Well this Summer it was never going to be won any other way. Portugal won a thrilling Euros. The Dawg won a scintillating Tour. And as someone once said... "It's a snickers, not a sprint" :kiss:

I haven't even bothered uncorking it, let alone take a sip :wink: :lolol:

There was a split second, in among the panic and confusion during that Ventoux farce, when I actually thought Little Richie was going to give the dawg his bike to continue on. The moment comes at precisely 2:33 in this video.

I'm glad you put in the T&C at the bottom. It's hardly been rocket science has it, unfortunately.

Just finished watching the live coverage back. Hallelujah!!! We finally get a decent GC stage, and what a stage it was too! To be honest I thought Bardet would go for more damage tomorrow rather than today because of tomorrow's descent finish. Attacks from Porte, Aru & Bardet were always...

You've only bet on Bardet because your fantasy place might be under threat. :wink: I'm shocked Porte hasn't blown up yet and even more shocked that he doesn't look like he might now either. I put that down to GC soft pedalling most stages where there could have been people out the back door...

How about reducing the team numbers from 9 down to say 6 for starters? Let in a few more pro conti teams to make some of the numbers back up. Perhaps not back up to the 198 riders, which might also have the added bonus of helping to reduce the crashes. Seems to me that if a team like Sky are...

That's all very well but a Fuente Dé ain't going to happen and we all know it. Mainly because sadly that rider had to abandon, and even Fuente Dé didn't happen against a team like the one Sky have. Those riders that have the ability to pull off something and/or the team to do it with won't...

It's all very well saying the other teams don't want to attack, but with Sky so strong they pretty much know it's futile. Sky don't love cycling as their logo claims. They just want to kill it. Zzzzzzzz.

Only delight from today for me is seeing Majka beaten like that. Still a default winner anyway considering Alaphilippe wins that stage had it not been for the mechanical. Spartacus might want to retire in style tomorrow on home turf, but other than that I'm not really expecting much from...

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

No stage preview for today then SB? Has this Tour finally got to you as well and you haven't the heart to tell us we're in for another day of Sky soft pedalling at the front while the other GC teams watch each other? Meanwhile, the break is 20 minutes up the road and a weasel like Majka wins...

I can imagine. I saw Kelderman getting twitchy on his bike with disc wheel at the back and tri spoke front. I've eaten too many pies, ride an ali alloy to work with nothing deep rim about the wheels and I get scared sometimes from crosswinds whistling up out of side roads. On one of their...

Blimey! :eek: Looks like he overcooked a descent from that pic, rather than crosswind damage. Must have really been going for it as he's usually a superb descender. Perhaps it was the wind that caused the crash though. I had heard he'd crashed but managed to finish ok. Unlike Edward Theuns...

Just finished watching back the recording of the live stage. Only needs one word to describe today really... Farcical. Watching the highlights programme now to see what decision has been made, if any, by the organisers. What a crock of shit this is.

17 minutes for the break now. Hurrah!!!

Just wait until you see coverage of the closing kms alternating between the break and GC and ask me if it matters then. That's just the half of it though. Of course it matters. It's a statement of intent, or more precisely, lack of. There are bonus seconds on the line as well remember.

This is a tour where GVA can win a stage in the mountains and hold onto yellow for a day or two after. Greipel can't win a sprint. Why not go in the break on the Ventoux stage. Perhaps him and Coquard will have a photo finish for the stage win :lolol: This tour is fast rivalling the...

Over 10 minutes for the break again. :facepalm: Great, probably another day in the mountains where GC won't be slugging it out for the stage win.

Loving that stage today. Echelon action always makes for great viewing. Chapeau to Froome, and G too for making it across to him to put in a shift. Sagan is an absolute beast and with Bodnar there too that was the perfect move. :clap2: Froome is an exciting rider like that. If he sees an...
