Tour de France 2013 *spoilers*

[Strathlubnaig]

The 3 sprinters were out on their own for quite a ways, it was an out and out head to head for them, the lead out trains were not so much a factor by then.

Bit of an anti climax, cracking sprint by Kittel though. Chapeau.

Not really, it was a great climax - just a disappointment that Cav didn't win it.

Steegmans was Cav's last man and was shot before the last bend

 

[SWSteve]

Disappointed for Cav.

Where did Richie Froome finish? I heard a lot about him on ITV's commentary but I can't seem to find him in the overall list?

 

[smutchin]

Jeez, watching the final stage is almost unbearable - it takes less time for my HR to settle back down after doing a sprint myself...

 

[Pedrosanchezo]

Kittel was the fastest imo. I am sure Cav will say similar in an interview.

Chapeau Kittel.

Not really, it was a great climax - just a disappointment that Cav didn't win it.

The climax I was wanting was a Cav win, Froome in yellow. So bit of an anti-climax. The sprint was great, but the climax of it was not what I was looking for.

ITV have just said Sagan pulled a monster wheelie. Need to see this

Did Sky Sports bid for the TdF coverage?

Great interview with G and Kennaugh just now. Lovely boys.

Same here - I wouldn't be watching cycling (and probably wouldn't be doing it either) if it wasn't available on Freeview.

I don't know what kind of bid they put in but, as it stands, they get plenty of free Sky coverage from the channels that put in winning bids.
