth.
When the fifth hour started one began to wonder …
… why is this stage not 300m long?
Just line up the sprinters and let them do their thing
Don’t worry, the England Ireland test match starts a week tomorrow, you can get your fast moving excitement there.
I said “can be”
Today was always going to be a soft break with no chance of going to the finish
But my favourite parcours today
Downhill, tailwind. Lovely
200km is my second fave distance after 100km, too
Yeah but BazBall. Going to be different. Assuming everyone isnt injured.
It’s the hope that gets you.
I’m only seeing the highlights, am I wrong to be hoping Geraint has this one nearly in the bag?
Two mountain top finishes and a mountain TT in the next 3 days, so he’s looking good, but it’s definitely not in the bag
He’s crashed once already hasn’t he?
