Can't really get excited about a Kwiatkowski victory as long as he rides for Sky, to be honest.

He's too cool for Sky. Instead he should join the team with the ugliest jersey/bike combo: Lotto Jumbo.

They should make it that you're only allowed to ride the TdF if you also ride this utter beauty of a race. You don't have to try to win, but you do have to ride the waterlogged access track next to the railroad, in between the haunted forest and the dyke

I love how completely unfazed the announcers sound. Like, I think someone just bodychecked another rider, while on a gravelly trail, so he could draft off the moto and then yell at the rider to pull over, and the announcers just chirp on and on

I've been missing some of the Tour of Poland stages. Sagan lost his yellow jersey the other day and they said he's 14 *minutes* behind the leader now? How did this happen?

I missed the one relevant stage, too. It was this one. Sagan lost 15 minutes there. Probably just a bit too alpine for him. Also:

Was visiting Denver yesterday and went to RiNo for lunch and surprise surprise here's the Colorado classic. Pretty fun to see my first race up close and personal.

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.
Looking forward to the day of reason where it's decided that all riders will start getting mandatory PED injections by official doctors under tight controls.
