Sorry, watched both interviews and still not sure what triggered you. Matteo was clearly wiped, Sepp less so. Should Sepp have done more?

Wouldn't it be fun to get a job at the TdF? Probably very hard to land a spot doing anything. Best bet: Apply to be a wee watcher.

Evenepoel abandonned?? Don't recall a crash. Is he ill?
What are those candy bar-sized black thingies sticking down and out from behind their saddles? Radio transponders?

Three things:
1. Really liking the ITV coverage I'm seeing on YouTube. Routinely getting the best interviews out of the riders — I think by routinely asking more thoughtful and more respectful questions and leaving the zingers and blatantly sensational fluff to their competitors. Good on ITV!
2. Looking back at the pattern of uncharacteristically bad performances from more than a few strong riders over recent stages, starting to think we may be seeing a virus at work — especially in the Vizma bus.
Think what it would take to make a fighter — and podium contender — like Evenepoel pull out.
3. They need many more barriers. The fans are getting too close, too wild, too unpredictable. And the smoke flares should be banned outright. The riders deserve to be cheered, and some say they like it, but not at such dangerously close range.
