Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

Thought he'd started celebrating too soon but goid win. Great catch up on the descent.

Pantano! Viva Colombia!

 

[smutchin]

Hehe. I put Pantano down. And Pauwels. The only problem is that I picked Gallopin as my wild card winner, and he's nowhere. Should have stuck with my original thought of Majka and I'd have 3 of the current top 6...

I thought Majka was too obvious not to pick - he was always going to be in the break, and it seemed a likely day for the break to stay away.

Gallopin was a more sensible pick than my third choice, Rui Costa - he's been totally anonymous so far and stayed true to form again today.

Great catch up on the descent.

The speed he came past the moto was mad.

Not a bad sprint finish too. Majka got the tactics right but Pantano had the power.

Go Jarlinson, the man with the best first name in the Tour

He should team up with Winner Anacona.

Does anyone else have to sing the line "Werewolves of London" every time his name is mentioned?

No, but I did begin to hum a Crowded House song after Millar pronounced Henau.

Almost went for Rui Costa thinking he might hit the break for the KOM points... Obviously wrong

Har de har har to Majka, your plan to nobble Pantano didn't work!

Boardman just announced on twitter that he left the tour as his mum was knocked down and killed when cycling. Just horrific

My commiserations to him

I wonder when Quintana is hoping to launch an attack. 3 mountain stages left, as well as that TT... can he pull it off?

Terrible

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

Yeah, right!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Yeah, right!

It was possibly trying to escape and not be seen with an AG2R kit any longer
