I was happy to see that cav got signed. Even if he's a dud for 90% of the tour, if he wins another stage it's going to be YOUR jersey that he's wearing when he does. I feel like it's a no brainer unless he's absolutely demanding buckets of money, which he may be.

Pidcock is rapidly becoming the next van aert. He seems to be an exceptional cyclist that's good at virtually all disciplines. He did well in a couple of stages at le turr so maybe he'll be more competitive if he's more focused. That is, if he wants to be more focused.

Not sure if anyone has watched any of this persons road DH videos before (going beyond plaid speed in the Alps). I bet this pedal clip at ~1:13 woke up Pidcock.

I really want to grab a classified hub, but they are startlingly expensive, like $2000USD? That's just not worth it for me not matter how cool they are. Would be so neat to have one on my 1x 3T.
Definitely got the bike for it.

Just watched the finish of todays stage of Tirreno. I don't think Cav has the legs anymore to get that last TDF win he's looking for.

I'd love to watch the TTT for Paris-Nice, but GCN doesn't have the rights here, NBC does and all they're showing is BS highlights. They could be showing it live but instead there's an important Law and Order rerun on USA...

I have peacock primarily so I can watch the TDF but my wife got hooked on some garbage shows so we kept it. Turns out they have a lot of cycling coverage, including P-nice so I will watch that from time to time. I honestly find the extended highlights to be the way to watch. I don't have 3 hours to commit and the extended highlights show the good bits without the BS, but a lot more than just the crashes.

I think Cav CAN do it, but the rest of the peloton has gotten so good and the teams are so competitive that I don't know if he'll be in good enough shape when it's go time. WvA is phenomenal to watch
