Kinda flat not being able to root for Cav there. Hey ho. Even the fella who finished last gets my utmost respect. As for Froome, mega.

Right. Both ITV4 and Eurospurt start live coverage at 3.30.

Today's stage kicks off later, for an evening finish.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority will congratulate Froome and not give the team a thought either way. The Sky thing makes no sense to me. Why sponsor a team but not cover its sport? The cultural thing runs too deep to change even in the mid term. Cyclists are respected over the channel but...

You've missed your own point fella which was to allude to how a nation would respond to home success in their blue riband event. Over here we will love Froome winning, but not to bunting level which is exactly how France would handle it if a frenchie were to beat an englander in the men's...

No. Imagine how the country would react if this country had an English fella in the Wimbledon final. That would be a great afternoon to go to Bluewater because every other fukka would be in front of the TV. The TDF is massive for the French nation because it is theirs and has so much history...

Well, it is their effing event. And the second biggest annual show on earth. So will it be a poor man's sprint title today? The winner can hardly celebrate knowing that the competition was decimated.

Pretty sure I just saw someone waving an Albion flag.

Has Tony Martin followed through?

It certainly was because the riders didn't buy into it. I think it could only 'work' if you were to have it early on, say straight after the first stage TT of this tour. I appreciate that might negate the TT result.

I hope Froome wins today. If he's gonna win the whole thing he ought have a stage win along the way. Still think its turned out the most unexciting stage. The organisers rolled the dice and lost.

While I don't want to sound ungrateful that there was no TTT this year but as tomorrow is a formality (sprint world championship) what is the point of having the first and last proper stage as a TT? Shite viewing but also even if there is a change of yellow, what an anticlimax that would be.

0% fat, nice. Good stage. Michał Kwiatkowski did a good impersonation of me today. :down:

Those roads were pretty scary yesterday up and down that last hill. Mental descending speeds.

Well I thought today was a great stage. Tony Martin was barely moving as he got caught. And as for that fella slaloming up... Unbelievable scenery.

Ah well. Even the final stage is over already. The gorilla will have too much water in his eyes to see properly, so an easy one for Kittell.

Home alone and making the most of Sky catch up to see Thursday's action.

I've been out so missed it. The shitgibbons on Sky News spoke about the correct stage but showed yesterdays finishes though.

I was watching live on Eurospurt. The conversation about Aru's naughtiness was very funny. One fella was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but the other was having none of it, laughing as he observed that Aru had a good smell of Froome's armpit as he went past. Porte dodged one...

Has Aru had a pep talk from Nibali? What a swine. That crash was a sickener. HTBF did Dan get up from that? Hope its just precautionary for Porte.
