Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

[coffeejo]

This loop is playing havoc with the tracker. Currently showing the whole field except Thomas ahead of the yellow jersey.

It's playing havoc with my brain. They've gone under the Flamme Rouge and we've gone for an ad break.

Tracker now showing the race leaders as the second group of stragglers. Majka et al. have apparently been abducted by aliens.

Silly time to have an ad break, they're normally quite good at not doing that.

I think ITV has missed every significant moment today. Where did Astana go.

 

[HF2300]

I'd guess Sky turned the wick up, brought Aru back and cracked Astana in the process, but frankly who knows?

The helicopter footage at 16.8kms to go is amazing.

Good point! One minute there were 3 of them, then Aru attacked? Now where are any of them? Is the radio commentary any use? Albeit on a slight delay...

 

[HF2300]

Amazing road. Bluddy steep, mind.

Yes, they also missed Zakarin having a mechanical and still don't seem to know what happened!

Bardet's glasses will make a nice prize for a spectator.

 

[Louch]

Think the two cars behind him left them in pieces

 

[coffeejo]

If I overcooked a corner on a descent like Majke, I wouldn't be hugging the frame for the rest of it.

 

[HF2300]

Don't know if Majka might have just suckered Pantano.

Edit - no, he has taken the front again

Has now.

 

[coffeejo]

Nope, Pantano got one over on Majke!

 

[HF2300]

Pantano! Thought Majka had him there.
