I thought the same thing. Great concoction or great poker face.

So Bardet crashed earlier right? I cant keep my French cyclist straight. I know the AG2R guy hit hard. I saw where EF is back in yellow hats as well.

I'm rocking a 25 mm GP 5000 in the front with a 28mm GP 5000 in the rear. Running both at 70 psi. Current weight is 140

Pog would have the maillot jaune Right now if not for getting caught up in the crosswind last week

Bernal was under pressured today and can’t keep giving time away. He might do better at altitude but I’m not sure he can gain the time he needs to endure the beating he probably is going to take on stage 20. Hard to believe little Richie was the third best climber today. Having said that, he’ll probably crash out tomorrow.

Member when a guy from a traditionally non-cycling country turned the cycling world on its ear for nearly a decade and only looked like he was in a "spot of bother" when he was playing possum? I member.

My opinion is teams have been keeping doping low key since that Mellow Johnny dude's world came tumbling down, now a least a couple are like frick it, catch us.

I have always said the pinnacle of doping was the most interesting to watch at least in my lifetime. I wish Pog hadn't lost that time in the split, if he and Rog were on roughly the same time the rest of the tour would be even more epic than I expect it will be.

and disc brakes. It's all I'm starting to see also.


While I had ridden discs for year on MTBs I was fully comfortable with calipers on the road since I don't make a habit of doing daredevil descents in rain. That said the last bike I bought was disc and won't ever buy another rim brake bike again simply because I can't stand to eat away the brake track on carbon wheels.

All doping talk aside...LA and PR both displayed class early in their cycling careers. With or without dope, they have talent. For fricks sake...the whole field is probably polluted!

I am still riding GP4000s. I didn't get along with the set of 5000s I tried. The 4000 are wider and I ride 23mm in the front (true measurement 25) and 25mm in the rear which are actually 27. The 5000s are truer to labeled size but still a bit wide. I used my last pair of 4000s last month so I have to find a new "favorite" I think I am going to try some different brands, I haven't ridden Specialized or Vittoria for a while so I may try that route.

I still don't run tubeless instead running latex inner tubes and run the front at 90 and the rear at 100 still old school conventional. I am 6' 167-170 and while I can easily get down to 155 I just can't deal with what it does to my upper body, I start getting the Froomey look and just don't care about speed as much as I did 30 years ago.

Time to get in the evening ride, I hate it is getting dark so much earlier now. I rode in the dark this morning before the Tour came on and will be riding in the dark tonight.

Bernal said he’s doing his best ever power numbers and there’s just nothing he can do. Pog and Roglic are setting absurd numbers. They rode up that climb at over 7 w/kg today. Mutant

I am of the mind 99% of the field has always been juiced. I personally have zero issues with doping in pro sports. I have a much different opinion on amateur sports but that isn't an issue here. As far as I am concerned there are no lines through any Tour victories and as much as I like Andy Schleck Contador still holds that victory in my eyes.

Ain't nobody won a Grand Tour without world class talent, doped or clean.

He got trashed by little Richie. Does JV and little Richie’s team have something that Vromme didn’t have access to before this year? They’re all playing in the same field and know the game. They are all Mutants! jmho

He said that? Do you have a link to the interview where he said that?
