It is something that seemingly does not happen so much in cycling anymore, but remains a sad reality. The Tour de France caravan has woken up today with unfortunate news that one of it's teams was a victim of mass theft. French team TotalEnergies had 11 bikes stolen overnight.
Jean-René Bernaudeau, team manager, has told RCM Sport this morning: "This is annoying, but the riders are not upset by it. We still have bikes in stock. The fact that we no longer have the toolboxes is especially annoying."
It is not clear the exact details of the theft but it is reported that the bikes of stage 9 Anthony Turgis and Thomas Gachinard were stolen. A total of €14.000 in financial damage was inflicted, it is not certain whether the rest of the bikes stolen were complete or just the frames. However it is known that besides bikes, the robbers also stole the team's toolboxes which are key for the mechanics' jobs.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
