Loving it - would be great if he could beat the record on the Champs Elysses but he has to get over the mountains first and he hasn’t ridden them all season. One day is over the Col de Tormalet, twice!!! ---

I thought it was the Ventoux that features twice on one stage. Mind you, that’s even more horrific than the Tourmalet twice. ---

She is still likely to get a fine - the fact the lawsuit is dropped means the threat of jail time recedes (some quirk of French law) She probably deserves some form of penalty even if it is to warn others I did hear that the day 1 and 3 crashes have cost over £200k in broken bikes ---

Once up Tourmalet was enough for me… 18C at bottom, -3C at top, get fucked going up, and frozen to death on way down. I also had a cold ;-( Had just opened day before, was end of May a few years back now) (not helped by weighing 95kg at the time…) ![1614370_10205923508982792_6862056298742481214_o](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/6/9/69b6bba04e13a30d6b295728fc227637aa1245a1.jpeg) ---

Pogacar has kicked the arse out of this tour. He is just laying down markers for the future - I am 7minutes ahead but I am going to beat you up that mountain because I can and there’s nothing you can do to stop me. And I’m only 22 so I am going to be doing this to you for a decade. Cav made it so now has 2 chances to get the record ---
