If know you me, you know that I have a complicated relationship with pro cycling, where I gave it the best years of my life, it stabbed me in the back and shoved me out in my prime, but then launched me to a better life than I ever could have dreamed of. To be honest (other than when someone texted me that a friend was going to win the stage) I haven’t watched a bike race since 2016. I was always turned off by some doper in the pack or the commentary booth, but folks liked the podcast series, and a ton of you asked me to keep it going during the Tour. Maybe this will be healthy for me.
I have done hundreds of pro races, I know these guys and the teams and a lot of what’s going on and I have plenty of inside squawk and gossip. I’ll give you the summary, tell you what I’m seeing that might be a little different from what they’re saying on TV, but mostly I’m looking to enjoy it together.
Yesterday was a time trial that ended with a big margin of victory, and today we saw another big gap in the mountains. All of the comments lately have been asking about doping, so I figure this is a good chance to get into it before we do the regular stage update.
