@BenjiNaesen Tour de France 2003 or Tour de France 2022

In aviation, that paradigm used to be followed. The professional pilot knew best and any input from other non-flight crew was discarded. It caused accidents and lost lives. CRM has moved on in aviation and medicine has learnt lessons as well. Always be prepared to be challenged.

@BenjiNaesen The revelation of the race in my opinion - great signing by V-LaB

[Allen Foster @NoMapNoCompass]

@faustocoppi60 Most of us were expecting minutes on Gall though - could Vingegaard be sick?

[Allen Foster @NoMapNoCompass]

@BenjiNaesen You one of these on pre-order I presume...

@SlowFastJames @BenjiNaesen @faustocoppi60 Only if your surname is Yates

[Allen Foster @NoMapNoCompass]

@faustocoppi60 @BenjiNaesen Yeah, agree, no LOC here but just highlighting that external observations can override any concussion protocol

[Allen Foster @NoMapNoCompass]

@BenjiNaesen @faustocoppi60 In rugby the rule is that if a player is observed to lose consciousness (LOC) during play then they are excluded from further play and do not undergo an HAI. Concussion is a functional injury with complex diagnostic criteria, but LOC is a macro indicator which can't be ignored

[Allen Foster @NoMapNoCompass]

@faustocoppi60 Vingegaard seems to be doing better since he is no longer coached by Heemskerk

[Allen Foster @NoMapNoCompass]

@BenjiNaesen @BreakAlways Exactly, a presenter on a moto harks back to an era when there was no heli coverage, no sophisticated airborne broadcast relay to a director, no polished live feed to commentators in the studio. It doesn't add much except for comic relief, which in fairness Jens isn't bad at!

@BenjiNaesen Egan Bernal needs to leave INEOS for EF and take the pay cut

[Allen Foster @NoMapNoCompass]

@GavinBrowneNI @irishpeloton Amen

[Allen Foster @NoMapNoCompass]

@dnlbenson Considering the last winning streak appeared to come from TUE abuse and poor record keeping from Dr Freeman it will be interesting to see how this all pans out. Sir Dave will be there with hs management speak, but hopefully Dan Benson will also to ask the awkward questions again

[Allen Foster @NoMapNoCompass]

@Plastic_Peloton It looks like an incredible passive-aggressive battle between the brand guide-lines of TotalEnergies vs NetCompany/Ineos. White font on colour, vs colour font on white, who will win?! The highlight of the entire jersey for me is the orange 'zip garage' at the base of the jersey

[Allen Foster @NoMapNoCompass]

@faustocoppi60 But are you saying Vingegaard who beat him in two additions of the Tour de France, dropping him on multiple climbs and in TT's was never a rival?

[Allen Foster @NoMapNoCompass]

@BenjiNaesen Wout van Aert!

[Allen Foster @NoMapNoCompass]

@friebos Talking of Giro 2004, would love to see Isaac del Toro blindside Pogacar in the mountains in the style of Cunego on Simoni. The associated soap opera would be something to behold, with Gianetti acting as agony aunt

[Allen Foster @NoMapNoCompass]

@mrendell Indeed, and replacing a search query with an AI based response rather than an indexed search result. It is moving search from being an objective tool to a tainted subjective one full of hallucinations and opinions. That is not even taking into account the energy waste from AI.

[Allen Foster @NoMapNoCompass]

@jeremycwhittle But at least Seixas doesn't ride for Gianetti and Matxin, maybe now we have someone we can believe in...

Marathon finishing time distribution proves one of my biggest leadership lessons:

Deadlines work! … even if they are somewhat arbitrary
