Just smashing it in the big ring. Nuts.

Are S4c showing the race live in hd, like they did for the giro?

For a team supposedly focused on ‘marginal gains’ it remains a mystery why they ride this frame. Are pinnarello really paying them so much more cash than they could get from another bike manufacturer with a lighter and more aero frame?

Various people have talked about targeting the Olympics. For those doing that and the tour, when are they likely to pull out of the tour? First rest day? The second?

Is there a deadline for teams to announce their riders for the tour?

True

I hope he doesn’t crush the tour. Else in future most/all tour contenders will skip the may/June races to train in the way he has done.

If bennet is out, how can they not take cav? Some might complain about the quality of the field he beat in Turkey, but there can be no such complaints here. The only place you are likely to see a stronger field of sprinters is in the tour itself.

Odds on Cav going to the tour? Would love to see him win one last stage.

That’s brilliant. Why doesn’t this race have a higher profile?

Froome still struggling. Admire his tenacity to return to top level sport after that accident - another outcome might have been years of rehab just to learn to walk again - but his talk of winning another tdf seems detached from reality.

Because he was a huge asset to the team at last years Giro and by all accounts he was expected to ride the tour this summer. Doesn’t strike me as a rider one would fire. But who knows, maybe he had a blazing row with management and they decided he was too difficult to make his skill worthwhile.

Where’s he going? And why does he want to leave?

Discs feel like more than a ‘marginal gain’ in this situation…

It would be a sight.

But if bernals back is a serious, chronic condition I can think of no better way to try and induce a flare up than doing the giro / tour double.

Weather in this giro has not been the warmest. How are the roads looking for the high mountain stages in the Dolomites?

BBC weather says Verona has sunshine and 5mph breezes today. Please let them be wrong!

I wonder what this tells us about the efficiency of race radios. Did the team car deliberately withhold this info from him, did the radio stop working, did the team car not realise he was at the front of the race? Many questions.

Quite the result. How similar is the Tokyo course to this one?

Foss is so fast that he catches his 1-minute man Simon Pellaud (Androni Giocattoli-Sidermec).

Q: is this normal in a pro tt that is less than 10k long? Any chance this guy is going to miss the time cut (if there is one)?

Ineos have managed to get 3 riders in the selection at a classic. What's going on?!

Very keen to see what other races he will do after this one.

Beating Trentin and wva is definitely no joke

Seems like he is justifying the hype

What other races might Cav do this year?
