    Well, we’re approaching the Mordor of conspiracy theories now.
  2. Grassmarket
    Yeah, but wind & solar kill actual physical living birds. Fossil fuel plants only kill theoretical, statistical birds in academic journal articles financed by the green lobby.
  3. Grassmarket
    See, this bears out my theory that nowadays the majority of dopers in cycling are second-raters desperate to get a contract renewal.
  4. Grassmarket
    Doubt it will be Kelderman: his team-mate Hindley looks the better bet just now.

    Bunch sprint in classic order developing over in Northern Spain.... All sorts of people you didn’t even know were in the race appear for the sprint & Sam Bennett gets it. Two wins in a row for .
  6. Grassmarket
    Much needed won for Josef Černy - no contract next year, team going out of business & no team GT wins in two years.
  7. Grassmarket
    Peloton gives up the chase: fourteen in the breakaway will be fighting for the win.
  8. Grassmarket
    Of course not. Your liberal friends never tell people there are heavy ecological costs associated with their policy preferences. In fact, solar farms also kill large numbers of birds. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/solar-farms-threaten-birds/

    He’s absolutely correct. https://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to-birds/collisions/wind-turbines.php

    Well, that’s democracy for you. Not quite sure why people expect a minority should be able use the Courts to dictate laws to the majority after the minority has lost a whole series of elections.

    The only reason it has more women’s medals is that there will be a Women’s Cricket tournament - Men have plenty of other tournaments - and a Netball tournament, which is a.women-only sport. Otherwise equality.
  12. Grassmarket
    So change the Constitution.

    Another Top 10 shootout on a small climb today, this time Dan Martin gets the win.
  14. Grassmarket
    Checking it now, Guerreiro has accumulated a massive lead of over 100 points, so unlikely to be possible.
  15. Grassmarket
    Pinot has abandoned, unsurprisingly - back is still not recovered. Goes back to his goats for the winter.

    Guess Hindley & Geoghagan-Hart must be in with a chance of repeating Pogačar’s triple of overall, KoM & Young Rider. Kelderman starts to slip again. Hindley gets the stage!
  17. Grassmarket
    Kelderman’s managing to hold his gap now. Getting a lot of help from the GPS timer. Bilbao & Fuglsang also gaining now. No, just Bilbao, Fuglsang is gone.
  18. Grassmarket
    Straight fight now between Hindley & Geoghan-Hart. Kelderman need to hold onto Fuglsang or he’s a dead man. Can’t do it, that is it!
  19. Grassmarket
    Jeez, some remedial dressing lessons needed for Sunweb. Hindley is riding down the mountain with an air-brake on his chest. Kelderman starting to lose big chunks of time now. Going back to Group 3 Bilbao & Fuglsang. Geoghagan-Hart takes 3 secs sprint bonus, goes ahead of Hindley by 1 sec!
  20. Grassmarket
    Decisive moments in the Giro - Almeida in trouble for the first time. Hindley, Kelderman & Geoghagan-Hart putting time into him now. Kelderman cracks. 45k to go & lots more climbing. Very weird that the battle for theGC & the Young Riders jersey are now the same. Well into the snowline.
  21. Grassmarket
    Do you know how many breweries there are along that route?
  22. Grassmarket
    Didn’t realise It but with the cancellation of the Compiègne-Roubaix that’s the last one-dayer (and indeed three-dayer ) of the year. Just the Giro & the Vuelta (inc women’s mini Vuelta) to go.
  23. Grassmarket
    Update on the horses who got involved in the stage today. As the pack attempted to reel in Soler, a group of five small Asturcon wild horses, local to the northern Spanish Basque region, burst out of roadside trees and into the second chasing group. Miraculously, no-one was knocked off their bike as riders took evasive action. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/54609483
  24. Grassmarket
    Whole herd of horses on the road in the Vuelta. in the race, all the top 10 or so from yesterday are in the top 10 group today and all the disappointments from yesterday are going to be disappointing again today. Soler making a desperate bid for the first major Movistar win of the year. Gets the win. Roglič gets 6 secs bonus.
  25. Grassmarket
    Some big reorganisation needed for Saturday as the Mayor of Briançon is not going to let the race pass through the town (scheduled to be about 40k to go, with an intermediate sprint). Final climb starting up to Madonna di Campiglio. GC fight starting. Ben O’Connor goes for glory in the break. O’Connor gets the win. GC seems to be fizzing out into another race for the odd 10 deconds or so.
