unbelievable. Couldn't watch real time, but just looked at last 40k!

Little noticed fact: MvdP got his foot out and almost kept it up! Crazy reaction time

Pogi helped away from mix zone at the end, got dizzy he was so spent

great race!

Had to talk about it. Not sharing the name of the rider who won but just wanted to natter hehehe

A day later and I still can’t believe that race! Who slips and falls, breaks half his shoe and then continues to go so fast in the last two rounds that he’s an extra minute ahead of everyone else. What a guy, it’s been 38 years since my country won a rainbow jersey. We came close several times but this…

I mean! Who uses the Tour de France as a training ride??? He did! Unbelievable!
