Haven't seen the Tour de Suisse today, but this doesn't sound good, hope Mader is ok

Its a good watch, but as a cycling fan, it misses out some key bits of last years tour and tries to create drama at stages when there wasn't any, but i think its aimed more at casual fans/non cycling fans.
Decent watch though and hopefully they do more
Yeah Wout Van Aert as panned it as glorifying the “Commotion” I think it’s pretty good anything that shines a light on this brilliant sport is fine by me

The episode with filming of Pidcocks descent in the alps was thrilling.
Unfortunately Gino Mader died following his crash yesterday, really horrifying news! Haven't seen the crash but when you're descending at speeds up to 100kmph with only a helmet for safety is surprising there aren't more crashes like this.
Such a sad loss, he was a promising young rider who had some great results in his career
Tragic tragic news 🙏🏻 RIP Gino I hope magnus sheffield is ok he’s was in the crash with him
I think Sheffield suffered concussion but its the mental impact of this rather than the physical injuries, hope he gets any support he needs, can't have been nice for him to have seen what happened
Yeah sadly we lose cyclists fairly often unlike F1 which seems to have pretty much eliminate fatalities cycling reminds arguably the most dangerous sport
Fred Wright wins the British road race, will be weird seeing Cav wearing Astana colours from now on
Really good to see a proper punchy stage to open up the tour rather than the usual sprint stage, have twin brothers ever finished 1st and 2nd on a stage before? Really good day for the Yates family
Gutted for Cav but it did look like Philipsen blocked Girmay’s sprint watch this space 🧐
Thought he had it for a moment, still a few chances left but Phillipsen looks too good at the moment

Bad fall and injury for Cav, he's had to abandon the tour, hope this isn't the last we see of him but it's not looking good. Currently in an ambulance
Gutted! He's shown in the last few days he's still capable of competing in the sprints, shame for his Tour career to end like this
He’s tied for most tour stage wins with the GOAT Eddy Merckx at 35 and he’s definitely the GOAT Sprinter in front of Mario Cipollini he’s had a great career and left some great memories especially for fans of British cycling like me
*34 wins I guess that’s wishful thinking on my part anyway the tour stops for no one and tomorrow stage is a beauty Pog vs Vinni III 👊🏻💥

The supporters on the roads of the TdF don’t half do my head in! And the bloody motorbikes getting in the way. Grrrr.
Been a fascinating day (watching the highlights).
