https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/aug/21/tour-de-france-teams-will-be-expelled-if-two-members-test-positive-for-covid-cycling 2 suspected cases of covid = expulsion from the tour. Plan is the whole race will try and remain in a bubble for 3 weeks. Shame we're not going to see anyone trying to cough on froome up a climb.

Adam is the slow Yates, really can't see him doing much at Ineos

He's gonna super domestique, but tbh we're going to see that alot the coming years because the money's leaving.

Eurosport only showed the Spanish and French women's races, and sadly didn't show the decisive points of the Spanish one. The French race is AMAZING, though. The tactics required to overhaul two super strong teams in FDJ and Arkea as a solo rider - amazing.

Which I guess is understandable, but... well, excessive caution is the name of the game right now, even if that doesn’t play nice with 3-week tours. Quite how the Tour’s gonna avoid descending into a huge mess I’ve no idea

What's everyone's predictions for the tour then? I'm going Yellow - Pinot Green - WvA Polka - Pogacar White - Pogacar Bernal withdraws with a back issue. Roglic and Carapaz are on the podium.

time for our yearly reminder there is no good reason the women shouldn't have their own proper tour ^^I think it's probably going to be Roglic after eggy drops out Skarsnik fucked around with this message at 10:30 on Aug 29, 2020 |

It's now slowed down but cutting out constantly and the French commentary is occasionally bleeding through.

Jens Voigt (who's commentating for German Eurosport) just called the entire race, and I think he's right. That's our breakaway for the day. e: now he misread the clock counting up since the start of the race as the gap clock. To be fair, though, I don't know why they're showing that thing
