Wellens and Benoot are the true spring hard men. They do a crazy number of hard hard yards.
Bob and Christian, in their struggle to pronounce names, might have come up with a good nickname in “Teddy Pogotcha”.

I left him off in my quest for the red lantern , but I’m guessing Bootsy gives it a real go.
I’m thankful to not have to hear them call a race. I don’t know why the USA cycling market is so intent on punishing their fans with awful commentators. 
NBC Universal/ Peacock 1) have Phil, Bob, CVV on long contracts, 2) don’t know anyone else to use, 3) aren’t interested in searching for replacements, 4) won’t invest in better talent
That’s my thought

Sigh.
Edit…maybe premature? He’s not exactly riding away with authority.
To be authentic to my 7-Eleven timeline, I would need a a stolen MAD Magazine, a Playboy (if I could get one) and a couple Tastykakes in the back pockets, plus a Slurpee in my bottle cage

I don’t think anything will bring Pog back, but I’m all about this LFF redemption arc.

Who’s “RUBY?” they certainly had a lot of tags on that climb

Yeah, I don’t think Piddles and Healy can do it. Neither can they afford to wait for help.
It’s also a shame that the Women’s broadcast doesn’t start until the Mens is over
Not like anything is happening right now, but it would be a nice gesture to make if available

The difference in capacity from Pog to anyone else in the peloton is breathtaking. I’m not sure I can recall a period with such a disparity.
What about now?
I’m still watching, but I don’t see this coming back unless Pog cracks. This is over unless Valverde catches them all from the masters race behind. LFF and Ciccone either can’t help much or are playing for 2nd. EF in a good place for podium spots. 3 of 9 in the two chase groups.

I’m ready for the women’s race. My disbelief in the state of Pog’s credibility is souring my enjoyment of these races.
He’s so gone

Yeah, I don’t hold it against him, but it’s like watching a Cat 1 sandbag a Cat 4 race. Just zero competitive intrigue.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I want McNutty to get second. He looks capable.

I on the other hand fucking love it. We are watching history in the making. I find it fascinating to see someone be so incredibly good at what they do.
Anthony & Hannah? Or, who’s the other woman they use sometimes? Her name escapes me?
