2026 Races....Spoilers.

Jorg is second but too cooked to win now. Paul will be sore tomorrow and will find it hard to get time back. Del Boy looks like he will win but Luke Tuckwell only has to follow wheels to win.

Or bizarre coverage? There's people who are still very much in the race who were being either talked down or not in the picture like Jorgensen, who's in the box seat at the moment. Johannessen's sponsors can maybe feel a little under fuelled too.

I think it'd because he does not feature at the.VERY pointy end ... His GC is a function of the TTT

Stage 8 Beaufort > Plateau de Solaison - Brison 120,1 km

Hell of a starting ramp .

‘Only’

Decathlon now able to cite precedent when they drill it on the front following a Pogacar or Vingegaard crash in the TDF.

Giro Next Gen begins today with a pretty decent start list. I'm particularly excited to see Lorenzo Finn up against Matisse Van Kerckhove. Ineos' Cameron Rogers (nephew of former Sky rider Mick) seems to be highly rated but I know little about him. Other riders with cycling kin include Finlay Tarling, Adam Rafferty, Ben Wiggins and Baptiste Gregoire. I'll also be keeping an eye out for Jan Michal Jackowiak (youngest rider in the race who looks very talented), Seth Dunwoody (a stage winner last year) and Seb Grindley who impressed at the 2024 junior worlds but hasn't really kicked on since.

RAI and HBO Max are amongst the TV channels who have rights but TV coverage can be unreliable. Fortunately, it is being livestreamed here:

No it isn't. I'm an idiot. That links to a stream of the 2024 edition.

So much racing on today. It feels slightly unfair calling the Copenhagen race that’s over 220km long a ‘sprint’. If anyone has been missing Carlton that’s where to find him.

Well, it's guaranteed to end in a sprint at any rate. And every sprinter except Magnier and Milan will be there (Milan just pulled out with illness).
Might be a damp and soggy 220km though, the weather gods aren't exactly shining on us at the moment, some of the rain showers have been torrential

Forecast is actually looking drier than yesterdays predictions, so maybe not wet in the finish circuit

Looks very British.

I wonder how good Rune Herregodts Danish is?

Oh we're nowhere near hitting 35C

I.bumped into Michael Rogers moonlighting as a personal cycle coach for some city banker type on the A104 . Wasn't in sky kit ...during his Contaminated meat suspension. He laughed when I recognised him but denied it. Must have been winter some year around 2013 to 2015 I guess . bit hazy
