New Grand Tour title for Froome.

 

 

 

Always nice when athletes win their first title after winning other titles  

 

Just like in hammer throw and/or shot put, with athletes winning their first ever Olympic gold while already being Olympic champion

Awesome result from a young Ethiopian in one of the main U23 stage races.

By far not all the best in the world were there, but still this is her biggest win by a very wide margin (the rest was just national champs) and she did beat some good riders

Diego Ulissi won the Tokyo 2020 test event... Huge margins overall.

Well yeah, that's what you get in a race with 4 more than decent riders and the rest of the peloton filled with C-level names

Apparently Thibaut Pinot will be the leader of FdJ in the tour of Slovakia this year !

 

to name few of the another super huge names we are likely going to have in our roads are Elia Viviani   Demare or (maybe) Gaviria. Pitty Alaphilippe will not try to maintain his title from last year

Are you going to go watch from the streets? It’s a cool experience if you haven’t before.
