Tour De Farce

Ineos out on a limb.

I’d like to see Quintana or Landa win it.

Who’s got the best chemist these days?

Jumbo Visma

Roglic will never have a better chance to win the tour with the team he has behind him. Maybe the best balanced team ever assembled, the likes of Tony Martin, Van Aert, on the flat and Kuss, Gessink, Bennett up the climbs working for him, and he has Doumolin as a superdomestique and also enough of a GC threat that if you send Tom up the road other teams will have to mark him and do the work for you. Roglic basically has to not fall off his bike and let the lads drag him around.

The first couple of stages will be carnage though, couple of hundred fellas jumping out of their skins fit as fiddles after spending 6 months on the turbo going up and down climbs on narrow roads and their pack riding skills gone to shit. There’ll be some lads hopping off the tarmac for sure.

Same here. I’d like to see Nairo do it.

Quintana I’d love to see.
Think he’s too clean, and hence to prone to a bad day.

He’s an enigmatic figure

Carnage already today.

Lethal on the descent at the moment. Sivakov in trouble , Alaphilippe stuck with a puncture.

Alaphilippe is like a 5year old out for his first cycle.

Izaguirre lucky boy there . Fucking apes

Kristoff wins. Bennett 5th or 6th

The backward ring of Kerry cycle is always on this weekend, usually a bit of craic to be had driving against them and watching the chubsters at the back blows big very hard

Funnily enough I was staying in Glenbeigh twice on the last weekend in August over the past 5 years, I was there on the way school when I got the call that I was starting my current job in a couple of days
