Cade Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 Rider who came steaming in late had been chasing to get back on, had pulled out from behind a car and hit the roadblock of downed riders at full tilt. Nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I really thought Mavi Garcia was going to get a bad one today when she was clipped by the team car. If the driver hadn’t had his wits about him and jumped on the brakes they would have been over the top of her. Scary crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 She had nae luck at all. So many mechanicals all day. The car was way, way too close and it was their fault that she clipped it as she drifted across the gravel. Mind you, it was a little tiny bit of karma as she did seem to have great trouble in getting bidons from the car all day long too, she must have been towed for about half the stage.

Cade Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 Dumoulin had been struggling to find form for ages and it's been clear for some time that his head and heart were no longer in the game. Retiring now is the right move and arguably a bit late. Wish him nothing but the best for the future. He was superb on his day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears it is banned as it causes drowsiness and loss of attention so could make a rider unsafe on the road. The team medics should have known not to use it as a painkiller though if it is on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecN Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 TTT is often a good spectacle to watch and seen even the best fall apart as often they have one or two TT specialists and the remainder can’t keep the pace. Missed TTT at the tour the last few years. Also keen to see some of Den Bosch on telly tomorrow. Spent some time there as a teenager.

Cade Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 TTT are far better viewing than individual TT. Especially as a way to kick off a Grand Tour.
