what.
I'm surprised it took so long once Yates went positive.

The tour could carry on with the excuse it was only support staff and Prudhomme, not actual people in the peloton for hours I guess. I'm being generous and assuming they didnt lie about any rider positives.

Think everyone got a bit cocky after the tour went ahead with minimal cases, and now it’s come back to bite them.

The quick shuffling of personnel between the condensed one day races, worlds and the tour teams probably hasn't helped. Lots of locations, lots of interactions. Even if they were all bubbled up it's a loving big bubble at that point.

He's going to lose it on the final km as his legs fail and a GC contender bursts past him for a vital 3 second gain.

For those of you who have the dubious pleasure of being able to read Danish, Jakob Fuglsang has been :airquote:blogging:airquote: every stage of this Giro for a Danish :airquote:newspaper:airquote:. Here's today's installment https://www.bt.dk/cykling/fuglsangs-klumme-der-gik-rygter-om-at-i-dag-var-sidste-etape, with links to the previous stages on that page. It's actually fairly nuanced, but the lede reads "The dream is not over yet. I haven't tested positive for corona, and the race hasn't been cancelled" and I lolled when I read that so that's all I'll translate

Different class. Good lead out as well.

Sagan never looked like he could find a gap. Maybe he's scared of forcing his way through these days.

Jumbo with a thicc vuelta team again. Who's the team leader though?



Also in team sky news Freeman claims he had never heard of the Landis ban or knew that cycling had a history of doping problems. In a stunning coincidence he had a third computer spontaneously explode when asked for anti doping data.

They've said its Dumoulin with roglic support unless he cracks early.

This is all building to wiggins getting done.
