Nice to hear GT is in good spirits after the finish, with that fairly light-hearted interview!

Yes, I hadn't quite taken that in until I saw the replays.

Stupid phone rang at the wrong time.
Bloody hell, just watched the replay of G's crash. Didn't lose his place in the top 10 though.

Barguil blamed the crash on Tejay, saying his shoulder touched him, but looks to me as if he's nowhere near him.....

I happened to switch to France 2 (setting up for tonight's Major Crimes marathon) and what do France 2 decide to show straight after that stage? A feature on Lance Armstrong's off-roading on that descent. Yes, they really hate dopers in France, eh? 
The legendary Boardman was pretty clear that he thought Barguil was trying to gain places when he hadn't space or time or skill to do so.
Teejay nowhere near Barguil

Yeah, and it wasn't the only place on the descent he tried it either - there were at least another couple of near miss incidents after he'd taken Thomas out. Totally reckless riding. Got a good talking to from one of the other riders as well. Hope he gets a good kicking from the commissaires.

I reckon Tejay will have something to say to him for blaming him in front of the cameras at the finish.

Did he say that on France TV? If that's the line he takes it's worse than the one he took on the road. Because there's clear daylight between Teejay and himself and there was simply no way he was going to get round that bend at that speed on that line. If he doesn't assume responsibility for his own bad judgement he won't learn.
EDIT: Ok, team Barguil have posted the proof of being pushed by Teejay - there is the slightest of contact some way back. Plenty of time to have responded. https://vid.me/Zp3H

I missed the intro to the live racing on ITV4 this afternoon - is the intro to the highlights the same? If so, they've inherited the Murray Walker curse.
