The Tour has been a disaster for Ineos Grenadier. Hopefully not an omen. WARNING.

I wanted to say 'the wheels have come off' blah blah However i am not surprised. When i saw the original team rota i felt that this was very much a changing of the guard. Frome leaves the team at the end of the season and Thomas was looking to leave the other year, and won that years TDF. How much longer will Thomas stay i don't know. Like all dominate teams they ride the crest, then have to start again and rebuild. It will be interesting to see Thomas in the Giro, will he go for it with a grin on his face to say 'you should have picked me.....' Lets wait and see.. ![]() |

G looked strong all round in the Terreno Adriatico. Loneger time trial and three week event and he might pip Yates. If both make the Giro it could be a corker. And Froome always said he loved the racing of the Vuelta more, so that will be an interesting swan song, assuming they don't parachute in Bernal. Monsieur Le Grenadier

Wow. That’s all I can say. Wow. I sensed throughout that he could do it. Sorry for Roglic. At 30 he’s now looking old compared to these young guns. I personally don’t think they pushed Pogacar hard enough, he had almost no team around him throughout the Pyrenees and Alps. Could have really hurt him. I’m wondering how good Sepp Kuss could be in TTs to make him a real GC contender and Jumbo Visma’s next hope. He was by far their strongest climber. Hard to say if his 7-minute slower TT time was fatigue, bothered or ability.

Looks like they had a “Land Rover” moment yesterday getting a water bottle in the cycle’s spokes...... Epsom Green Tdi300 County Hard Top converted into a Station Wagon

Yep. Road cyclists are hard as nails. Whether at the front or the back the sport is basically a test of suffering.
