Route d Ocitannie starts tommorow in France.Ineos are putting there B team out for a training ride by the looks of it....
Amadore,Castroviejo,Vanbaarle,Geoghan Hart and the favourite to win Sivakov
Nearly forgot Froome and Bernal 😁

Bernal took the stage and race lead at route Occitaine today.Looked more than good ! I though maybe they'd have let Sivakof have this win....home race and all that.But it's Ineos !
Think Froome came in around 31st ?

He can have a home race in Italy Russia and France! And maybe the UK now too...

Was Froome keeping his powder dry or not able to keep up, I wonder?

Last 20 mins of yesterday's stage if anyone ones interested ? Classic Sky/Ineos as in pure strength in the team,hard to break that...as well as Bernal ! Can anyone really see him being beaten.
I'll add Froome looked pretty good on the front of that Ineos train.Bit of a testing himself out.

Benoit Cosnefroy of AG2R wins the 4th and final stage of La Route d'Occitanie
Bernal takes the overall win.
 
I popped down the road to watch the Route d'Occitanie come through St Martin de Vers.... I'd had a lovely ride on a bit of the route they were riding earlier this morning. It has been a beautiful day and watching them come through at warp speed just finished it off perfectly... just time for an apero now!!!

Froomedawg 4 minutes down so his powder is very, very dry. Fingers crossed that the Tour goes ahead as planned.
Can't wait
I think he finished the race 30 mins off lead ? To be fair he was only really riding as a domestque,he looked good enough in that clip I posted from yesterday's stage.Testing himself out so to speak.
Like you I really hope the Tour goes ahead,fingers crossed.I never write Froome off,if not this year then next...never say never !

I never write Cav off but he'll be extremely lucky to make Bahrain's squad this year

Terrible looking crash at the finish of tour of Poland. Only seen a tiny Twitter size video and frankly I don't want to see it again until I know if everyone's OK.
I switched off the coverage on ES when it happened. Hoping it looked worse than it was.
