I just figure they're all working so hard they aren't really thinking clearly, at least for the thing where they celebrate a lap early. Getting beat on the line because you've thrown your hands up is hard to explain but always funny so I'm in favor of it.

Apparently a barrier blew in to the road and took a couple guys out. Italians inventing new ways to injure riders. https://twitter.com/laflammerouge16/status/1313479635112468482 https://twitter.com/ZabuBradoKTM/status/1313483828342722562

Decided not to ride today because the weather is miserable, watching the Vuelta making me feel like I'm out in it anyway.

Feels Villeneuve posted:bianchi revealed the climbing/lightweight frame that presumably GreenEdge will be using next year, and it's carbon black with "stealth" black decals instead of celeste. i am going to turn into the joker Jumbo used these this year didn’t they? Something about not having the layer of pigmented paint saves a couple dozen grams. The most marginal of gains

The actual rule is apparently: "The rider shall normally assume a sitting position on the bicycle. This position requires that the only points of support are the following: the feet on the pedals, the hands on the handlebars and the seat on the saddle." Seems completely objective and I’m sure will never lead to controversy.

Weird sprint. Like half the field sat up before the line. Sagan and Morkov did for sure

Fun stage. It's incredible how deep MDVP can go. I'm almost worried for the guy, I halfway expect him to just expire leaning on the barricade after he finishes a race.

Pog is probably doped to the gills but so is every other professional athlete and at least he's fun to watch. The years of a final selection of 10 guys riding up a mountain with 4 sky riders on the front neutralizing everything were just incredibly boring and I'll take this any day.

Cav thought he could win without Morkov dragging him to the line and then hitting the brakes to let him by.

Looked like Remco was trying to get away on the final climb but Colbrelli was able to hang on. Once that happened he was basically out of options if we wanted on the podium

I mean he won the Grio this year and finished top 10 in the Vuelta, I don't think it's fair to say he's fading just yet. If he can get his back right there's plenty of time to chase some more wins given that he's only 24. Not sure ISN is the place to do it but ![]() Maybe he just misses Froomey
