Side note - TDF

Morning,

Is anybody watching the Tour De France?

The mountain stages make me feel literally nauseous watching them ascend up 12% gradients!

And here’s me moaning about 5 minute jogs! 🙈

Go on Pogacar 🚵‍♀️

Yes... it’s crazy isn’t it! 🚴🏻‍♂️

How do they do it? 🤷‍♀️ Their legs must be screaming! 🙈

I suppose them all being about 9 stone helps!

Walking faster perhaps

Those mountain stages get more mental every year.

My tip Pogacar, Roglic, Porte

I see Bernal has dropped out.

Roll on the Vuelta😁

I think Roglic will see it through. Unless Pogacar can nail the ITT?

If it wasn’t for that one stage where he was stuck in the wrong group he’d be the favourite, Pogacar. I think he’s ace.

In my head I think so too

But it just takes one bad day in the remaining mountain stages. Anything can happen...
