I’ve been trying to digest what we all witnessed in the Tour de France yesterday and have come up short with words to explain it. Then it hit me – Pog simply goes to eleven!

The Vicious Cycle 
Highly impressive. Maybe other sports should learn a lesson from the tour to make their sport more interesting. Golf could allow the next foursome to start driving when the others are halfway down the fairway. Or golf in a thunderstorm. Take out a few of the top players. I am being sarcastic. It’s unfortunate the top contenders have been taken out by accidents. I think Pogacar would have dominated anyway. Probably the only way to ‘take him down’ would be a tag team effort as Ineos had planned. Oh well next year.
I always try and buy the official program for the Tour de France, which inevitably has 4 or 5 riders who will certainly be fighting for Yellow. Every year it’s the same – 3 or 4 of the 5 are nowhere to be seen for various reasons. I guess it’s what makes cycling so exciting. Literally anything can happen and often does.
I’m not ready to put Pogacar on the same level as the immortal Nigel Tufnel, but I get your point.
No, he’s got a few more years to reach Nigel’s level, but don’t we all?
And he can do it day after day it seems.
It does seem that way.
Hi Gerry, A friend just sent me this. I hadn’t heard about Lachlan Morton’s (EF pro) doing a parallel tour to raise money for charity. Doing it the old fashioned way without support and riding between the stages. Impressive feat also. https://alttour.ef.com/
He’s actually coming into Nimes in about 30 minutes. I’m on my way out to cheer him on!
