Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

[HF2300]

Stick the subtitles on. Might not be any clearer though. They were just talking about someone called Welcome Rodriguez.

I've just been informed that yesterday over the Joux Plane the subtitles came over all mafiosi and talked about Whacking Rodriguez.

Nice to see Sean Kelly and Greg Le Mond talking on Eurosport. They still have a lot of respect and affection for each other.

Not often you get to say this about sports, but this stage is a lot more interesting and exciting in person than on the TV.

I always prefer to watch it on TV. I can go to the toilet when I want, get a drink when I want, have a kip and not miss much. However, one day I would very much like to watch a stage or two, and enjoy the local bars and restaurants in the evening in some 'lost in time' village.

Love the details. Told me son to get in Team Sky so he can get me some of those yellow Oakleys!

I think it's just Sky and I reckon we're going to see a few of them on our roads pretty soon. That said, I actually prefer it to the blue (apologies to ianrauk).

What was Copeland just saying about changing Meintjes mentality?

Stop him farting along on the back of the group and worrying those in his team car all day.

I meant this stage. Paris. The atmosphere is amazing and you see lots because of the laps.

Tony Martin has gone home and Marcel Kittel is having a tantrum.

Except it is very difficult to reach a good place where you can see the course and a big screen and moving around the course is very difficult and spectator information is almost non-existant. Newer races like London-Surrey are much more welcoming even if they are harder to see at multiple points.

Not a tantrum. Just giving a specialized the respect it deserves. Bet he wishes he was still on a Giant.

The ONLY reason he quit was so he could go to airport early, that's the only reason.......I'm going back to Eurosport next race , my god

We didn't have any problems. Got a great spot in view of both lengths of the Champs-Élysse, in sight of a big screen and close to an ice cream vendor.

You and Kittel need to chill
