Alaphillipe is the big winner from today in the sense that he’s the one that benefited most from it stopping when it did. He might have taken some time back on the descent but I reckon he’d have really struggled on the last climb and it would have completely wiped him out for tomorrow. I don’t think he’ll keep pace tomorrow when the other GC contenders go for it anyway, but he’ll no doubt have a better shot as a result of the early stop saving him a bit today.

I agree with that but even though i hoped for a miracle.
Bernal, though, at 23 is destined to be Team Ineos leader for years to come if he wins.
Together with Froome and Thomas they will dominate cycling although one or two of them may depart to lead another team which would be my preference as the balance between teams is what made this year's tour memorable.

Guess a test match is never over after only the first session.

I knew we would fight back but none of that nonsense against Australia, please!

Barring disaster on the final stage, which is a stroll to Paris, Egan Bernal is the new champion of "Le Tour".

It's the wrong thing to say but Froome's absence was the best thing for this tour.
He would've remained in contention after the Pyrenees, won, or extended, the lead in the time trials and been protected by 3 super domestiques in the Alps making the race a boring procession with no Alaphilippe romance and all 3 podium places filled by Ineos riders.

Wow! Would love a pair of those bad boys.

Nothing healthy about that.

Not to mention how gross they look and those two are nobodies outside the cycling world.

Yeah, because those two athletes are clearly of the unhealthy variety. LOL! I work in sports and you will be hard pressed to find many who dislike such muscular vascularity displayed by those two or James Milner. If you're an average Joe and/or sport a little dad bod or perhaps even a girl, then yeah, I get that it's gross to you. Those results are a consequence of extreme training, dedication and discipline. Hence, why they are images of top elite athletes achieving incredible feats. I get that your average person is not going to appreciate that.

jones

Yeah only an above average person like you can properly appreciate that.

Klaus

Those legs are the result of nandrolone and nothing else.

You've bitten off a bit more than you can chew here, friend, but the misogyny is not on. Bit of a rethink would do you well.

Fired up for the Ashes now. Bring it on.

Australia win the toss and bat. The three cheats are welcomed straight back in.

I hope it's gripping and not one-sided.

Interesting. I thought you were supposed to walk when you edge one behind and get caught..

Edit: Didn't matter. Gone now. Take your sandpaper with you!
