Søren Kragh Andersen again! :w00t:

Yeah perfectly timed attack, none of the others in the breakaway could muster an attack.

Younger even than Bernal and to win it all on the last time trial. Incredible.

Poor guy, he looked utterly beaten and broken when he crossed the finish line.

This is a nice story. Pogacar rode without the use of a watt meter thereby becoming the promised anti-Froome.

A Dutch won the women's UCI world championship surprising no one. Van der Breecken also won the time trial yesterday.

Uttrup sadly had mechanical problems and lost the chaser group but still managed a top 10 position.

Alaphillipe wins! Apparently the French haven't won since Brochard in the 90's so good for them.

Alaphillipe thinks he's winning Liege Bastogne Liege and raises his arms 10 meters before the line only to see Roglic overtake him and win by a millimetre. That finish line photo will haunt him

Alaphilippe would have lost it anyway, he was also relegated to the back of the group for cutting off Hirschi in the sprint (who looks like he could have won).

In the battle of miserable chokers, the Braves somehow found a way to out-choke the Dodgers in the most demoralizing and humiliating way possible and blew a 3-1 series lead. The Dodgers, after years of pathetic underachieving, have finally found their way to the World Series. I expect for them to lay down for the Rays.

My condolences Georgia.

The Vuelta a Espana Covid is starting tomorrow.  It is nice of Italy and Spain to have super-spreader events across a wide swath of territory to help the disease along.

Small time overlap between Giro (last week) and Vuelta though.  :P
