  1. No kidding. I wasn’t buying his supposed enthusiasm to focus on the Giro after being left off the Tour squad. Another weird crash knocks him out of contention.
  2. Pretty surprising gaffe for a pro like Alaphilippe. Not only pipped at the line by a hard charging Roglic, he was also relegated in the sprint. Watching that live I couldn’t believe when he sat up. Hope we see see some action on the way up Etna later.
  3. I thought it was going to blow Rohan off the road earlier. Really twitchy out there. That Lopez crash was quick and bizarre, but shit can get out of hand in the blink of an eye on a TT bike.
  4. Yeah, sure. That has all the contrition of a Lance Armstrong explanation of the treatment of his doping accusers and critics.
  5. Anyone have suggestions for watching the Giro? I think I can access live feed using my VPN and it looks like there is coverage for US and Canada on Flobikes.
  6. I’m really enjoying Ratched so far and keeping seeing references to AHS. I know that show is well established, but it never made it into my rotation. Sounds like something I might like diving into. What’s the verdict on AHS? I’m guessing with so many seasons it must be worth giving a shot.
  7. Man, everyone knew he was going to try that and he timed and executed with perfection. Bravo Loulou, well deserved.
  8. Succeed or fail, that was a great move my Alaphilippe.
  9. Ha, the Shark got some tv time, there. If Nibali is old, then Valverde is eternal.
  10. Yep, and Alaphilippe and Kwiatkoski are there, too. Last lap.
  11. Tadej said the other day that it would a fairly tale ending for Slovenian cycling if Roglic won the worlds after he won the Tour. This move may be forcing the Belgians to work harder so he can set up Roclic later. Or he could use those fresh red blood cells, I mean elite time trial ability to possibly stay away. At least it’s getting interesting now.
  12. Still not a championship caliber team
  13. Okay, it’s been more than 10 minutes. Where’s the defense?
  14. Sam still the most effective runner on the offense. Hope that changes
  15. Tech made that look easy. This isn’t UTEP, fellas. You’re gonna have to tackle
  16. And that’s a conference loss. Too bad.
  17. Finally! They can’t call that one back.
  18. At double volume of the race broadcast - “These are the people of your neighborhood....”. Welcome to what those of us who watch live have been dealing with for three weeks.
  19. I guess Jerry didn’t fax those VINs over to GMAC in time.
  20. Pogacar beating Roglic in the TT by the margin he did was certainly unlikely, because even though he was able to get the best of Roglic in a couple of finish line sprints, Roglic had been able to keep it very close and not show an amount of weakness to cause concerns for his GC chances. Plus, Jumbo was riding with the kind of dominance of the old Blue Train and Sky teams of the past. Unlikely, yes, but not to the point of being too suspicious in my opinion. Pogacar had ridden the TT course many times and knew it was a place to make up time if it came to that. He rode a very smart race without having the arsenal of support that Roglic has, kept it close all the way up to the ITT, and then the perfect storm of him destroying the entire field and Roglic shitting the bed. That being said, I just assume there are always some shenanigans happening at that level of sport, especially cycling, so I guess it depends on your notion of questioning the ability to Pogacar to beat Roglic. While Roglic was the odds on favorite going into the Tour, this isn’t his first poor TT. It was the only real question. I’m sure most people figured 57 seconds would be enough, but what happened today was not out of the realm of reasonable probability. The main reason I watched live today was because of this possibility, even though I thought Roglic would do enough to comfortably keep yellow. It was surprising, but not shocking if that makes sense.
