2019 Tour de France
-
@sparky Turning out to be the most exciting tour for ages. Any of the first six could realistically win from here, with just 40 seconds covering 2nd to 6th.
Right now, Pinot looks the strongest, but that could easily not be the case with another week of racing in the legs - and three huge mountain stages at the end.

Why is there an Asterisk by Egan Bernal?
-
Pinot is riding like he is the guy to beat, but that wind disaster might end up being the difference.
The end of the mountain stages are brilliant, just watching guys with empty tanks dropping out the back, not matter what their name.

Lance Armstrong and Hincapie pretty impressed with George after the Tourmalet
-
I know Lance isn't everyone's cup of tea, but his podcast is good during the Tour, especially because George Hincapie knows his shit.
The one after last night's stage is good, TJ van Garderen joins, and has good insight. They say shit i was thinking. So they must be right.

@Chris-B My guess, it is because he counts as a young rider.
Amazing race. Any one of the top 6 on General Classification could win this.
Stage 20, next Saturday, from Albertville to Val Thorens will decide it:
those last 3 days are fucking brutal! look at the Stage profiles! fuck absolutely all of that.

It would take me a month of Sundays to ride those three last Alps stages.

Classic Stage tonight - I fear I might have to watch it all!
Could be a late few nights

The Great George Bennett has a fall, gets on a new bike and looks a little ginger.
