With so many changes to startlists, could someone remind me of the original billings? Was it a Pog vs Remco show down for the Giro and Pog vs Vingegaard show down for TdF?

If so, Pog has a decent chance at the Stephen Roche triple crown.

Pog wasn’t originally going to the tour and changed his mind quite late, might have been after the crash. Tour was supposed to be Jonas vs Remco vs Roglic

Giro was always Pog “vs” Thomas

Vaughters is very good actually. And Kelly is nuts. Hilarious.

Orla had an off fashion day.

They should've led with "How do you say 'Good Morning' in America?" If they did, I missed it

They did. They doubled down on the whole howdy y'all thing. I don't believe I've ever heard anyone say Howdy y'all.
Y'all, sure. Howdy, yes. But never howdy y'all.
Blimey. Strange, innit?

DAYUM! That was exciting. GC bros, sprinters, long range attackers all involved.

Gnar rode one hell of a ride, unfortunately Pog had a quick VO2 max session in today's training plan.

Now *that* was a nail-biter.

Meanwhile in Hungary, DJ Breadsticks pulls off a nice sneaky win. I always sort of forget that he has a helluva kick.

Gnarly. He's got some serious pop. Was looking like Sagan 2015.

Trek has to be bummed. Visma done stoled it.

Orla had a good day.

Do you mean after Venga's crash? This is false. He had announced he was going for the double way earlier than that. I recall we discussed it here, and myself and a few others were critical as we would like to see him racing Venga on fresh legs and not with excuses for another 2nd place.

Great racing today at the Giro, what an attack by Narvaez, unfortunately the finish line came about 30 m too far for him. Hopefully he wins another stage, really like his aggressive style.
