Anyone else watching? I love the Tour de France, Giro, Vuelta. Track Olympics too.
Long 40km time trial going on right now. Holy fk some of these guys are flying vs a bit of wind and a tough hill finish. I’ve done a bunch of cycling (old fkr now tho) & I’d be dead after half a k at these speeds. They’re doing almost an hour. Relentless.
It’s on Max streaming btw.
45km/hr for 55 mins. That’s 30mph for almost an hour on a push bike . Fucing insane athletes.
They’re expecting Ganna or Pogacar to knock Milesi off, Young guy Milesi looked really strong all the way tho’. We’ll see soon…
Pogi was just too strong in the Giro to hold my attention I must admit. I do watch all the big 1-day races religiously. Also just finished watching Unchained season 2 on Netflix, which I enjoyed a lot. Of course they have their narratives but it’s still great to see the teams go berserk when their riders win a stage.
Looking forward to the Tour although “unfortunately” I can only watch the first week, because I’m going on a 15-day hike in Lapland after. I think Pogi is the big fav with Vingegaard having had a big crash recently, as well as basically his whole frigging team in the past couple months.
And oh yeah, Olympic road race is gonna be epic as well.
Pog has a bit of the Merckx cannibal vibe to him right now. “Just crush em all!” I like it.
Looking forward to the Tour. It’s gonna be a good one.
And, yah, these guys just love it when anyone on the team wins a stage.
