New Cycling season

Gotta love Paris-Roubaix…

6 riders sustained fractures in the men’s race, one of whom finished.

4 more DNFs due to injury.

1 finisher with facial snitches. Another after undergoing concussion protocols.

In the women’s race just 3 main injuries, 2 of which required hospital attention, the worst for a broken hip.

Said it before, but they’re tough little so and so’s. Genuinely deserve every penny.
 
Chapeau to Simon Yates for an amazing attack yesterday that’s won him the Giro d’Italia assuming he stays upright during today’s final parade stage.

Some dumb tactics from other teams helped, but total redemption for his 2018 meltdown on the same mountain. Then he led for 10 days or so until Froome blew him to smithereens with his incredible race winning attack from even further out.

This time he’s ridden a very smart race - always in touch in and around around the top 3, but today - the only one that matters - will be his first in the Maglia Rosa.
 
If Pog stays rubber side down then it’s almost certainly job done. Very early to say that, but he’s on a different level this year.
 
What’s left to say? Just brushed off yesterday’s crash and totally destroyed a very good field.

Generational talent. Still only 26, but already one of the greatest ever cyclists, well on the way to becoming the GOAT on 2 wheels and a likely contender for overall GOATdom by the time he retires.

Well first man to do the Tour / World Championship double two years in a row.

Totally brutal course that he made look relatively easy. Just 30 out of 169 finished.

Only really the final classic Il Lombardia to go now. And it's not like Pogacar has won it for the last 4 years or anything….

And fair play to the UCI for selecting Rwanda to host the World Champs. Spectators came out in massive numbers.
