Great ride by Ben OāConner
But look how Pogacar turned it on at the end and just blew away from everyone. Not looking like he will get caught unless something unexpected happens.
Anyone know what happened to Van der Poel?
DNF to prep for the Olympics.
Iām guessing we will hear that from a short list of other riders this week.
Leaving the tour now allows for some recovery, a small training block and then taper to the Olympic road race (or MTB for VdP).

And everyone was wondering what Cav would do at Deceuninck-Quick Step. Coming in on a sponsor only pay cheque, what a deal that was for the team!

Iām assuming the designers at Specialized are hard at work reviving the ācvndshā line of premium products. Gotta make up for slow sales for the āsaganā product line Iām guessing.

UCI needs to fine Pogacar for hair sticking out of his helmet. I suggest $10k for every centimetre.

I figure theyāre not doing anything because of the aero penalty he gets for said hair sticking out.
