But back to the race...what happens with Astana now? Aru will do TdF and I presume Birdsong will too....joint leadership and see how it plays out??

I was out so tried to watch it live on Eurosport Player on my phone. This is what was on the channel that claimed to be showing the cycling:

I see cheating by holding onto cars runs in the Nibali family, Antonio DQed today.
So we've not seen Froome so out of form so close to the Tour before. What chance? Is he taking a more focused build up or is he losing his top end. The last two TdeF wins have each been a weaker performance than the previous. I'm left wondering if he's still got it, if he's as hungry for it.

It's going to be a very exciting TDF! Excellent riding by Fugslang and Porte. Martin and Aru looking strong too. Not so much Froome, Contador and Valverde who must be riding for Quintana now. Exciting.
I have to say I've been very disappointed by Eurosport's coverage though. Dumped onto E2 and not much coverage of the actual stages. The TV guide seemingly didn't know what would be shown live or not. Then the highlights haven't been very good especially today. 1hr 30 minutes is a long time but it just threw us into the last climb and didn't say what had happened to Porte. Probably more a commentator problem than a pictures problem. It took ages for them to say what the stage bonuses were then their maths were shocking! This race is a fairly big deal in the world of cycling.

He's lost it.
If he goes and creams the Tour, the Clinic (and others) will be apopleptic!

Not in your TdeF fantasy team, then?
