    England look really vulnerable at the back in every game. Not only do other teams seem quicker than us, but they seem to be winning balls in the air too. Improvement needed in the second half.

    As a contrast, Yates' climb of Finestre was a very similar amount of time but he did 6.2 w/kg, which on this stage would have put him about at Pantani's time...

    3 minutes faster than Pantani in 2000 and 90 seconds quicker than Mayo's record, which was set in a time trial. I'm sure I read they had a headwind as well.

    He didn't always seem that comfortable today. Fantastic ride from Healy though. What a race he's having. He's looking very solid for a top 10 as things stand. Hopefully Tom Pidcock will be watching his race as a template.

    Did anybody realise that Van Wilder was still in that gap between the leaders and Pog/Jonas? TV coverage didn't seem to realise. Seemed to appear from nowhere. He's owed a drink or two.

    I don't get all the hype around the Lions tbh. Bar Wales, you'd probably fancy England, Scotland, and Ireland to beat Australia on their own at the moment, so a composite of all four nations should run away with it, yet the Lions record against...

    It's great to see Matty Nicholson ripping up trees in the NRL, but there's also a pang of sadness at a time where Wigan's backrow looks out on its arse, we've got Nicholson, KPP, and Smithies all down under doing great things. The salary cap...

    You feel Vingegaard's beaten a bit mentally. I don't think he believes he can win anymore.

    I'm sure it was a little bit of marketing bumph, but if you assume "marginal gains", or a more scientific approach to the sport began with Sky in 2009, we've kinda seen a U-shaped performance graph, with a marked dip after the EPO era, and then a...

    Pog is the best I've seen since Merckx and I can only barely remember him. However his performance is absolutely mind-blowing and sadly my first thought is not what an incredible athlete he is but that it is impossible to achieve without drugs...

    Not too surprised, but Remco has called it quits today.

    I suppose this is what I struggle with the most. The Sky era was typified by the whole marginal gains thing, and they were supposed to be the best because of looking under every stone for improvements. Despite this, they were way down on the EPO...

    I got into the sport because of Pantani and he always contended that his suspension in 99 was a stitch up because he was too dominant in that year's Giro. He's probably chuckling looking down on the dominance Pogacar shows in every race he rocks...

    One thing I find interesting is that, if you look at a proam race, like the Maratona, the times haven't really changed much https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maratona_dles_Dolomites#Recent_results You would think that those at the sharp end will...
