Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

[Twizit]

What's happening?

I went to watch it inline and all I have is some posh southern tossers looking for houses somewhere.

I really, really couldn't give a flying 3-2-1!!

Sorry... back on topic Dumoulin is still 1.31 in the lead. Thomas the closest of recent starters - 18 seconds off at the first check.

What's happening?!

Wrong channel? It's on ITV4.

Top 5 at mo:

1. Tom Dumoulin, 50.15
2. Nelson Oliveira, at 1.31
3. Jérôme Coppel, at 1.35
4. Rohan Dennis, at 1.41
5. Ion Izagirre, at 2.02

Purito, Porte, Thomas, TVG etc on the road at the mo. Bardet just starting.

Update.... Oh for all that is b*ggery, despite it saying it was the TdF on itv4, which I assumed was coming next.... It was the bloody BBC!

Really, what a crap website THAT was!

Got it now

 

[HF2300]

ITV reporting Porte down to 12th at split.

 

[HF2300]

Aru down to 155 at the 28k split!

 

[Slaav]

Aru down to 155 at the 28k split!

That surprised me - and watching it in Portuguese so making no sense - was hoping for an active commentary or discussion on here

 

[HF2300]

Porte 15th in the end. No explanation for the time loss unless he got it wrong, or the wind's picked up.

 

[coffeejo]

G done good.

 

[Slaav]

Porte 15th in the end. No explanation for the time loss unless he got it wrong, or the wind's picked up.

no explanation on Porte? I am sure I read this morning that he was really looking forward to this??
