Roglic looking imperious

He was so polite, yet dismissive of the medics.

He knew exactly what was wrong.

Sad to see.

I wonder if he will ride in 2022 or decide to just call it a day.

Yeah that could’ve been much, much worse!

Be a bit sad to end like that though.

Movistar actually looking ‘ok’ at the mo.

:rofl: like I said in the fantasy thread, still only the first week. Plenty of time for them to implode

True. I was looking at Carthy, but he retired today!

Roglic on the rampage!

… Well. :joy:

Storer looks like he’s about 12 years old! Great ride from him again.

Breath of fresh air isn’t he & only cost 6 points :man_facepalming:

Embarrassed to just realise that my sprinter - Quin Simmons - is a nasty wee piece of work as well as a & shit sprinter :disappointed:

Oh really, in what way?

The racism bit, not for being a ginger.

I didnt know there were “emoji politics” but I would never have used a “black” emoji, it just seems incorrect to do. I now know it actually is racist.
Its really strange behaviour by the kid but whatever the thinking behind his tweet he has destroyed any hope of a career. Shame as maybe education and help is what he needs.

Simmons is an absolute twunt. Like Moscon, should not be in the World Tour.

If I acted like them I would have been sacked by my employer.

Yer a monkey is kind of obvious, although I bet the :see_no_evil::hear_no_evil::speak_no_evil: could be misconstrued even if not meant that way.
I’m going to go and sit in a dark room and avoid people just to be safe, or do triathlon :rofl:

That’s exactly what I was thinking when I saw him sans helmet. So young

Exactly, you intuitively know that it’s not right even if not aware that other may see it as racist.

A bit like :monkey: if I use it to describe my children’s behaviour, that’s OK, if used in response to someone black that’s not OK.

:eggplant: on the other hand always means something other than aubergine

You mean I can’t say I ate delicious aubergine for my tea :rofl:
