If you’re in need of some sport right now is the end of the Tour de France Femme - and it’s exciting.
Short history of this week. Girl was leading but she crashed - usually the team would wait for their leader and help get them back to the front (it’s a lot more efficient riding with 4 or 5 riders than on your own) but they abandoned her and in fact a teammate won the stage for herself.
They were apparently told to wait for her but ignored the instruction and claimed they didn’t know and their radios didn’t work and other stuff. Theres obviously some internal politics going on.
She went from leading to being 1m15 behind - yesterday she had a good stage getting back a few seconds, today is finishing on Alpe d’Huez and she is off the front at the moment - hovering around 1m20 so if she keeps it up she wins the whole thing.
Then she’s announced she’s quitting the team - which seems an obvious conclusion.
Worth watching - I can get it on Discovery+ - not sure where it would be in the US.
Watched some Big 3 championship, Pickleball, Padel, and a little bit of cricket too. Couldn't get a grasp on cricket I was listening to a podcast at the same time though. Next time I'll have to turn on the sound see if I can follow it better.
At the very end they mention that swimming will now be the second week in LA, pretty interesting
