Makes me sick to say a good word about the Bri*ish but I'm enjoying the addition of Luke Rowe on Eurosport. Good bantering with Blythe.

Wait till he uses his new catchphrase. Colombians hate it.

Ben Healy's just as Oirish as your average Ryan Mullen, your Dan Martin, etc.

It’s funny that SDWorx have decided that not winning races is better than doing a single second of work for Demi Vollering.

Remco was four seconds faster up redoute last year. Pogi is a fraud.

Sunday’s Romandie stage is loops of my local training roads. They avoid the steepest stuff but still liable to be attritional with the hill climbs, descents and sharp corners. I won’t be surprised if there’s a crash on one particular corner.

This is what I’m hoping for. If he’s going to be in the pink from like the second stage onwards the only fun to be had will be watching him show the rest of the podium how much of an alien he is.

Majka and Bjerg are fine. Its not like the other teams are taking heavyweights.

Yeah that team seems fine to me (by UAE standards). To be fair their absolute AAA team is gearing up for the Tour, and Pog's the only one who's doing both, but it's not like they're sending comedy options (except mayyybe Molano)

"Tashkent City also apparently delivered utterly dominant showings – filling out most of the spots in the top 10s across multiple disciplines – at last year’s Uzbek national championships, which have been alleged in reports across multiple media outlets to have never actually happened."

So yeah this actually really sucks for legitimate teams like Lifeplus-Wahoo and VolkerWessels.

Supposedly the men cheated in some of the actual UCI races too. The winner and third place in a 10k uphill TT stage were accused of holding on to their coach’s moto. The winner won by 2m39s.
