I went out to grab my lunch and people on the street were saying things like "Ineos Merda" and "Dick Crapass" at each other.

I'm still waiting for a TTT in the middle of the 3rd week of a grand tour, day before 2-3 mountain stages in a row.

I would love to see a 40km TTT in week 2. Really shake things up and legit one of the only ways to stop Pogacar imo.

that reminds me that no random Italian conti rider got tossed from the Giro for taking something that's been testable since like 2004 like CERA or some poo poo, is it even a Giro without that

we didn't even have a random Italian guy doing a Sella/Rasmussen impersonation (Covi doesn't count)

We did however get the ludicrous Portuguese team arrest for balance.

Lmao absolutely disgusting from Jumbo. 4 riders left at the front of the Dauphine. and 3 of them are theirs.

And now they've dropped O'Connor and its just Roglic and Vingegaard.

He needs a few lackeys, just so he doesn't have to collect his own bottles. It would demean the whole thing if he rode without any minions.

Hes got a very good team as well tbf.

Ineos are probably the next step down if Thomas doesn't go full binman as well.

I have a soft spot for G but I cannot possibly imagine this Ineos team keeping up with any of the favorites when things go nuclear. If anything they should just give leadership to Dani Martinez and let him get experience.

I think Martinez is their leader, but both him and Thomas can have really shocking days in stage races so I imagine they'll play for both of them.

Fortunately there appears to still be a pathway for the cycling team doctors - who are renowned throughout the medical field for their ethics, integrity, and commitment to always putting the health of their riders first - to pull COVID-positive riders from the race so they don't infect everyone else.

I had to leave before we got to the bridge and I saw a report that Pogacar lost 3 minutes due to a crash and a puncture and I was briefly excited that the race might be exciting until I saw it was within 3km so counted for nothing.
