Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

[Mad Doug Biker]

Trouble with thinking like that is that you'd never leave the house again. But eventually die anyway, alone.

Indeed, but it must be a worry for the race organisers at both this and other events.

Impressive from Froome, definitely a memorable performance from him so far this tour for all sorts of reasons. With a mountainous time trial to come as well it's surely his to lose as long as he stays out of more trouble?

He won't *

* he might, but I am predicting otherwise

Yes, I am sure it is but they deliberately chose to go ahead with the race today. Everyone agreed that despite the horror of what happened last night in Nice, "they" win unless the show goes on.

Hope this link works. Should do as it's the TDF Facebook page which is a public page. If not, it's a gopro video shot from under someone's time trial bars and perfectly illustrates why the organisers should get rid of most of the motorbikes and fit front and rear cameras to all bikes instead. Maybe not the most profitable solution but it would certainly cut down on fuel emissions during the race, if nothing else.

Can they transmit the gopro images live though?

I was only joking as per the comments further up the thread but in all seriousness, I reckon that if live transmissions aren't already possible, it just needs someone to put their mind to it.

So, I heard Alaphillipe crashed today.

No one said anything about him stopping to do a bit of bouldering though

+Wow. There's overcooking a corner, and then there's leaving the hob on while you do a round-the-world cruise.

Anyone else enjoying the unintended innuendo in this tweet?

I was doing 50kph and @RohanDennis came past me and nearly sucked my helmet off. So fast. I have no idea how they do it. #impressed.
