What happens first

An American wins TdF or Cofidis actually wins a stage?

also... what's up with Tejay van Garderan?

is he ever expected to do anything of note or is he just a helping hand for a team?

he's gonna finish in 90th place and barely got some kind of sprint points for that competition a couple days ago

and if Sam Bennett needed a last "F you, the green is my jersey now" to Sagan... Bennett wins the sprint on the Champs

Tejay is just a upper end domestique now. He gave up on leadership at the tour a couple of years ago. 2012 or 2013 when he made the podium was his peak unfortunately. Or the cynical side of me thinks the peloton figured out how to dope again and Tejay doesn't play ball. So who knows

I don't have a direct link but I was reading on Sunday on one of the British cycling sites and Doumalin was throwing some serious shade into Pog's TT ride. He said he rode the same amount of watts that won him the World's TT a few years back and could imagine a 1% difference but that he couldn't fathom the 5% he won by

I see nbcsn will have Vuelta but what about the giro?

Edit: I found Flobikes.com has it. Fubo TV has it too. Which one should I go for? Fubo TV is 60 bucks but looks like that only covers races through the end of the year. Flobikes is 150 but would be good for a year so would include many races in 2021.

No problem buddy! Finally Updated OP w/ final winners/rankings. Apologies for the delay. Didn't have access to a computer for a few days and it would be a PITA on a phone.

Don't sleep yet!
2020 UCI World Championships begin THIS Thursday!
And the Vuelta coming up as well.

Viva la Tour!

Ride Safe and Ride Fast all!

October is going to be lit. We got the Giro, Fleche Wallone, LBL, Flanders, Paris Roubaix, Gent-Wevelgem, and Amstel Gold all in a four week span. Does not get better than that

French police have opened a preliminary investigation with a suspicion of doping in a “small part” of the Arkéa-Samsic team at this year’s Tour de France, according to the French AFP news agency. 
The Marseille prosecutor's office confirmed the formal opening of the investigation to AFP on Monday, as riders and team travelled home from the three-week race, where Tadej Pogacar snatched overall victory from fellow Slovenian Primož Roglic in Saturday’s final time trial stage.  

quote:

A further update via AFP said two people have been taken into preliminary custody or “Gardes à vue” on Monday morning. According to the Le Parisien, the two were a team doctor and soigneur, adding that "100ml of saline and injection equipment" were discovered during the searches. Le Parisien also reported that Nairo Quintana and Dayer Quintana were questioned.

Well to be fair, Cofidis has been a Continental team for the last 10 years but brought on by poor management and not paying riders for squat. If Jelly Belly was a French team, they could get a wild card to ride the tour. Really not really.

So yes, an American is my answer.

Unless his crash was worse than suspected. But my guess is poor planning and covering your tracks. Like student said, rookies.
