He averaged over 30mph for 100+ miles with no hills.

And boost cuts off at 20 right? 🤣

You couldn’t keep up with MVDP on a dirt bike.

🫣 Caught an insta reel of today's excitement walking back from my lunch break and had to go watch extended highlights. Things are heating up! Don't want to post any spoilers.

Anyone else stoked for Quinn Simmons?

The Tourmalet is breaking up the peloton. Evenepoel abandon the tour.

It always amazes me how with 2K to the top of the Tourmatet they are able to put their jackets on while keeping pace in the peloton on the climb.
Most of us idiots would’ve hit the deck if we tried that!

I avoid this thread due to potential spoilers and the news feeds don't help either. Let's see who steps up to challenge Tadej in the mountains, looks like he's mentally smashing the competition.

So true.

They were going down the Tourmalet at 45 in the rain, when they usually at 60. I wouldn't have any brake pads left crazy.

Some of those descents are really horrifying when you realize they are doing it on 25mm tires.

That’s what he gets for running bar tape and bottle cages like a bitch.

That's where you can tell the ones that started riding as kids, especially MTB.
Conversely, if you move over from ski jumping at 23 you keep falling.

So glad Remco dropped out. Hopefully he gets fired so we can get our benefits back.
