Boulting kept saying “Double Yates”Will it be Yates or Yates?
Yates seems to be in good form, though I'm not going to pretend to be fully engaged. But y'know, winning Romandie and 2nd in Dauphine certainly isn't nothing. And I think odds were like 15:1 for podium. He's an outside pick, sure, but one which, if Pog's injury starts playing up, or something might actually deliver.
Or, y'know, maybe it's just because LRCP mentioned it in their TDF preview
Wva?
What sort of tech is that?Wout Van Aert

Forums are at war over whether Ving should have taken a pull in the finale so Van Aert could catch Lafay I dint see why the race favourite should sacrifice his chances for a guy who let’s face it hasn’t won a big race in three years.
Pete Kennaugh on the ITV aftershow mentioned the precedent of Wiggins leading out Cav whilst in yellow, but failed to point out that was in Paris with the TdF already won.Forums are at war over whether Ving should have taken a pull in the finale so Van Aert could catch Lafay I dint see why the race favourite should sacrifice his chances for a guy who let’s face it hasn’t won a big race in three years.
I was talking about Van Aert as team leader and he hasn't delivered in a Monument, World Championships or the Olympics since his one big win in March 2020 yet the guy is supposed to be a generational talent that the current TdF champion has to take risks for.I think they would argue he hasn't won because he's such a selfless worker. But it is daft... Particularly with this edition of the TDF, with UAE and Pog seemingly in good form and continually stirring the pot. It makes perfect sense for them to just match UAE, conserve Jonas and be patient... all these moves, keeping Yates in yellow etc are energy costs. Bit boring, but it's banking shit for the mountains. Think it does also make sense for Wout to go for stage wins, if only to try and push Pog into contesting, but not at Jonas' expense. Belgian press sounds like a nightmare.
fingers crossed for Cav today ( Eurosport is a little tetchy today ).
18/1 to win stage.. I stuck a couple of quid on him but I'm not expecting any returns.He's up against a strong field though... Like both Jakobsen and Philipsen too. Probably Philipsen for this stage. Cav would obviously be great though.

Who's pulling the peloton? GC or sprint teams?
Edit..stupid question. Tuned in and Tim the Tractor is at the front.
Loving this. Soon van Aert will have no toys left to throw out the pram.Phew.
