    The Official 102nd Tour de France, thread.

    Is there a chance that Froome will not ride the tour again given the way the French idiots are treating him, and as others have said they are not treating known users in the same way?

    The Official 102nd Tour de France, thread.

    Fair enough, I agree that he must have lied yesterday, but that is OK in the French press as it is not Froome and his juiced army! I understand what you are saying and probably agree but it was an interesting viewpoint from the podcast

    But it is to the high end equipment surely? They will be designing brakes to allow milliseconds on a descent, as such I think its fair game. However don't get me wrong I want Froome to win

    I listened to the telegraph podcast last night and think they made a fair point. With all this marginal gain business now, and such reliance on technology - if you have designed technology with a view to beat your rivals because of it, if it fails is it not just game on?

    So could there be a deal between the 2 of them for G to help Froome this year and the other way round next, just thought of that after watching slaying the badger the other day

    Is there not a chance of Froome moving on now a la Wiggins, if so though would that just mean that someone like G would become the main rider or would they bring someone else in like Nibs?

    All done, sad sight to see, he looked in a bad way as he got off the bike, I know its alot of emotions but he almost didnt look there in mind and looked wiped out

    Which one was that Stat, what is the best podcast so far, I want to listen to one during the final week but only have time for one

    You cannot have that in cycling, a lot of it is based on who is around you - be it your team or another train you get on to. My view is yes he made a mistake, there was a little bump just before it which in a game that is all about millimetres (see Greg Lemond the other day saying that if his...

    Much clearer map, thank you. The breakaway will win today I think looking at this stage, Yellow jersey and GC contenders to take it easy in the Peleton, although it must be time that someone has to put the pressure on. I think today may show if the GC boys are just looking to cement a decent...

    Five years ago, in the neighboring city of Bourg-lès-Valence, Mark Cavendish claimed his thirteenth of 26 stage wins to date. Valence has its derivation from the Latin word valentia, meaning strength or capacity. With one already in the bag, will the Cavendish of today bring the fortitude...

    So ITV is no better than Eurosport (I do not mind them too much) as in that case I will stick with Eurosport in SD

    The Official 102nd Tour de France, thread.

    So I have been on Eurosports and love Lemond on tour although is there any argument as to moving to ITV4 when they come on for the stage - my eurosports is SD where as ITV4 is HD but I am happy to lose video quality for better commentary. So in a long way I am asking is the stage commentary...

    Exactly what I do - HD coverage as well, you can rewind live TV, got in late from work and just rewound to watch the 90 min highlights from today that started at 7, can also go through the adverts then as well! Great day today and glad to see not as many casualties as were talked about yesterday

    Is anyone else worried about the speed - yesterday was the quickest ever TT and today they are talking about how high the speeds are given the conditions, I really hope this does not turn in to another 1998
