Derek Gee always sounds like he should be laying down some PHAT GROOVES in Ibiza, not pedalling a bike.

He’s got a buttery smooth pedalling style

Quite impressive how G has got tour ready. Looked no way near it in the lead up the race. Hopefully should hold on to the lead today then maybe have a crack at the Vuelta later in the year.

Yeah, he just turns up and without much drama (whilst rubber side down, anyway) gets shit done. Will be awesome if he pulls it off. We need wonky helmet Roglic to show up though…

That TT collapse was astounding to watch as he crumbled.
Almost as mad as Rasmussen's TT against Lance when he kept crashing as he was pushing so much and losing his cool.

Pleased for Cav, but still gutted for G.. was his last shot at a GT in all probability  |

It's a shame for Thomas. I would've liked to see him win it. But deserved win for Roglic.
What a top guy G is though. Casually doing a massive pull at the front in the last K's to help his buddy Cav out.

Tour de Suisse has been fun thus far. Has anybody been watching Tour de France: Unchained? After ditching my sub I sailed the seven seas and have enjoyed the few episodes I've watched, though they have used a few Drive to Survive-style editing tricks and introduced some non-existant narratives. A shame UAE didn't want to feature, because it would have been cool to see more Pogacar.

I’m really enjoying our weird little niche sport, with its hokey glue company and window company sponsorships getting the jazz hands treatment. Yes, the stories are a touch artificially inflated but it’s excellently shot and produced and a decent intro for the casuals. I’m just worried some will tune in for the full 6 hour treatment on day one of the TdF and not realise no fucker bothers with the first 150km.

First stage around Bilbao looks nicely put together though. Lumpy start and some bigger hills at the end.

Grim news. Whenever they crash near steep drops it always makes you wince, especially if they slide into a barrier too.
This one sounds especially nasty. Glad I haven't seen footage of it!

Horrible news. No updates on the 2nd guy that also crashed and had severe injuries. I assume he'll pull through and be ok in the end.

Mark Renshaw as joined Astana to lead out Cav. No wait, sorry; As a team lead out consultant.

Has he actually looked at the “train” they have to work with? 😬

Cees Bol has joined as chief lead out

Reeling in the breakaway with 50 km to go is unusual.
