[Manc in London]

Before last weeks crashes, what would your 1,2,3 ‘easy to predict’ have be been for this summers TDF outcome, bearing in mind Remco, Pog, Rog and Jonas were all due to compete?
I ask because I would have found that impossible to predict at all.

Jonas
Pog (riding Giro beforehand)
Rog

Cannot see Remco top 3 in TDF with alpine climbs against those three.

It’s not a Monument (gotta wait till next Sunday for that), but it’s still a classic - Amstel Gold this afternoon, just started on the telly, 80+km left.

The end of the women’s race was a hoot!

What was she doing?

A moment that will live with her forever and not in a good way.

She isn’t the first and won’t be the last when it comes to premature celebrations in cycling

Absolutely but it’s still utterly crazy to see riders do that.

Ride it to the fucking line, it’s a bunch sprint ffs.

Get in Tom!

Fabulous! I did worry watching it live he’d made “that mistake” as well, but replay shows it wasn’t quite that tight!

Brilliant Tom.

(And mvdp is human after all …)

The boy delivered.

Magnificent and at 24, we have a real worldie on our hands in him.
