Boassen Haggen will win today. Sagan a good shout as well EBH's lead out man put him in front a tad too early and forced him into an early sprint. He looked like he really had the legs today, but VWE timed it much better. Cracking stage though. Bora and Ineos were exceptional I thought. Carapaz ver...

God I love these windy stages! Ineos caused carnage there.

Wout Van Aert's potential is unreal. This man will win so many races in the coming years

Jumbo flexed their muscles a bit there. VWA's pull up that mountain was crazy. Is there anything he can't do?

JA keeps yellow, and will probably keep it until the weekend.

Beaver_Shark

Daft question. What is the point of Cousin being sent of ahead and riding most of this stage on his own. He’s going to be caught so what is he achieving? There was not much point, seeing that the only thing remaining were minor Mountains points and some sprint points. I suppose he just wanted his d...

That was some sprint by Ewan! Wow

Beaver_Shark

An awful amount of falls today, a few of the favourites got caught, didn't they? Who could be the good prospects for tomorrow? Feels a bit early for a hard mountain stage... It wasn't that hard of a stage, big group with all the main favourites in it finished together. Alaf takes the stage and the ...

Cracking win there Alaphilippe! DQT executed that to perfection.

I watched Nonu skin Smit at the buzzer in that fokken test

That was an absolute cracker of a test match, watching on TV. I believe McCaw had scored just before that Nonu try.

Kruiswijk confirmed out for Jumbo. He will be replaced by Amund Grøndahl Jansen.

Looks like he will have to target the Giro then.

Dumoulin has got one eye on the Giro I reckon... I think after Roglic's crash in the Dauphine, Dumoulin is on high alert for any sign of #1 cracking. You'd normally expect the 2IC to bury himself in service of the big boss, but I think Dumoulin will be under instructions to avoid going too deep unt...

G = Geraint Thomas

Froome & Thomas left out of Ineos TDF squad - bit surprised regards Thomas, but I guess he didn't show enough in the Dauphine + Sivakov appears to be in good form so will take his place Thomas to re-calibrate for a tilt at the Giro, Froome similarly for the Vuelta Can't say I'm too surprised.

The first week is quite lumpy, and even has a mountain-top finish as early as stage 4.

The favourites will emerge very quickly this year.

Meanwhile in Lombardia I've just seen Evenepoel going over the edge of a bridge on a descent.

Looks very very serious.

Busy day at the Dauphine today. Bernal DNS due to a problem with his back. And then there was crash involving Kruiswijk and three Bora riders (including Buchmann), and they have all abandoned. Kruiswijk has dislocated his shoulder, so his participation in the Tour is in doubt. This weakens TJV a bit...

Beaver_Shark

I think Bennett’s been angling for some greater leadership role for a while, so he might get some freedom at one of the other GTs, but 2 of Roglic, Dumoulin and Kruiswijk are going to finish the Tour doing domestique work, and those guys may feel they deserve a title shot later in the season too. I...

Jumbo Visma show strength at the tour de l'Ain. Todd will be a hell of a race and if Roglic is in good shape, he can take the win. It's a crazy team they've assembled for the mountains. So much strength! And they have Wout Van Aert who's in exceptional form to try and clean up the punchy stages. I ...

Duane Vermeulen for me. I used to see a slow number 8 with limited skills early on in his career. I thought he'd never be more than a solid super rugby player.

Then out of the blue (for me at least), he was suddenly world class.

I'm getting reports that former junior bok and Supersport rugby Xhosa commentator Kaunda Ntunja has succumbed to Covid.

Big fan. Who do you like better, Barry or Noho Hank?

Gene Cousineau is my man

That race was absolutely nuts!

Yes it looked like him. Kearsney jersey too.

Did anyone see Damian Willemse's step in the 2nd vid (at about 2:30)? I have to agree with one of the youtube comments, saying that the oke was sent to an alternate dimension

The "black market" stuff was ridiculously expensive. Okes were selling R200 gin bottles for R700. An R80 Beer 6-pack was going at almost R300.

I decided very early that it was not worth it and haven't had a drink since mid-April when my stock ran out.

There was a Fijian 7s guy called William Ryder.

He was ridiculous.

We've had 3 cases at work. The first guy tested positive in April and has made a full recovery apparently. The other two were diagnosed just a few days ago.

For international news I watch Aljazeera and a bit of CNN and Sky. Locally I actually prefer the SABC news channel, believe it or not.

Well, Westworld was pretty f'king meh, wasn't it?

Not sure I would have been able to enjoy BCS had I not seen Breaking Bad first. Season 1 and 2 were pretty slow for me, but I stuck with it because I ultimately wanted to see how Jimmy became Saul. I.e, I knew the end product but wanted to see the manufacturing process. Also I was very keen on seein...
