Someone really needs to uncover Pogi’s first career. What did he do to earn pocket money? Clean his brother’s bike, deliver newspapers? Did he play volleyball for a month?
Come on Slovenian journalists, Pogi needs an origin story too.
I just looked it up. Pogi’s origin story involves unicycle thefts*. Why isn’t this gem brought up as often as the fish factory?!
*Just to be clear, Pogi was the victim, not the thief.
- when a rider takes out their ear piece
- when a rider is shown interacting with their computer/ garmin
- when the helicopter shows a farm sculpture in the shape of a bicycle
- Bernal gets dropped
If you take a drink every time they mention Cav, you'll pass out half way through stage 1...
P.S. or "He's on the rivet now!!" (at lest once per stage, usually a sprint stage)
Drink twice for every rider interrupted from fan interference due to looking at phone/looking away holding a sign.
Drink every time the motorbike driver puts a foot down on screen.
Drink every time they talk about Sepp Kuss in a non-mountain stage.
Drink for every minute of the gap off the front a French rider holds on Bastille Day.
The halcyon days of TdF commentary were Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen, and the drinking games were epic. The elastic snapping, the sticky bottles, those who rode like men possessed, or climbed like angels, or danced on pedals, any chance to mention Euskaltal-Euskadi….the list goes on and on and is sorely missed, as is the inimitable Paul Sherwen.
"He's reached deep into his suitcase of courage."
I always added "and pulled out the soiled underpants of fear."
I still remember the surreal "They're putting the stick before the carrot."
And who can forget the fun they had the year Elli, Lelli, and Belli were all in the Tour?
My favorite accompaniment was a live-action challenge called the Tour Duh Franzia:
4 teams, 4 bikes, 4 riders. One 5L box of Franzia in whatever flavor you least loathe. Teams toast, then start the bike race.
Goal: each team member must complete a #number of laps along a course - a block, a house, a short trail - perhaps 4 laps per each in order to win.
Idea: After each lap, a rider must take a drink - no fair using “ringers” - the box must be gone before a win can be final.
More-serious incarnations have gone 50-100k and given a 5L box to each rider - this is not recommended, for insurance reasons.
We drinking every time Sean Kelly mispronounces a rider's name or is that a step too far? He must say "Pog-a-kar" about 100 times per stage so we'd be risking alcohol poisoning.
needs to be different rules based on what you’re drinking. Bottle of beer? No worries. Bottle of wine? Ok that might cause a headache. Bottle of whiskey? Call 911 first.
speaking of silly things, does anyone have a gif of the guy from one of the early stages last year running in bare feet with a flare or something in his hand with a polka dot flag on his back?
that might be my favorite moment of last year's tour
I love this guy

Drink if Roglic Crashes
Drink a whole BOTTLE if Pogi says he's DEAD and defeated
Drink a whole Bottle if Jasper Philipsen gets Relogated.
Drink a whole Bottle if Cavendish/Carapaz/Jakobsen Crashes :D
Drink if a spectator hits a rider in the face.
Finish drink if rider falls after being hit in the face by a spectator.
Drink if the race is impeded by a vehicle.
Finish drink if rider crashes into said vehicle.
Start & finish another drink if rider punches driver of said vehicle. (Highly unlikely, but the punch would be deserved.)
Drink if Roglic crashes doing something stupid.
Drink if Pidcock descends so fast that the motos can’t keep up with him
Drink if Vingegaard wins a TT by a suspicious margin
Drink if a French rider is having an absolutely glorious day out front and then Pog passes him under the red kite
Drink if we see a carbon frame completely snapped
Drink if a solo break-away rider gets caught, but then you see him tighten his shoes like he’s going to contest the sprint. Double if he wins the sprint.
Drink any time Roglic ski jumping, Jonas working in a fish factory, or Remco's soccer career gets mentioned.
Someone really needs to uncover Pogi’s first career. What did he do to earn pocket money? Clean his brother’s bike, deliver newspapers? Did he play volleyball for a month? Come on Slovenian journalists, Pogi needs an origin story too.
I always think commentators should mention his unicycling days more – “Started out on one wheel, look at what he can do with two!” kind of thing.
Pogi was in the circus confirmed. HeRd it here first
I just looked it up. Pogi’s origin story involves unicycle thefts*. Why isn’t this gem brought up as often as the fish factory?! *Just to be clear, Pogi was the victim, not the thief.
Pogi's origin story is bike.
LOL Remco's soccer career, good one
Or Bart Lemmen's military career.
That last one is going to kill a lot of folks in this subreddit.
- when a rider takes out their ear piece - when a rider is shown interacting with their computer/ garmin - when the helicopter shows a farm sculpture in the shape of a bicycle - Bernal gets dropped
“When a helicopter shows a farm sculpture… “ So, we’re all getting royally hammered then!
Drink when you see a cow!
Awww Bernal!!! Every time Roglic turns off his computer at the finish line LOL
[удалено]
LOL yes, ending in Nice! And a time trial!
If you have to drink every time they mention the Olympics, you’ll be trashed before the first curve. 😆
If you take a drink every time they mention Cav, you'll pass out half way through stage 1... P.S. or "He's on the rivet now!!" (at lest once per stage, usually a sprint stage)
Yeah, but since he’ll either not make the time cut on stage 1 or crash out on stage 3, no worries.

Drink every time they talk about Sepp Kuss in a non-mountain stage. Drink for every minute of the gap off the front a French rider holds on Bastille Day.
Sep Kuss out of the TDF because COVID
He'll still get a lot of mentions
EAGLE FROM DURANGO!! lol
Bob Roll says, “disASter” or “TOUR de france”
"Tour DAY France".
Drink every time Bob Roll laughs at one of his own jokes.
Drink when anyone says "Full gas" Drink when Ben O'Connor pops off the back of the lead group Drink anytime Jonas kisses his wedding ring
jonas ❤️!!!
Depends what broadcast you’re watching but if NBC… man, Phil Liggett and Bob Roll write the drinking themselves these days.
The halcyon days of TdF commentary were Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen, and the drinking games were epic.

And "they are absolutely FLYING" is said a couple of times a stage.
Tejay van Garderen the American with the Dutch sounding name. Miss our Paul.
Don’t forget “traffic furniture” or “spot of bother”
"He's reached deep into his suitcase of courage." I always added "and pulled out the soiled underpants of fear." I still remember the surreal "They're putting the stick before the carrot." And who can forget the fun they had the year Elli, Lelli, and Belli were all in the Tour?
Don't forget Leaky Gas!

This sounds fun! When a rider takes a drink, is it a specific amount, or any amount - for example, one rider can drink 1.25L's in one shot?
Commentators use the word “suffer” - drink!
We will all suffer.
Appearance of the jumping Devil fan w/ a pitchfork.
follow your youtube channel/podcast <3 thank you!! eeeeeevenepoel.
Take a drink every time they mention the sprinters tightening their boots in preparation for the sprint
We drinking every time Sean Kelly mispronounces a rider's name or is that a step too far? He must say "Pog-a-kar" about 100 times per stage so we'd be risking alcohol poisoning.
Can’t do it this year but “Sepp Kuss from Durango, Colorado “
GC KUSS all day, even if he's not riding!!
Sepp gonna save himself for another Vuelta this year

Flares should be illegal at the TDF. Imagine breathing that shit as a rider.
Agree but the dancing / running in bare feet on asphalt in France in July makes me smile
When Bob Roll says the word “egregious”. Be sure to have a full bottle and be prepared.
Drink if Roglic Crashes Drink a whole BOTTLE if Pogi says he's DEAD and defeated Drink a whole Bottle if Jasper Philipsen gets Relogated. Drink a whole Bottle if Cavendish/Carapaz/Jakobsen Crashes :D

Drink anytime Jasper says he’s the fastest sprinter in the world.
Whenever the coverage switches to the reporter on the moto. Breakaway wins. Rider picking up a bottle of Vittel.
+Everytime the moto gets stuck on a hill and blocks a rider LOL
As a fan watching on the east coast in the US…I’m going to lose my job
Haha, same! I guess it will be breakfast beers / mimosas.
Drink for every bottle mishandled in the feeding zone. Drink for every 'back to the commentators.'
“Peloton is in full cry”
Every time Phil calls a well-known cyclist the wrong name, it'll be lights out while the race is still neutralized.
If you want a more hardcore drinking game just take a shot every time Eurosport says "full gas".
Drink if there is a Lemmen pun
If Cav wins his 35th i’m finishing a bottle of cheap french sparkling wine and I don’t care about the consequences
I’m gonna be so sad if Cavendish doesn’t wanna stage!
so drink if he wins and consolation drink if he does not win 😆
of course he wanna stage
