Somehow, the tags seem spoiled.

...such a clear departure from her line and then an insane domino crash. Relegated. Not DQ'ed. It actually seems a FAR worse move than the one that got Sagan booted from the Tour with his argy-bargy with Cav.

Come on! Is Stage 20 and 21 still top secret intel????

Who do you have winning this upcoming season? I'm going with... ...the Baltimore Ravens!

Woot!!! The US is KICKING the AZZ of the World!!!! 3 out of 10 spots going to the US. U-S-A!!! U-S-A!!!! U-S-A!!!! For the folks that like to read the drivel, click here.

It would go nice with his yellow car. https://www.bikeradar.com/features/pro-bike/peter-sagan-tour-de-france-bike/

...and I tucked a bunch of <SPOILER> stuff in there for the softies who don't know who won the TdF Green Jersey this year The S-Works Venge Disc Sagan 7x Limited-Edition frameset will cost $7000, with a portion of all proceeds going to the OUTRIDE Foundation, an organization dedicated to proving that cycling benefits your brain. Through research, cycling programs, and grant-giving activities, OUTRIDE provides evidenced-based cycling interventions to improve social, emotional, and cognitive health. I'm fine with this selling out since I don't really like the paint job. Neat that it is different on either side, but not so great I would buy it.

...at the Tour coverage yesterday? If he was recording Stage 21 on NBCSports and expected to get the whole stage? I know I was shocked at the old switcheroo to regular NBC. Sort of nutso to jump the main coverage around like that - even if it is to get a bigger audience on the regular NBC channel. Likewise, I assume he got the same e-mails I did which only left the Polka Dot jersey out of the "spoiled" category: BTW, when is the TdF results considered "okay to discuss openly"? I don't remember there being much of an embargo on the Super Bowl or the Stanley Cup winners, so why is the TdF special????

...from swapping places with each other depending upon how they feel????

...and getting dropped by an old man

A "new" steepest hill - and it is in WALES!!!! No more Pittsburgh vs Dunedin. It is all Wales ---------------------------------------------------------- Cyclists hunting for the steepest climb in the world will not need to travel across to New Zealand any more as a small street hidden in North Wales has claimed the title. The town of Harlech has usurped Baldwin Street in Dunedin, on New Zealand's South Island, to take the prize of the world's steepest road. The newly-crowned champion road is Ffordd Pen Llech, a narrow, winding residential street that local residents are claiming holds an average gradient of 37.5%, 1% higher than Baldwin Street, with a knee-crunching 1:3 gradient. Measurements were taken in Wales back in January with the decision made from guidelines that state the record will be based on the maximum gradient of a 10-metre distance and the altitude gained in that span. Local residents in Wales who spoke of Guinness, the body which officiates the records, were specific on its requirements and how there were worried as to whether the 10th metre to be measured would meet requirements. Eventually, it did and Guinness World Records then found Ffordd Pen Llech to be the winner. Despite the road being part and parcel of life in Harlech for many years, local residents only noticed its World Record potential in January with resident Gwyn Headley the first to make the claim. Talking to BBC Radio Wales at the beginning of the year, Headley said, 'I was driving down it in the summer when it struck me how steep it could be.' Headley helped lead Wales to the title and on the announcement of the road's victory told The Guardian: 'I feel utter relief and jubilation. I feel sorry for Baldwin Street and the New Zealanders, but steeper is steeper.' vs my pic from NZ:

Destined for the trash heap, one must assume. Or does this buff right out?

...in this new Specialized ad.

...riding today at the TdF! A beautiful day for a ride, but likely a sprinter or breakaway stage, eh?

...who is more dominant? The greatest female (and maybe overall) tennis player of all time or the scrappy US women who have won two World Cups in a row?

England 1, USA 2 at the half

Who here besides Maxi is watching? I'm not but following on my phone. 1- nil in the 55th minute.

2 - 0 82nd minute USA USA USA...

The Blues will win their first Stanley Cup. Mrs Roper told me.

Emma is smart, but she is no substitute for James.

I have confirmed the results for those interested. James loses tonight. 2Far's post was accurate in every way.
