Yep, it's Pinot's to win it now.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 21 July 2019 16:07 (four years ago) link
Pinot deserves it.
Still think the INEOS power team will only need one good day from either GT or Bernal to kill 'em all.
Jumbo copying Movistar's disastrous tactics today.

Sidebar: Geraint Thomas & Luke Rowe have a podcast - fan-named “Watts Occurring” - just them chatting on rest days about the race & other things, short & sweet 15 min episodes - quite enjoyable tbh

fuuuuuuck that was a stressful crazy exciting stage! scared king julian was going to push himself into collapse towards the end there. zero teammates for him for such a long way wasn’t a great look.landa is amazing, dude deserves a better team than the movistar nonsense. but pinot my god, he had gears upon gears, seemed to increase power with every grimace. glad there were no serious crashes with all the rain & narrow roads. well deserved rest for everyone now

Chris Horner joined the commentary team on NBC Sports this year. So far for me he’s come off like the terry bradshaw of cycling commentary - just continually finding loud & annoying ways to be wrong
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 21 July 2019 22:21 (four years ago) link
There's a reason I stick to the Matthew Keenan/Robbie McEwen commentary.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 21 July 2019 22:28 (four years ago) link
Isn't Horner like universally disliked?
― gbx, Sunday, 21 July 2019 22:30 (four years ago) link
NBC are so in reconstructed. Liggett especially lives in a world where the lance tours weren’t vacated.
I should really try Keenan and McEwan. I’ve been watching ITV out of habit and France TV because it’s the best. The ITV livestream is better over VPN and France TV is better on playback.

debating whether to pay $10 for this final weeki dont know if i can take another week of horner. plusphil drives me round the bend, every time someone slows down he invents some fanciful fairytale for whats happening
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 21 July 2019 23:06 (four years ago) link
I like horner ok, but not on commentary all the time. i have not seen him here do...maybe i should check. but—phil? nope. correction: HELLNOPE. i try tell you go to aussies they are ok.
stage developed v slightly later than i figured it might, but at least he has the jersey a lil longer. that tweet loooool never change dude.

If you are going to spend $10, spend it on a vpn then you can choose between Australia, France, UK or any of the others.

i have never heard him doing commentary, but his Vuelta win was one of my favorite GC wins ever.
― Ludo, Monday, 22 July 2019 06:26 (four years ago) link
The ITV commentary (Ned Boulting/David Millar) has been entertaining for the daily gradual realisation that their pal Geraint isn’t going to take the yellow jersey today. The time trial live was hilarious - they didn’t quite say “there must be something wrong with the clocks” but the disbelief was coming through strong. But anyway, I enjoy listening to them.

pinot to have a jour sans, juju will ship time in the alps... and G defends the jersey, with a france two-three
G moderated his effort so well when he became dislocated and said himself he could have gone after pinot on the prat (but didn’t want to wheel juju up to bernal). he’s riding himself into this thing. back end of this week is to be hot hot hot (which pinot hates) AND there have been quite a lot of instances of riders with (as wiggins puts it) the two bob bits this year too...
― ||||||||, Tuesday, 23 July 2019 07:26 (four years ago) link
Heat is defiant going to be a big factor. I think your are probably right in your analysis but this tour has thrown up a fair few surprises and I hope it throws up a few more.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Tuesday, 23 July 2019 07:35 (four years ago) link
Not impressed by Thomas at all and Ineos as a team seems considerably weaker than previous efforts. The Alps are to his advantage though, just like they are for Kruiswijk. Still think Pinot will nick it.
I've no idea what Buchmann can do this tour but he seems to be in the form of his life.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 23 July 2019 09:01 (four years ago) link
it would be so awesome if Buchmann would win, a guy I wouldn't recognize passing in the street (would anyone) Everyman Emanuel winning the Tour this year, like a dutch commentator put it after the first week, a guy so anonymous even his mom has yet to spot him on tv. (She would have now, obv.)
as said, my bet goes to either one of the Ineos rider. Team hasn't been imprevisse, otoh, will probably be able to step up a notch if their GC guys are improving too.
― Ludo, Tuesday, 23 July 2019 10:56 (four years ago) link
I don't even know who Buchmann is. Would be happy for any of top five to win it, for different reasons.

The aerial footage of the last 2km being shown after the race is one of my favourite things, especially when it's a sprint. Good one by Ewan, Groenewegen's was a comedy of errors. RIP Fuglsang.

Awesome finish by Ewan, short burst sprint finish def his bread & butter. Smart AND fast - love it. Bummed for Fugelsang :(

And I'm already geared up for the Vuelta, bring it.
Just saw what happened in watching the coverage. Whoops! (But LOL Ineos -- I shouldn't be so petty but after years of those grim faced bastards just grinding up the road in the TdF watching the screws come loose has been amusing.)

Not quite as much as when they were winning stages and making Carly Rae Jepsen Lip-sync videos
They've been altogether too serious since they became a GC team.
