Sticky sheets???
Have you never fallen off a bike Stagger?
And I'm referring to the type that has wheels;)
I'm glad we have some decent sport on tele again and look forward to the next few weeks.
We were discussing who we thought would win yesterday whilst watching the hightlights. I tipped Pinot who almost instantaneously then fell off. Shows what I know but I do rate him highly so my pick for the Podium along with Roglic and Bardet 3rd.
Six years ago he was 3rd and the "new Hinault" since when he has had three DNF in the last four tours. Just finishing would be progress.
I recently read about LeMond who had everything* going for him - superb physically, intelligent, innovative, film star looks - that he could have won six tours but without the luck he had he might have won none. Since Hinault, France has had riders who could have won the Tour but the weight of expectations has destroyed them all.
* He was a bit of a whiner but calling Armstrong out for the cheat that he was bankrupted his bike company and made him poisonous in the USA - so I overlook that.
Mon Dieu!
You've just got to love le Tour!
