Tour de France 2015 - may contain nuts and SPOILERS

Bosh, good work team sky

Sky really aren't good for entertainment, are they? Much like the sponsor...

I agree, but don't forget this is the first mountain stage and basically a flat stage with only 1 finishing climb.
GT has shown he can do this, the question is more if he will be able to hang on in every mountain stage (and with multiple climbs)

Indeed, totally agree with all that, but it's still great to see him finishing ahead of specialist climbers like Rolland, not to mention Contador, Nibali, Tejay etc.

He's even been very sporting and not contested the finish with Valvpiti, thus ensuring I get points for the cheating Spaniard's 5th place in the predictor competition.

Good work Yates.

The Telegraph seem to have forgotten Froome's nationality - do you think they are trying to make a point?

 

[MisterStan]

Tee hee. I think I'll just pop over to the Clinic to see how they are taking this

I'd say meltdown would be the understatement of the century.

 

[DazTheDJ]

Is there a link to this clinic? It sounds as entertaining than the racing

 

[Wafer]

Quite a statement from Sky... Porte nicking the extra couple seconds time bonus, G tagging on the back of his group (and why not) but chasing any attempts to get away....
Impressive.

Sir Christopher Froome.

Double tour winner... If not then maybe the honours list needs a look at

You're not wrong.

. Smoke issuing.
Have to admit I'm having trouble believing it, but in the absence of evidence I suppose I'll just have to suspend disbelief.

It's really not a nice place

Because of others' past form or because he just blew them all out of the water?

 

[MisterStan]

That would be a close 2nd for the understatement of the century!!

 

[raindog]

First sodding mountain in the race, still 2 weeks to go, and the GC is all over.....

Nibali, Contador all got dropped before the pace went up.
Inexplicably poor
