Men's Road Cycling UCI World Tour 2020 (Tour de France)

[Grassmarket 4,261]

One of the commentators mentioned that Pogkačar’s mother is a teacher of French, so clearly he is really a kind of honorable Frenchman.

Bennett dotting the i's and crowning his deserved green jersey in the best way possible.

Easy for non-Poglačar in the end.

Rolling back the good times! First Irish winner of the green jersey since Seán Kelly in 1989. Great job Sam Bennett

And Tour de l'Avenir the year before. With not Tour of California this year, everything is set for a Norwegian winner next year!

Bernal and Pogacar both won it in the year they turned 20, this Norwegian guy was already 22 when he won it ... 

I think the 2nd place for Aleotti (Born in 1999) and the 3rd place for Van Wilder (Born in 2000) were more impressive, not to mention that Pidcock and Evenepoel are much more likely to „challenge“ Pogacar anyways.

Mads Pedersen, Søren Kragh and Magnus Cort were all pretty damn good juniors and I would dare say that they've all had pretty decent breakthroughs

Yeah, but none of them is remotely close to competing for a grand tour. It is much easier to just go for stage victories.

Hey guys, yes I am still alive. In Slovenia we have again our classic problem. Some of them are extremely happy for Pogačar, others are truly upset over another "last time trial" defeat from Roglič (same as last time for 3rd place against Froome).

 

So, nothing new on Sunny side of Alps, nation is divided once more.

Police have searched the hotel where Arkea-Samsic was staying Wednesday, apparently specifically the room of the Quintana's. According to the Marseille public prosecutor they found "numerous health products including medicine...and especially a method that could be considered doping."

 

Rumour has it they've found needles and stuff to 'enrich' blood. This is a potential bombshell, I wonder if it's got something to do with panic after his injury and trying to find a....different way to quickly get back to his flying levels of pre-COVID-19.
