Tazio Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) A messy last few km today but happy that Jakobsen got the stage after all the problems he’s had. And a couple of things. I just can’t take to Van Aert somehow. Supremely talented rider but there’s something about him. Also despite following pro cycling for years I discovered today that there are no rider number that end in a 0 in the TdF.

Tazio Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 14 hours ago, SecN said: Why would their be? I’d just never realised. Every team must be assigned a block of numbers with the first rider having the 1 at the end of their number and 8 riders per team so there won’t be any numbers ending in 9 either. And Van Aert hits the deck today. Seems ok though he has been having a good feel of his left arm and shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 Van Aert very, very nearly down again after his team car slammed on the brakes. I'm pretty sure he clipped the wing mirror as he bumped his way past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a great clip on YouTube of the last few km leading to the finish line through a busy town. Shocking how much shouting and direct hands on contact between riders there is. And mildly terrifying. I don’t think people who don’t either regularly watch cycling or ride a bike realise the skill in riding that close at full tilt.
