Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

Really unexpected to see Nibali looking nervous and getting dropped on a descent like that. Great by Izaguire and Pantano (once again).

Froome actually smiles...

His crash yesterday could have ended differently - he did the splits as he went down the tarmac.

Now begins the old he's won, but not quite, but he has really.

And to top a great stage off, Quintana attacked Froome and made it stick

All be it a few yards from the end.

Froome let him go. Not sure who was leading sky but he looked over his shoulder when Quintana "attacked" but they sat back and focused on getting to the finish.

I know it was totally different circumstances today but it really shouldn't have been surprising to anyone that Izaguirre is pretty good going downhill...

I suppose it was a whole month ago.

Aru has finally made it over the line.

 

[smutchin]

Aru comes in 17.46 down!

 

[Dayvo]

Can Yates be naughty tomorrow and take time over Quintana?

 

[Crackle]

Aru comes in 17.46 down!

Shocking.

Good to see important cultural treasures Storage Wars and Monster Carp are not being delayed by something as piffling as watching Britain's greatest cyclist pull on the yellow jersey as defacto race winner of the world's greatest cycling race for a historic third time.

 

[Louch]

Not a big Froome fan, but he's deservedly won this. Couple of falls, mental attacks, never shown up in the mountains, and time trialled at full whack than just protect his lead. Well done

Saw him win but nodded off immediately afterwards, was there any indication of a celebration?

A tiny smile.

Then he stripped off and ran about singing '#1' by nelly
