Got my DVR set for Friday......Jonas Vingegaard will win the 2022 Tour de France.
Yup. Just mute Bob Roll and it’s all good.Best TV sporting event out there
Yep, Roll is horrible but Liggett is a treasure.....Yup. Just mute Bob Roll and it’s all good.
Roll is the Brent Musberger of pro cycling. Liggett is getting up there but still can riff.Yep, Roll is horrible but Liggett is a treasure.....
I DVR it and watch in the evening, so Hungry PLEASE don't disclose the stage results on the day and spoil my viewing!

Not a bad start for the 2 time champ.....I'll take Pogacar. Watching him win the last 2 it is easy to overlook just how young he is. Another year older and stronger, if he avoids crashing and stays healthy he will be very hard to beat.
And FWIW, he demolished Vindegaard in the Tirreno-Adriatico......
Not a bad start for the 2 time champ.....
Yes, he is using an electric assist bikeIs Lance Armstrong in contention this year?
Heard on the telecast today that this is Phil's 50th TdF. Amazing.Liggett is getting up there but still can riff.

That was an amazing stage. Full credit to you for picking him before the Tour started. He smoked Pogacar today.Vingegaard with an INCREDIBLE performance on the final climb of stage 11 to drop almost 3 minutes on Pogacar and claim THE MAILLOT JAUNE.
Only 3 HC climbs for Thursday!That was an amazing stage. Full credit to you for picking him before the Tour started. He smoked Pogacar today.

Wow. Roglic and Kruisjwijk lost in one day for Jumbo! Dumbass protestors who caused the crash that knocked out SK should be made to eat chain grease. 3 big days coming up in the Pyrenees give Pogarcar plenty of opportunities to attack.
Tuesday's finish on the Peguere has a brutal final 3.5 kms. Expect Pogarcar to let loose there.
Wednesday's finish on the Peyragudes has two very steep segments over the final 3 kms after 3 big climbs. That is a PERFECT setup for Pogacar to attack, as he is exceptional on the steeps.
Stage 18 is similar, with a daunting 2 km stretch about halfway up the final climb on the Hautacam.
If Vingegaard can defend the yellow with his diminished team on these two brutal stages, he will have earned his title with accolades to spare.
Ride hard, boys.
Pogacar has the fight, but Vingegaard has the legs. Too little, too late for Tadej after his stage win today.
Great to see the American riders performing so well. Kuss has proven to be a super domestique. McNulty rode like a champion today for Pogacar. Powless might be a GC contender someday soon. Quinn Simmons has (had) an awesome beard and has been involved in several breakaways.
The future is bright for US cyclists.
Jonas Vingegaard will win the 2022 Tour de France.
Yes, these cyclists have to be some of the toughest and most fit around. The only athletes I believe somewhat on the same level of fitness are competitive cross country skiers who also have to deal with terrain and the cold. Maybe someone with physiology background can discuss the layers of fast and slow twitch muscles in the cyclists legs. In my youth I had pretty powerful legs and could ride centuries and even did a double century under 24 hours but paid a price recovering the week after. One event I enjoyed that I think still exists was the Tour of the Scioto River Valley (TOSRV) from Columbus to the Ohio River and back the next day - a century ride each day.Pound for pound, grand tour riders--especially the GC guys and their domestiques--are the toughest athletes on the planet. I cannot think of another sport where athletes endure so much suffering for so long. And that's just for one stage. But 3 weeks? with the climbing, the heat, the crashes, getting sick, etc? These guys amaze me.
