Cavs win was pretty cool also 
Yes, Cavendish deserved that win big time, he rode almost 200 km in that break!

There's a suggestion she might have had cosmetic surgery.  Considering Texas has the death penalty, I think cosmetic surgery is a far smaller sacrifice.  It also suggests she was considering spending the rest of her life on the run.  Only problem, there are few countries that won't extradite someone to the US where I'd suspect an American might want to live.

Stay for the metaphors:

"I acted like a dog with two dicks for the first hour"

"She moves through the peloton like a Zwift beacon."

"
Disc brakes are screeching like a primary school kid’s first violin lesson."

"the course is tighter than a cat's anus."

yet, despite the above, it has "cluster fck"

Not sure which thread it should be posted in but Alex Dowsett posted a video on his YouTube calling it a career with the world tour. He hasn’t said what he’s going to do next other than it’s still going to be bike related, but sad to see him go- he was a fun guy to root for and it was always interesting to see what tech he was using

True it typically goes the other way. Sadly I suspect this will jeopardize the sponsorship.
Reminds me of the Tinkoff situation, which of course, affected sponsorship. They have the tour winner (and Wout/Primoz) so generally I would assume they could find another sponsor.
