  1. Ouch. Not a common cycling injury.
  2. Imagine if it had been raining.
  3. Nice seeing a young rider from a country with no TdF history on a team that hasn't had much success doing well. Two down, 33 to go...34 if he wants the record outright.
  4. I just watched The Hotel New Hampshire. I knew nothing about it, but came away feeling that Wes Anderson liberally borrowed from it. It may have been the book more so than the film, but Google suggests I was correct. Who knew?
  5. Yep, it's the opposite of what we have seen the past two Tours. This isn't a team that Visma would normally have, but they didn't have much choice. It has been a brutal year for them. No Sepp is a killer for stages like today's, but they are down multiple guys that would normally be there, and the ones there aren't in top form. I'm doubtful that Vingo will pull back any time the rest of the way, but maybe he'll surprise.
  6. I agree, but I don't think there were dependable water sources between the big lake and the extraction point. They were lucky to find one for that last night. Had they known it was there, they might have gone sooner. I don't understand why they don't all make big floppy hats like Kaiela's.
  7. I really expected there to me a caiman on the line on day 37. I've always suspected some production shenanigans when it comes to that sort of thing, but I didn't see anything questionable at the end. Perhaps with eight people left, they were content to let it play out, assuming at least one would make it to extraction. I loved seeing Kaiela's summary where they reshowed pussy Cole predicting that her tap would soon follow his.
  8. I thought I was reading the wrong team's thread. I'm not accustomed to this level of competence.
  9. I have the commercial free tier of Peacock, and have to wait for the replay to enjoy it that way. Even then, Christian keeps sneaking in The Feed ads, the shit.
  10. It's way too early for me to feel optimistic about Vingo, but at least he hasn't given immediate reason to be pessimistic. I'll happily take it.
  11. Jeeze, shut up already.
  12. No. No he's not. But it is close.
  13. Great stage. I love seeing the break away survive.
  14. I do not think Vingo is sandbagging at all, and I will be surprised if he makes it to Nice. His comments during team introductions and in interviews are very telling. He's sincerely trying to temper expectations.
  15. Oooh, spelling smack. Sick burn.
  16. I was thinking more along the lines of restaurants owned by 2-time ToC winner and certified badass Manheet Chauhan, but you can spend your time there however you wish.
  17. I disagree. Kentucky wishes it had anything comparable to Nashville.
  18. I remember watching it unfold. I don't remember if it was live or tape delay, but it felt live to me. That's the day I became a cycling fan and a cyclist.
  19. This is where I am. I'm definitely not as amped as I normally would be.
  20. New York and Chicago are both due a second visit. Philly and Nashville are the strongest omissions in my opinion.
  21. You think WNBA refs are going to suddenly start calling traveling?
  22. I'll third the bummer. Next man up on a leased bike.
