Profile for tomorrow seems ideal for a break. He can’t go for every mountain stage, can he?

He can. He doesn't seem like someone who needs to save himself for Le Tour, he seems like someone who can just keep going, with ease. Has he even broken sweat yet?Profile for tomorrow seems ideal for a break. He can’t go for every mountain stage, can he?
Gianni Bugno's efforts continue to be spoken about.

He is human though, and has cracked in week 3 before. Seems pretty clear he’s not going to at this Giro, but if he wants to win in France as well he needs to ride with at least some degree of energy conservation…

Does he need to break sweat against a peloton comprising a past-it Thomas and a bunch of doms not good enough to make their team's TdF selection?

6 stage wins, won by 10 minutes. It’s pretty spectacular. And yeah, no Rog/Remco/Jonas like he’s going to face at the tour, but UAE were impressively strong considering that was essentially their “B” team supporting him.

Found it a bit dull tbh. The Navaraez win on stage 1 started things well. By the middle we knew Pog was going to win.....but didn't we know that anyway

There’s so much more to GT racing though than simply the winner. What I love is all the other drama, stories and general intrigue that goes with a 3 week race. He won 6 stages, sure, but there’s the other 15 to enjoy as well. We’ve had amazing breakaway wins, some incredible sprints and everything else that goes with bike racing. It’s great.Found it a bit dull tbh. The Navaraez win on stage 1 started things well. By the middle we knew Pog was going to win.....but didn't we know that anyway
Knowing someone's going to win can be dull (Postal, Sky/Ineos, Jumbo), but Pog doesn't just sit there and grind the opposition down. He animates things.Found it a bit dull tbh.

I was being a bit broad brush. Last stage with Milan chasing was thrilling finale.

Ah the Remco vs Roglic warm-up for the Tour.
My prediction is that Remco won't be that fit but Roglic will still wheelsuck him and someone like Ayuso will win.

Great win by Derek Gee today@The Critérium, His first in Europe. Looked the happiest man in cycling

The crash did not look especially bad, just riders losing control on wet roads. One or two gone to hospital. There will be a neutral ride to the finish. Evenepoel and Roglic appear ok.
Wonder what will happen to Le Berre who was leading the KOM and picked up many more points today before the crash.

Aye the commentators should just call him Master Gee.
I finally got round to watching the last stage of the Dauphiné last night. Rog certainly rode that close.
Remco seems happy with himself, although his odds for the GC at the Tour are very long. It basically reads as if Pog will walk it, unless a halfway fit Jonas turns up.
