Absolute peak cycling right now.

Tadej, Mads, VDP, and Remco off the front, and the Decathlon train somehow caught them. Absolute joy to watch the four in a pace line.

I enjoyed watching the 25 minute highlights package on YouTube each day.

Sepp scared the hell out of me on that ledge. By the way, the net didn’t save him. Bob Roll pointed out, and it was shown on replay, that he never touched the netting. He caught himself on the ledge before he got that far, but damn.

I am just throwing this out here as a thought and to hear the reasons that people can come up with not to call Pog someone who is doping....

Some are starting to point to him skipping the Olympics, which has stricter policies than the UCI.

I am not sure I believe he is totally clean, as nobody is. But it is a theory I have seen thrown about on YouTube more than once.


And to point out the world is right...
Movistar rode gutless
Cofidis did not win a stage

Wiggins joked that they're the reason the sprinters didn't win today's stage, because cofidis went to the front for a bit and thee gap with the front guys increased

For a tour that was decided in the first week, I think that was about as good as we could have had. Poggy with some monster performances, Del Toro, Carapaz this pas week, MVDP and Pog going after it today. Just some awesome stuff

Assume the entire peloton is on something that enhances performance that isn’t banned yet…does anything come close to the advantage that EPO provided to riders of that era?

I guess one could argue that Tadej and UAE have the best drugs, but even if they do does it come close to the fitness the riders in the 90s and early 2000s got from EPO?
