Bruce Wayne's latest activity

Good that the rest waited. An enjoyable stage all told. The steep climb towards the end didn't do as much damage as people expected.

With not much before it, you'd expect the Soulor to be ridden at a ferocious pace. We'll see what the shake out is from that. They're probably doing the harder side of the Soulor, but it's also a fair descent down to the foot of the Hautucam, so...

Almeida is a loss, for sure, but they still have pretty much the Dauphine squad left, which did the job perfectly well there. I suppose we'll see on Thursday, if JV manage to shred the field over the Soulor and have numbers left on Hautucam. The...

Based on what though Dave? The Giro was a perfectly staged smash and grab, but up to the Finestre you wouldn't have said JV were doing that well at all. Similarly, in the races between then and now, they haven't been able to lay a glove on...

Since the start of 2024, when Pogacar has clearly gone up a level, the head-to-head between him and Vingegaard reads 32 v 9, and only one of those from Vingegaard saw him win the stage. By contrast, Pogacar has won 13 stages.

I'm not sure he has it in him tbh.

UAE are down a couple of strong riders (Almeida and Sivakov) so a long attack from Jorgensen would make sense once they get in the mountains.

A bit of huff and puff from JV, without ever looking like they'd do much. Both Pogacar and Vingegaard are so far ahead of the rest, I just can't see how Jorgensen et al can do any damage at all.

Must be a huge vault on Easter Island to pay for all those multies to be verified.

Pyrenees first. If it's still close by next Saturday - after the very steep uphill TT on Friday - the brutal stage into Superbagneres (which includes the ascent of the Tourmalet) should, you would think, give Visma a great opportunity to mug...

I think Ventoux is probably first up isn't it?

It would be nice. In the Dauphine, he was stronger in the TT, but struggled in the mountains. Here, he got thrashed in the TT. It doesn't bode well.

It will be a blow if Almeida is inconvenienced by his cracked rib, but Adam Yates has had an easy week so should be pretty fresh come the hills. It's hard to see where he could lose 1m18s.

Play cricket at the height of summer rather than the stupid Hundred.

The Austrian side in the morning was actually lovely. My legs were fresh, the views were spectacular, and it was relatively quiet. The Italian side had none of that. A thick mist descended so you could barely see 10m in front of you, and it was a...
