We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Both grand tours having flat sprint stages on the same day is some serious bullshit

I’m not caught up on emoji usages — has the progressive half of the Internet opted to stop using the ok sign because of white power people coopting it?

White power thing was the ok sign upside down.

The ok sign being a white power symbol is some early 90's is your teenager in satanic cult hysterical poo poo.

There’s plenty of people out there using both upside down and right side up now:

I don’t know to what extent that usage affects the emoji, though.

It was a 4chan prank on the media and instead of admitting they got pranked they just started saying everyone doing the sign is a nazi

Not a bad stage to cut tbh. Nothing interesting was going to be allowed to happen given the state of the race and the profile of the course.

Apparently lotto-sudal and in particular Hansen were the instigators.

Imagine Bahrain and Ineos are super pissed because sunweb gets a better recovery day.

I meant that if you asked me to come up with a combination of emojis to signify the concept of fisting, I'd probably have settled on that.

Also, it looks like I missed an extremely eventful day of racing

Read up on the Giro stuff, and my concluson is that Anglophone cyclists are the biggest whiners on earth, especially Australians, and that anyone who mentions Adam Hansen as a "Hardman" should get beaten up by Andre Tchmil.

Ineos were apparently the biggest voices for running the whole stage, so perhaps Anglophone cyclists are a land of contrasts.
