    They had a half price offer for a while of 20€ for the year, which is what I got as well.
    Normal price is €40 for the year, which is fantastic if it worked reasonably. Too many times for me it doesnt load, or just gives the red GCN screen when a race is supposed to be on.

    Why is the internet saying Carapaz is now the only man for Ineos? Thomas is only 5 seconds behind? Seems a bit mad to write a lad off completely because of a bad ending to a stage

    Because he had a bit of a grimace crossing the line, along with about half the peleton.

    He lost about 17 seconds to Pog and Rog on the final ascent and couldn't stay with his own train. Carapaz had no such issue.

    Thomas will put 90s+ into Carapaz in the TT

    Chris Froome said in an interview he was in the hospital/with the doctors til half one. How do they keep going? Keep their concentration?

    Their mechanics pulled an all nighter.
    I'd say most of the teams got little sleep last night.

    Must have been hard work today for them all.

    It's easy to forget about behind the scenes.

    Very early days in the tour. There's a train of thought now that winding up your fitness over the first week is the best way to go about a grand tour. We'll see over the next three weeks if it works or not.

    Fair play to Brian Smith he gave the mechanics and their work a mention today during commentary.

    Froome had a video up earlier. I'm sure there was more than just himself in that situation.

    Can't find it now but there was also a video of Matt While shouting at a mechanic from the car as he'd run passed them, missing them in the chaos yesterday.

    EDIT: it's at the end of this one

    My main complaint with GCN was not having the Suisse rights for Ireland. Since they've had the firetv app, I've ditched eurosport player.

    I've watched a couple of the legend shows, but not many of the documentaries, but I can see those being regular winter turbo base training fair.
