Not sure about startlist. But I did carry out this important research on monuments before

I was once at a work meeting at GCN with 9 people.

There was me, Dan, Danny, Dan, Dan, Jon, Jon, Jon and John

And Dan Lloyd wasn’t even one of them.

That’s ok. Philippe Gilbert won it and was never the favourite

Why is the 2007 DauphinΓ© so relevant all of a sudden? And why are we going to be talking about this race all year? Time to keep yourself informed!

β€œCycling is a hugely popular sport. However, its media exposure and the revenues it generates do not match its popularity,”

I wonder how Lappartient knows this. Or how he thinks he knows this.

He is quickly becoming a proper peloton villain

What a great win by Axel Laurance. I love scenarios like that. A win by the head as much as by the legs.

Also cycling: β€œPlease watch our live races Paris-Roubaix Hauts de France, The Tour Auvergne-RhΓ΄ne-Alpes and Flanders Fields - From Middelkerke to Wevelgem”

When Pog wins his fifth Tour de France this year, he’ll still be younger than Lance Armstrong was when he won his first.

I've often thought they could/should do that for track racing, or for when anyone tries to break the hour record.

not sure how feasible it would be for road racing.

There are so many things we could do to enhance cycling coverage. Why are we not doing any of them?

A little bit dizzying at times but in general, terrific. The drone shots in cyclocross are really good too. Should definitely be used more in road racing.

Watching the downhill skiing and the on screen graphics are magnificent.

I make it four races this year already which have had to shorten/cancel due to adverse weather:

Tour Down Under (Willungahillmate)
Surf Coast Classic
Mallorca Challenge (Trofeo Andratx)
Valenciana TT

Evenepoel is undefeated so far this season.

Has he already made a bollocks of things? Or is he taking exactly the right approach?
