                That’s not me, to be clear. That’s the current Tour de France champion on a random training ride.

                No mortal is averaging 30mph on a century ride. None.

                I mean, unless the whole fucking thing is downhill. A steep downhill.

                        Back in my triathlon days, I remember I would get up to 35 mph on a downhill and it felt incredibly fast and dangerous.

                        Another great story from 89th!

                          On one particularly long and steep downhill on a century run - back in the day - I was passing cars - and it was a 50 mph speed limit. I was TERRIFIED thinking that almost anything on the road or any mishap would send my splattered for a long distance. I kinda decided to avoid doing that kind of speed on hills after that. Once you're past warp 10, there's nothing to be done - even touching the brakes would be quite dangerous.

                            Some dramatic crashes during the last 5k into Dunkirk yesterday, stage 3.

                            One chap somersaults into the barrier, also the Green Jersey leader out with a broken collar bone.

                            Busy day for les paramedics
