Girmay!
Ayuso gave pogi covid
first for kwab van aert (shitma appease a like)
Fine for Van GilsThe UCI has fined Van Gils. It ruled that he exhibited “improper conduct” by throwing a shoulder punch that endangered others. Van Gils is fined 1,500 Swiss Francs (1,530 euros). He must also drop sixty points in the UCI ranking.
>>142687601GOAT (at KWAB faces )
Holy shit Jonas is going to absolutely destroy pogacar on this. He's going to gain like 5 minutes easily
>>142687677pogi had covid pre tour
Prove me wrong: Vinge knows that pog will switch to the defensive. He will ATTACK on this next stage with a force previously unknown to man, create a 2-3 minute gap. And make POG attack on the remaining stages, where he can just wheelsuck. It’s the correct strategy
tourmalet and double horse category stage. it will be over for someone tomorrow.
>>142687677I know Berts meme about it but it is genuinely insane that the team would risk him infecting Pogi or anyone else
>>142687699That doesn't mean he can't get infected.
Fuck W*ut
>>142687732>inb4 super covid
>>142687710his name is remco evenepoel nightmares of the tourmalet for him
>>142687753It depends if they pace it up, but yeah last year he would have lost 3 minutes
"I'm gone, I'm dead"
>>142687771last year he lost 30 minutes
>>142687771we can go even further, BEYOND
>>142687751He would probably not get as sick as the first time but it can definitely still affect his condition.
>>142687753>Fish and Pog out with covid>Remco wins TdF
>>142687771He's in actual GT shape now unlike the Vuelta
Imagine if he gets long COVID. How will he farm in kermiskoersen next year.
What do you clean the residue of race sticker (glue) from your seatpost with?
>>142687840>long COVIDWhat's that?
>>142687692UCI smoking crack again lmao
>>142687840who's he?
>>142687848WD40
>>142687848wd40, drivetrain cleaner or (car) brake cleaner
>>142687692Wow, it's fucking nothing...
>>142687848some acetone will do the job. your local Bauhaus should have Soudal branded acetone.
>>142687890>>142687893>all smelly choicesalright, will try before the ride then, thanks
>>142687941You can try with alcohol
>>142687860it's this thing women get when they run out of other options of not having to work
>>142687984I'm glad we're on the same page.
>>142687848I use water and brush attashment on me handheld drill
>>142687941acetone is only smelly for like 20 seconds, turns into vapour almost immediately
>>142687848white vinegar
>Guy in the office bullying me for "Emailing like an Indian"
>>142688069gotta report that to HR
>>142688069sirs please
>>142687869>farm in kermiskoersencould be De Lie or Hirschi
>>142688152Maathew vander pool innit
>>142688152Hirshi isn't in this race, so
>>142687899uci points for Lotto is a big deal mister
>>142688186he's been alright this tdf if you ask meactually did better than expected, shame he let's himself get boxed in so much
>>142687685>>142687693> Hey! Have you heard yet of the new current thing on 4chan?> It's "kwab"
>>142688216A bit unlucky they don't have 3rd week sprints after hard pyrenee, because those are usually more open
>>142688216Same methinks.It was almost a given he will be a positionlet and lose out a lot on that but he did fine, didn't self sabotage, didn't lose his shit.And the jersey is nice.
Yea im thinking fishboy in yellow after this stage
>>142687848> hey look, I'm akshually a racer not a fucking tourist
>>142687860It's the effects of the experimental gene therapy, rebranded for reasons of national security.
>>142687612kek
>>142688266that uphill sprint greenmay won was his best shot and he made a stupid movebut I feel like this 3 weeks will boost his confidence a bit and hopefully he gets a big win soon
digits for remgoat
>>142688331I mean he already won tro bro this year. It's hard to ask more from a 22 year old sprinter
>>142688331very soulful celebration
>>142688069Bossman in the office told me my hair were getting too long this week and I should get a trim. I don't even have ugly metal-listener greasy long hair. This is wild because I work in an environment surrounded by eccentric women and flamboyant homos
>>142688478maybe he want at least one normal person around the office
>>142687921I wouldn't use acetone ever on a saddle. Even if I don't plan to sit on it right afterwards and want my bibshorts destroyed.>>142687950Alcohol is ineffective on glue. Acetone is very effective but also very corrosive. I recommend cleaners based on aliphatic compounds, like those for chains or rust removers.
>10 berts, 10 opinionsthat's it, i am using sandpaper
>>142687848>>142688518nail polish remover then?
>>142688556that's acetone
>>142688556>nail polish removerContains acetone!
>>142688216Doesn't help that Lotto leadout seems to be mia every single sprint.
>>142688556>polish removeryeah you would know a thing or two about that
>>142688478Clearly he actually cares about you & wants you to take care of yourself.
>>142688518acetone evaporates very quickly though so unless you sit on in within a minute it shouldn't matterI have to use it at work so much they actually regularly test my piss for it
holy shit he looks bad
Should have used pic related.
>>142688556oh you
>>142688661hee's gone, he's dead
>>142688617But the thing is my hair is actually maintained regularly, I have the 80s footballer slightly curly full on helmet, it's still above my eyebrows and everything. Meanwhile the chicks at the office dress like slobs and there's one of the homo who pulls up with nail polish
>>142687692don't get this at all he was protecting himself from the retard on arkea bashing him into the barrier
>>142687592is it just me or is Col de Tourmalet such a midlevel vanilla mountain?I mean, its heavy and tough, but so boring and ugly; its like a fat poshed up bbw from brit - you would but you know'll regret it later.
>>142688400why did he do it?
>>142688674soudal bert with the expert knowledge of soudal's products line-up
>>142688518seatpost, not saddle
>Tour de France riders are inhaling carbon monoxide in 'super altitude' recipe
>>142688400It wasn't even at the start where he might not have seen it. He just didn't pay enough attention to how close he was.
>>142688661He doesn't have his signature herpes lips its fine.
>>142688785tramadol tejada
>>142688400Being so fucking close to other racers is fucking terrifying at those speeds.I know I laugh at your Hayters but I can understand him and I'd probably do the same.
>>142688702That's my point. Those other people he considers lost, so he won't even bother. Apparently he still has faith in you so he does bother.
>>142687592>pla d'adet>it's not pla at all>it's in fact very steep
placing a cheeky bet on SIMON YATES for tomorrow
>>142688772pot belge comeback when?
>>142688953he's so shit this year he'd probably won't even win from a weak break
>>142688661he looks broken desuthe visma psyops got to him
>>142688837or maybe he wants another flamboyant homo
>>142688661if only UAE nutritionists knew about glucose, sucrose and fructose he wouldn't look this tired
Gonna do my blogpost cause no one responded to me :). Road to the highest point on the east coast today. I felt horrible at the end, the last little climb that was like 50m killed me. Probably too much beer and not enough water. The power is only an estimate from strava as j lost my power meter battery door and stages is bankrupt rip. Long descent still fuck my neck and back. Most of the climb isn't bad like 3 or 4% except for the 6 miles. Those 2 uphill segments after the summit also wreck you a bit. I live at sea level and could feel the elevation even though it really wasn't much
>>142689173VERY cool
>>142689173>lost my power meter battery door and stages is bankrupt ripSurely bunch of sellers should still have stock lying around. They sold the battery doors individually (because gen 1 was crap).
>>142689137Big Jan isn't all that big nowdays.
>>142688772>ywn be huffing carbon monoxide in your hypobaric chamber on your training bike whilst injecting bovine colostrumI'll never reach 5W/kg
>>142688611Good joke BertacekRudy Dhaenens
>>142689173very nice ride, I wish I had some of this near meall I can do is 1-2km shorty punchy hills where you can't settle into a nice rolling pace
>>142689173go on get you down to clingmans next
pogacar wins the sprint tomorrowgets demolished sundayI've seen the script
>>142689518now thats a confident smirk
>>142689173Very BIG and soulful ride

I hope my favorite rider Pogi wins the stage tomorrow
On French tv tonight : La Grande Boucle>François Nouel, a bicycle salesman who has always been passionate about the Tour de France, loses everything he holds most dear in a short time. Tired of his all-consuming passion for cycling, his wife Sylvie leaves him.... He then decides to do the big loop alone, completing each stage one day before the official race. The route is rough but François' project attracts the curious.None of you would have the guts to do that.I'm gonna watch it.
>>142689851I'll do it, on zwift

Hello I had some beers with a Mexican guy and I taught him about Del Toro and explained this is the new Lance Armstrong. Anyway, is Lafay really riding tomorrow? Because I may have to change my schedule for this
>>142690026>fictiondropped
must try to go early for me cycle tomorrow. I always go late and miss all the race. just don't like getting up early. simple as
>>142688627> it shouldn't matter> shouldn'tHow I wish! I once cleaned an alloy wheel with acetone and a rag. About half an hour later I typed on my plastic keyboard and guess what: I ruined it. My fingertips were still containing and spreading acetone that removed color from the board. Stupid mistake of mine because I underestimated acetone.
>>142690121Pictures of Mongolian Beer ?
>>142690051It's on Czech TV about 6 times a year, a classic
>>142690121why change your schedule, you'll feel his tectonic watts from over there
>>142690160This was it. It is pretty good actually
>>142690128Looks like Jalabert behind.
>>142690051The only French movies I've seen (not Belgian but actually French) are the Taxi movies
>>142690212Nice. Stay safe Bert.
>>142690076>>142690024Arte is the weirdest fucking channelLike yes they will broadcast the indiest fucking Tajik movies as well as documentaries on how women refugees are dealing with their periods while fighting racism and the news segments are always only about climate change and anti-semitism, so you'd think "ah ok I get it, I get what Arte is about"And then they will also broadcast kino old western movies full of sexism and Indians played by white actors or truly good documentary series like the one about the Opium Wars or the one about Magellan voyages (you'd think Arte would hate anything colonialism related) with magnificent artworks https://educ.arte.tv/program/l-incroyable-periple-de-magellan-le-partage-du-mondeMy stance with Arte is basically "95% chance it's gonna be shit but gonna check what's playing just in case because it could be gold"
>>142690235Bert, PLEASE watch some kino like L'ARMEE DES OMBRES or RIFIFI
>>142690266I'm glad arte exists. not only for my high brow culture but the totally random movies and documentaries. you can often tell which ones are made by French and by Germans. I hate it though that when they show classic American movies, you only have the choice between German or French dub.
Is Mongolbert 'tismbert?Servais Knaven
>>142690266>that documentary about the creation of IsraelI'm still shocked it wasn't censored.
>>142690307Too old.I've seen plenty of good French language movies that I liked but I don't consider them FrenchCaché/Amour (German director)Incendies (Canadian)Raw (Belgian)Maybe I'll add Une Prophete or La Haine to the watchlist.
>>142690364>>142690386A couple months ago they showed an Iranian series named The Actor that I thoroughly enjoyed and watched in the original Parsi Felt so nice to simply watch a show not set in America

Tired in a way I never saw before I started slaving.I work an office job, but I used to play vidya 10 hours a day so its not the screen time. I even feel like I dont look like the same person, just like Pogi hardly looks like himself here.Wonder what causes this. Hopelessness, maybe?
>>142688661>tfw your DS just told you you're not allowed to attack on Tourmalet tomorrow
Full report of the bike fitting:Show up, he watches me pedal for a few minutes from different angles, different positions on the bars, and different cadences/powers>Did you set this bike up or did you have it fitted when you bought it?>I set it up>Well you did a good job because there's honestly not much to adjust but there's some low hanging fruitSpent about 10 minutes doing range of motion/flexibility checks and discussing issues I felt like I had. My main problems were saddle sore on left and feeling like my right hip was always swinging wildly and not stable. I wasn't sure if I had a leg length discrepancy so we did some measurements and tests and he said it looked functional since at rest position my right leg was about 1cm shorter than left but once he loosened it up and stretched they were even.
>>142692389So you are saying he loosened you and stretched you and your leg suddenly became 1 cm longer?Some berts might need to get stretched regularly to get some extra cms
>>142692389I had paid for some custom insoles so we spent a few minutes doing those which was pretty straightforward.Rest of the fitting was motion cap of me pedaling with little adjustments being made. He ended up bringing my cleats back almost a cm, 25mm lower saddle, 25mm farther forward saddle, brought my saddle to about neutral (it was tilted down a couple degrees). He said my handlebar position looked good but to do a few weeks of riding and see how I felt and then come back for a "free" tuneup.He showed video of me riding from the beginning versus the end and because difference is that my pelvis did not tilt or rock at all after the fitting. I also kept my ass firmly planted in roughly same place no matter which position (hoods/aero/drops/bars) versus constantly shifting. Was it wildly overpriced? Yes. Do I think he made some worthwhile adjustments? TBD, but feels more stable already.

>>142692389why are male hobbies like this? either you need to have been doing it for 20 years or you'll be excluded for being too shit OR it's an ultra autist niche like cycling where u spend 90% of your time NOT riding your bike but instead researching, repairing, cleaning, optimizing etc.I'd pick up hiking but I live in the least hike-able country on planet earth. I just wanna relax ffs, cycling is like another job
>>142692505why bother yourself with what other people tell you to do instead of just riding
>>142692505says the guy chatting with a bunch of strange foreign men about cyclisme on a Friday afternoon instead of riding his bike
>>142692261i havent gotten a bike fit yet because i am afraid this exactly whats going to happen
>>142692458how much did you tip? I never know with these things
Danish really are the worst posters. It's like Facebook normies found 4shits.Fucking cringelord edgy shit, every single post trying so fucking hard to be cool.
let's say Sanbayar would win a tour stage, would you squeak as well that an Asian won. I've never heard someone complaining about a sudaca winning a race that nairoman, quintana or superMAL are a plot to destroy ciclismo.
>>142692505>i'd pick up hikingenjoying discussing with strangers what various bodyparts are starting to failthen you will discovery its full of weightweenies just like ciclismo
>>142692389>my right leg was about 1cm shorter than left but once he loosened it up and stretched they were even
>>142692545I didn't tip.
>>142692552truth
>>142692559every male hobby is the same. but it's okay because we enjoy it all the same.Honestly my favorite part about group rides are a bunch of random dudes with nothing in common standing around at the water break looking at each others' bikes and commenting

How often do you eat at these places? Probably twice a year for me. Had a Subway a few weeks ago. €9.50 for a texmex footlong. Not bad. In McDonalds I'd just raid the saver menu and get like 4 burgers for 10 euro. Their normal prices are a rip off

They can shred Visma domestiques but it really doesn't matter, Jonas can follow every move Tadej makes.At this point, UAE should shred Visma team to isolate Jonas and then force Jonas to attack solo. They'll never do it tho because Tadej is so belligerent and simply cannot be a reactive rider

>>142694142This is the issue. We may have kino scenery but these places are remote. It's not like Europe where you have a bunch of big cities clustered around the Alps and Pyrenees. The Rockies are MASSIVE and there are few towns.You could do something like Tour of California or Tour of Utah tho. That would be good. Maybe someone should try that.

Canada has some extremely kino mountain passes on the Trans Canada and all over the rockies but they would never shut traffic for a race. The road to Jasper is the most beautiful there is.
>>142695880Well nothing should be first but we need a great stage race in the US. The options for parcours are infinite but we have the Maryland Cycling Classic Presented by United Health Care (postponed) and the NYC Gran Premio which is about the level of a local crit.

There are three times where all but one rider are from the same nation. This seems statistically improbable, is there a reason for this? Example:
>>142696525>This seems statistically improbableOnly if you assume nationality distribution among teams and skill distribution among nationalities is uniform, neither of which are true. Uno-X has 30 riders of which 23 are Norwegian and the rest are Danish.
>>142694790Doubt. If UAE is smart they put the onus on jonas to actually do something besides follow tadejs wheel. If tadej goes alone on tourmelet there is no chance he will make it to the end without jonas catching up, and this time that will probably end with him getting dropped. Let the break go, make visma "pull" and then use yates as a sacrifice when jonas attacks. Can jonas really ride away from a big group? I guess these climbs are steep enough, but somehow I have my doubts
Remember when dopistes would literally sprint up mountains standing up instead of this fish twink sitting down anorexia aero shit they do now? Cycling has gone to shit....https://youtu.be/_bMBTRqctF0?t=1301
>>142696895maybe because they aren't doping anymore nigga
>>142696585So it is just chance that there are three 8-unit teams with a 7-1 composition? My first thought was that there was maybe a rule preventing teams from only having one nationality

>>142699085I called this from the start. People always overhype injuries. I bet he was back doing some light rape within a week.
>>142700158all those boomers saying you never get better from a chute completely BTFO
look at this cheeky bastard. Now he gives two separate lists and still names half the peloton
>>142700173he was in hospital for more than a weekunless you think they put a portable rape station next to his bed for some intervals.icu ?
>>142700196Yes
I fear that Yonah Bingogoal will win today
bros will tonight be GC kino?
What a mess, now they decided zingle and coquard both do their own sprint
>>142700404and people had the cheek to say Cav couldn't win. Cav will win another 35 before these lads win one.
>>142700439
Inshallah we gonna get some sheikhtwin kino
>>142700465The great sprinters Coq & Zongle 13th and 20th that day. They have more chance of success if they form a synthpop duo
>>142699570That's my SOUFAre you the other anon from Hérault
>>142699969Saint-Guilhem.... Gorges de l'Hérault.... Home....
>>142700667Yeah, pretty shilly this morning didn't expect it.
>>142700577>>142700404Milan would've mopped the floor with this sprinter's field
>>142700719No wind though at least not in my area
>>142700667dios mio that surface. hope you took the gravel bike
>>142700667looks pretty depressing
>>142692143how are you so mentally bonked already when vingo hasnt even started yet
gay visma niggas
>>142700719By the way the other day I was wondering has the tour even been around our mountains in the recent years ?Seems to me they often go through the plain but we have plenty kino cols around the Espinouse and Haut-LanguedocI know they do the Cévennes sometimes but looks like rarely the mountains in the west
>>142700667looks nice
now I will go ride to the hills my bertsusually riding even later than Bertaček but today it will be different
>>142700833Taken in winter so not as green as it usually is, also it's Mediterranean climate here until you reach 1000+ altitudes so it's scruby But pic rel you also have much more lush places, this area has a wide variety of geology and micro-climatesYou start a road at sea level and it's dry af then you reach plateaux and you have cows, green pastures and mossy trees>>142700823I only have a gravel bike as a matter of fact, I don't care about performance I just do leisure rides away from cars most of the time
>>142692505im gonna hike down to netto in just a bit
>>142700833Looks comfy as fuck yeah>>142700893Not that I remember. Shame, some cevennes stage would be pretty kino
>>142700931>>142700962>>142700938shu tthe fuck up and start pre talking the stage
Are femboys gay?
>>142700962vgh... northerners could neverIt's not the first time someone call it depressing but what I see are vast open spaces with low population density, yeah it's not as green as the Alps but it's still very rich nature with its own unique species and landscapes, and all the tourists stick to the beaches so it's peaceful
>>142700984Fritz mad he has to ride in a crowded industrialized country
South édition, we're cooking ratatouille today Berts
>>142701022>he doesnt know
>>142700931>>142700962these 2 pics are better yeahim an alpine boy, of course i find that low scrubby brown shit depressing like riding through fallout new vegas map
>>142701049Budget VosgesKidding x
>>142701051It has its charm. I love the smell in summer personally
>>142701037you didn't cook all the ingredients separately ?
>>142701095I did
>>142701101don't you think that's a waste of time rather than just adding them at different stages
i get weirdly anxious when i have to stay in flatlandsmy trip to nederland was like living in a constant mini panic attack
>>142701051I second that it has its charm. Bonus point for the higher rate of sunshine too, when it comes for riding and the outdoors in general I love the Alps as well as Slovenia which I've visited but they have become the default standard beautyWhen you look around the scrubs they hide animals, birds, plants and insects you won't fine anywhere else in France and I know this is cyc and not some biology thread but it's interesting to me And as I said it's got a wide range of landscapes. Pic rel is not far there are lovely rides through canyons
>>142701118why
How long do you think the first 50-60 km of slurping should take? Plan to start watching just before tourmalet
>>142701127i dont know reallyit's probably in my genes that i have to pick a mountain or some high point for orientation and theres fucking nothing thereat least in norf germany i could use wind turbines
>>142701111Depends, sometimes I just put everything together but this morning I had time. It does taste better somehow.>>14270115014:45 should be a safe time to watch
>>142701161>14:45 should be a safe time to watchThanks =)
You knew Pidcuck would pull out for Olympics and diddnt waste points on him right?Easiest decision of my life not to pick him
>>142701160sometimes when its too flat and the sky is so big i feel like falling down

>>142701161thanks to you I will also prepare ratatouille today and serve it for supper with black olives, perhaps also a madiran
>>142701200i know exactly what you mean. especially if theres no cloudsguess my leftover caveman dna still wants to live there
>>142701236Heh... My boy Tpidderz... He'll win the Tour someday... Remember Huez... Just needs a bit more time...

>>142701284of course I can you Mongo but "Schwarzwald" is about as precise as saying "Belgium", I was wondering if you knew the exact place
>>142701343oh sure buddy its Kloster St. Trudpert
>>142701310someone in the peloton is a super-spreader
>>142701364pog had it
>>142701354thanks m8, haven't ridden past it yet thent. Badener
>>142701372w*ut probably got it second
>>142701305A classic
>>142701364Literally everyone shook hands with Cavendish after his stage win
imagine jonas gets taken out by covid and his crippled lung collapses
>>142701510If that crash in Basque Country doesn't stop him, nothing will
>>142701510there was never any crippled lungs
>>142701510I rather imagine it pops like a balloon on the slopes of the tourmalet and he flies off the mountain in big loops making a high pitched noise that ends in a fartsound
>"I hope to win a stage, I've felt good, it's close, it's in the legs"KWAB, 5 more 2nds incoming
In an exclusive and also rather worrying story, Escape Collective reveals that at least three teams, including the Visma | Lease a Bike, UAE Team Emirates and Israel - Premier Tech have access to an expensive device called a carbon monoxide rebreather, which allows for the precise dosing of carbon monoxide into the lungs. But it may have another use. To cheat doping.An agressive approach called carbon monoxide inhalation steps into the scientifically new and much riskier realm of inhaling the lightly poisonous gas (carbon monoxide) for the express purpose of performance enhancement. A growing body of recent scientific research suggests CO inhalation can have a powerful impact on measures of aerobic capacity like VO2max, or maximal oxygen uptake.The technique is not banned by WADA, although it appears to conflict with the agency’s rules around artificial manipulation of the blood. Currently, there is no hard evidence that any WorldTeams are using CO inhalation for performance gains. However it doesn't take long for conspiracies about the practice already being used for a long time now.

>>142701832the next Hesjedal
Bruyneel says there's a rumor Remco is going to Red Bull next year (they will buy out his contract).I don't fully believe it, but strange that there are always these transfer rumors about Remco (remember the Remco to Ineos and Visma/QS merger rumors last year?).
>>142701870First time I see her looking good. Usually she has such a rat face
>>142701915It was in hln a couple of days ago. Very likely
>>142701930how's line's bloatmaxx going these days anyway ?
>>142701915they will need a new gc contender once roglic dies of old age
>>142701915rog is washed, it is known. They need an actual rider to carry the bvll name
>>142701210No need to be mad. You are more hardcore than me =)
>>142701915I could see it happen, also there will be no Specialized dilemma like a Visma/QS merger would have caused.
>>142701915even my boomer boss without social media has caught on to this. Its basically confirmed
>>142701915Patje will retire if Remco changes team.
>>142702239Hasn't he been retiring for years now, he just seems to be unable to find a worthy heir. Will it mean the end of QS or will we see a new and improved Wolfpack in a couple of years?
you will never have a cutie support you
>>142702279>Will it mean the end of QSI could see this happen. Probably a lot of sponsors and other deal that are dependent on everyone knowing him. He is more or less the teams's 'brand'.Would be a shame to see such an old and successful team disband so I hope they figure it out.
>>142701915If the image with the salaries is true, I don't understand why they went for Roglic and not Remco in the first place.
>>142702349They were buying a different kind of expertise Ith roglic
They make the tour pass through Lourdes so vingegaard can say his last prayers and ask for a miracle
what was that Pogi interview saying he will slurp semen for the rest of the race
Slovenian psysiotherapist in Ineos Marko Džalo:„His injuries may not have been as bad as it was initially portrayed after the Basque Country. I learned from sources within the team that with the training numbers showed he's in even better shape than last year.”
>>142702382Injury psyop was also used last year by pogi. It's becoming a real trend
>>142702382a Slovenian doing psyops for Pogiim sure he has not reason to lie
>>142702349because Remco still has a contract until 2026
>of the 11 Tours I watched, 4 had the GC winning team only win 1 or 0 stages>This one is currently on track to become #5 out of 12 Damn I really started watching in the slurping train era huhI guess this one won't actually qualify though, highly likely UAE/Visma win another stage

"I think that fine and punishment are quite exaggerated," says Van Gils. "It is the heaviest sanction that has been given so far in this Tour. It's also strange that I get a punishment and he doesn't. If I make a mistake, he definitely made one too."Van Gils clarifies: "I think he made the mistake of falling asleep in the sprint. Maybe there was a beautiful lady on the sidelines or something? He's totally gone off track and ruining our day too. It's more his fault than mine.Of course it's a shame that he falls, you don't wish that on anyone. But you also have to be able to look in the mirror yourself and say: I was wrong too."
>>142703071Yeah I think Capiot was the one at fault. Gils just protected himself.
Cav attack it's over for Pogi/Fish boy
