Oscar Onley’s Picnic-PostNL team got to start in Albertville early, partly to reduce the time they were spending at altitude. They slept at 1800m last night. True story.

Geraint Thomas on Visma isolating Pogačar: ‘You can isolate a Ferrari, but it still goes fast.’

Another fun quote from this morning - Valentin Paret-Peintre on his efforts to gain weight: ‘I’ve tried Nutella, alcohol, McDonald’s, beer…nothing works for me.’

Rog woke up & decided to set himself on fire

"His has been domination with a smile, less austere than Merckx's, and with a touch more joie de vivre" Who is the GOAT; Merckx or Pogačar? Daniel Friebe weighs in 🐐 #TDF2025

Léo Bisiaux, rhymes with Hinault

Wouldn’t take this too literally. I sat in a press conference with Tom Boonen after he’d just won Worlds in Madrid in 2005 & he said much the same things. He eventually retired in…2017. x.com/lucasaganronal…

Am I missing something or are people really reporting this Bjarne Riis confession like it’s news? He confessed fully & very publicly in 2007. Wait until they hear about Bernard Thévenet!
