Now you got me hooked on that.

Quote from: Glüc on Yesterday at 04:41:24 PMI don't really use yt music.

If there only was one single platform everyone would use...

I don't really use yt music. Is it different from just a playlist of the videos? All the video links are in the original post with the groups, but I used some online playlist generator to make a list: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=TLGGdAXWpqgg3Q4xMzA3MjAyNg

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on Yesterday at 02:22:04 AMTalossa has been online for so long that not only did we probably have a website with a good Frutiger Aero look when it was the norm, we probably had something even older-looking, haha

Behold - in its glory - Talossa's national website as of March 1999.

Note that this was when Sir Tamoran dal Nava, was Seneschal, and KR1's favourite person, before KR1 rewrote the history Big Brother style to turn him into a monster.

Made a playlist for the current groups (note it has a different version for Step Right Up, because I couldnt find the live at Rockpalast version on spotify). Will maybe try to keep this updated.

Will there be a YT Music version? I don't have Spotify.

Stage 9   »   Malemort  ›  Ussel

The stage was shortened yesterday because of the extreme heat. A short stage usually means a lot of activity however, and the hilly terrain favoured attackers, so everyone wanted to be the in the break, thinking an attack would likely be succesful. It would take a long time before a definite break was formed, eventually including Van der Poel (REX/VFL), T.H. Johannessen (GHS/VFL), Pidcock (REX/EVC), Baudin (GHS/CHX), and a couple others. Only these four reached the finish before the peloton, where some riders never quite gave up the fight and made it a close race until the very end. Van der Poel won the sprint, followed by Johannessen and Pidcock.

A much reduced peloton finished only 6 seconds behind the quartet with Pedersen (MMM/REX/EVC) finishing in 6th place overall. The only rider from the top 10 GC not to be present in the peloton and dropping out of contention for top 10 was Vacek.

It was a big score for Els Talossaes Rexhital, who take over the lead from the Menceis in the standing.

Today is a much needed restday. Tomorrow, we will go into the Massif Central for a stage with a lot of vertical meters spread out over many climbs. A day for the more punchy climbers and gc guys, with Pogacar realistically being the big favourite.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 10:43:57 AMThe heat is absurd... I saw a story on it and how everyone is basically swaddling themselves in ice when they're not competing.

Yeah it's wild. I get nauseous just thinking about having to physical exercise for more than 10 minutes at 40C, and these guys just do 150-200 km of cycling at high speed in those temperatures day after day. How do they even think about stagewins or classifications? I'd only be concerned with not actually dying...
