  1. Several years ago, I didn’t think that anyone would be able to have a stacked team like the ones from Sky/Ineos. Now TJV has such an incredible roster that they can assemble these monster squads for grand tours that are proving to be almost unbeatable. If Kuss hangs on for the overall, they will have winners for all three grand tours on the same team. I never even consider that as a possibility on a single team.
  2. Well, that was always going to happen. Thanks for playing, Bardet.
  3. That’s real pro stuff. Hit the wall early one day falling out of GC contention, come back the next day and attack. Still stage wins out there.
  4. My god, just how far will Evenepoel fall? Completely out of it unless some absolute disaster befalls Team JV. Edit - Never mind. He still has literally miles to climb with 14 minutes already elapsed behind the winner. That’s about as bad of a day you can have without a crash.
  5. Incredible. That has to be demoralizing to the other teams with GC and podium aspirations.
  6. Kuss for real this time
  7. Col du Tormalet, no biggie. Moderate effort.
  8. There goes Carthy off the back. Wish I had a radio feed to hear Vaughters for the lulz.
  9. That is a legit possibility. Real Death Star shit.
  10. Holy shit. I took a few minutes to do some work and it went from 1:45 to over 5 minutes. Yeah, that changes things and makes a Kuss GC more likely if they can keep Soler at bay.
  11. Curious to see if Remco and Quick Step are actually having a bad day or maybe saving up for a monster effort on the Tourmalet. We’ll see shortly…
  12. It’s possible, but I’ll agree with Evenepoel and see Kuss as an outside chance for the GC. That said, I’d like to see what would happen if Seppy strapped in and made an earnest effort at keeping the GC lead.
  13. Could have been an exciting finishing climb if the weather and resulting road conditions weren’t shite. It was cool to see cell phones to record official times once again in this Vuelta.
  14. Bama 27 Texas 16 388 yards
  15. They ‘sposed to be Big 12!
  16. GJ Kinne has his boys ready to play. Very promising for the Bobcats once they get to conference play. I would love it if they hold on to beat Rapelor in Waco.
  17. No progression, no fire, no fight, no leadership. Looks like the worst version of Ewers from last season. Disappointed to put it mildly.
  18. Hell yeah! 3 more points coming!
  19. I get that space is limited on mountaintop finishes, but they should have known that the finish was likely to be contested at high speed, or at least high speed for a climb. Another literal bang up job by the organizers. Shake it off, Remco.
  20. Good thing the race organizers have the unimpeachable data from the spectators personal phones to figure out the bonus points. So far the only thing that feels like a grand tour is seeing Roglic hit the deck early.
  21. Absolutely. What an inexcusable shit show.
  22. What could go wrong, indeed. Already the weather conditions, parcours, and even the damn starting ramp have proven treacherous, as we’ve seen multiple riders slide and have to recover. Fortunately no crashes yet. Hope everyone gets through it intact. Love a TTT, but glad this is a short one.
  23. One of the absolute favorite bands back in the days of my youth in the music scene of D/FW. The recordings could never match their live intensity.
  24. Combine this insanity with large “political rallies” around a cult of personality with ambitions of unlimited power and followers eager and willing to grant that power, and you see where this is headed.
  25. Yeah, that definitely sticks out like a sore thumb. I enjoy that it’s not in total alignment with my own opinions and values. I don’t have to be in complete agreement with someone to appreciate what they’re trying to convey, especially when it’s music, literature, or standup comedy. I want to be challenged and question my own bullshit often. It’s that kind of awkwardness and lack lyrical polish that keeps it in the realm of a good song and not a great song. The performance is earnest and the messages are relatable.
