- Yes, it's nice. Us Europeans still have love and affection in our hearts, unlike the americans, that are full of sh** and always talking about money, money, money. Evety thing there is fake, no honesty, no love and no brains.PogiSloFans09-08-2026
- Cutting Kasia off was not part of SDJ's plan, only having Gery move back between her and Demi was. It was the way that Gery did it, forcing Kasia to brake, that has caused the trouble. Demi was in full attack ahead, not on the radio instructing Gery.Hills3309-08-2026

- Once bitten, twice shy. You can fool some of the people some of the time but not all the people all of the time. These kind of one-off surprise improvements are just that. Her rivals knew to be better prepared this timeJumpyjohn09-08-2026
- All I can see is bad positioning. If you’re expecting a move, you prepare for it. You learn this at the very outset of amateur racing.Jumpyjohn09-08-2026

- Yes, it already disappointed me that she said her win on Ventoux was 'payback' for only being able to manage third before that, as if life owed her that (great!) win. And now she feels she was entitled to cling onto Demi's wheel with gritted teeth yet again. Saying angrily that her team would find a way to get it (the yellow jersey) back took everything away from Demi's performance. But at the same time, if Gery was not French champion she may well have been sanctioned for her move.Hills3309-08-2026
