Tour de France 2015 - may contain nuts and SPOILERS

[HF2300]

ITV are saying chain off

ITV'll say anything

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Surprise push from Froome for 3rd over the top.

 

[Hont]

These attacks from AC, Nibs etc at least look credible compared to years past

Apart from the fact that Nibali was getting dropped for fun a week ago.

 

[jarlrmai]

He's a racer at heart.

 

[HF2300]

It looked like Nibali saw Froome was having problems and decided that was a good time to attack. Canny racing.

Annoyingly, I'm not able to devote my full attention to it because people keep giving me work to do. Pah!

Yes, I was on a crappy Eurosport feed while ITV4 went to ads so couldn't see it clearly. Wait for the replay, I'm sure we'll analyse it to death later

 

[HF2300]

Looking like Bardet in polka dots tonight

Apart from the fact that Nibali was getting dropped for fun a week ago.

He may suffer on the last climb - we'll see

He may suffer on the last climb - we'll see

Yup - killed himself on the way up - then almost killed himself on the way down and will still have to find another 3 minutes just to get on the bottom step of the podium

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I am absolutely certain that Pierre Rolland won't win this.

 

[HF2300]

Handbags between Froome and Valverde

 

[HF2300]

Yup - killed himself on the way up - then almost killed himself on the way down and will still have to find another 3 minutes just to get on the bottom step of the podium

I don't think he cares about the podium now, I think he's after a stage

 

[smutchin]

As they say, form is temporary, class is permanent.

And Nibali is a classy bike rider, no doubt about that.

 

[HF2300]

Rolland now pulling a few seconds out on Nibali again

 

[HF2300]

Nibali ten seconds closer to Rolland now. Either I'm missing something in the ad break or it's fluctuating as the road changes?

 

[roadrash]

Nibali closing the gap now and he's a better descender
