It is well known that PowerDot has developed transparent electrodes. Brailsford rides in the team car controlling each rider like a puppet master. What device connects Brailsford's commands and the electrodes? Why, a small white device in the rider's pocket, of course! Evenepoel must be copying the Sky/Ineos/Grenadiers strategy. :)

Apparently the UCI didn't get your memo, today kicking the Frenchman out of the yellow jersey and putting the Brit in yellow for a rinky-dink feeding violation on what was practically a rest day.

Great reply.
Some UCI rules may be goofy, but "Primacy of Man over Machine" is the best guiding principle they ever stated.
The weight limit made manufacturers focus on making solid, reliable parts instead of stupid light unsafe stuff. btw, I saw Caleb Ewan's bike is 0.5 kg over the limit. Extra weight should really hurt such a tiny guy, but he's very happy to prioritize performance over weight.
If dark ages means bikes not looking like bikes then I'm all for the dark ages.

I think the right thing to do here would be a monetary fine to quickstep for being so stupid as to give out a bottle inside 20km....and not just CHF 1000. Something like CHF 50000. But don't charge any time penalty. Make the point and remind everyone that there will be no tolerance when it really matters. But I guess the sanction is fixed so I guess you either enforce it or not.
The sad thing here tonight is a team soigneur is feeling like crap for being unable to measure where the 20.0001 km to go point is and causing the loss of the yellow jersey.

Maybe what Evenepoel was carrying in his backpocket is made by the same company that makes Romain's Bardet HR monitor. It looks a bit strange to me, and unnecessarily big. Anybody can identify it? It is from Today's tour stage.
