He's another article we've jointly written, with the added bonus of a couple of fun videos on calories and questions:- https://www.wsj.com/articles/tour-de-france-or-snore-de-france-1500924635?tesla=y

I guess because Demare won a stage, they certainly didn't do much else. At the end they had 20+ staff working for 3 riders, 2 of which insisted on still sharing a room, for the last x days. :lol:

Yates popped off the front a few times, with some intent.

I think that's a decent summary 1066. I'd add Yates to Dan Martin. Boohoo coming 8th on stage 2. Nobody seems to mention Mathews piling serious pressure on Kittel prior to his crash. Sure it may well have been 'just one of those things', but Bling did have him on the ropes. The jury was...

Sky’s the limiting factor for Chris Froome in Tour de France popularity stakes https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/jul/23/sky-chris-froome-tour-de-france?CMP=share_btn_tw Between us we pretty much wrote this.

Just having a little play. I'm sure a contributor from 'almost Kent' will be along soon to agree with you.

Cycling the sport of the people. From the very best pro to the fat bloke at the side of the road. Men, women, children, all creeds, colour, religion. Whether you be lycra clad warrior, commuter or pootler. A city banker or a poor farmers boy from Brittany, welcome to cycling, unless...

Crap isn't it. You'd think the team was made up of 9 of the very best cyclists in the world, but that couldn't be further from the truth:- - When Rowe and Knees were pressured they caved. - G had a customary whoopsie. - Henao never once got his nose in the wind, irrespective where they put him...

Lots of stadium ticket analysis here:- 888840712346890242 Sounds like a bit of a cock up from all concerned.

With only 2 actual sprinters left in the race, Boohoo is still 12/1 to win tomorrow. Licence to print money. I bet he's shorter odds to come 8th lol.

Which is where Froome would have easily won. He'd have sat on Bardet's wheel for 3 weeks, then won today, about a week after 1066's head exploded. Although if the switcheroo had happened early enough we'd have just finished watching the first GT with 0 kms of time trialling.

This year's tour - That's so yesterday's news. :rolleyes: :lol: I blame 1066 kicking off about Sky!

I've never taken to The Shadow, in much the same mould as Aru, he can duff up the also rans but doesn't have 'it' to take on the big dogs.

He's offski.

Forget Quintana, and let's be honest is anyone surprised about Porte? but other than that you're spot on. So next season's tour could have:- Bardet + team Chaves + team Uran + a bag of spanners Dumoulin + team or meltdown Landa + ? Martin + a leadout train :shrug: Sky didn't exactly have it...

So he never rode for Banesto.

Oh definitely, but they aren't too far off. The same might to said of Sunweb, but that's such a bag of Revels they could end up all peanut or all coffee (see what I did there!! ) Also that's where the parcours changing ought to help, nobody inc Froome is surprised he didn't win a stage, with...

Who the hell is Adam Smith?

That's not entirely fair, AG2R took it to Froome and Sky a couple of times, showing how it can be done. Teams that think they have a chance, have to be smarter, and the way courses are being designed more teams are going to think they have a chance. Don't let 1066 hear you say that. :lol:
