They've got an illegal wiretap on Zubeldia's phone, trying to work out what he did with the cloak of invisibility when he retired

Nairo Quintana (aka Nairo! on here) has a press conference on Sunday where he's expected to announce his retirement. If he arrives flanked by motorcycle outriders, don't be surprised to see him ignore them and plough on anyway.

The man who could have been Egan Bernal.

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
Still, he's got his other business interests to fall back on. There's his stationery business, specialising in ballpoint pens, and the fruitiers.
That's Nairo's Biros and Quintana's Bananas.

Thought he was opening some street-food chains?

I was poking around looking for official confirmation of Apaphilippe's retirement announcement and I came across this.
"Chris Froome has not (yet) been officially confirmed as retired from professional racing"
https://www.cyclingnews.com/pro-cyc...ng-career-remains-officially-on-hold-for-now/ He's doing some AI training nonsense thing. All aboard the AI bandwagon.
I'd assumed he had retired. Come on Chris. Time for a comeback. Teach that young Tadechar chap a lesson. Trip him up with your walking stick.

Another who was going to dominate for years but that crash did for him just as Remco/Jonas and Pog arrived.
Froome!! Just retire. No Cavendish comeback there.

To be fair to Froome, his results now with no team and no races aren't all that much worse than his last couple of seasons

Interesting article about VO2 max record holder Oskar Svendson on the comic's website at the moment.

Just shows that you can have all the god given talent in the world but if your heart and head aren't on the game, forget it.
