Tour de France 2017 ***SPOILERS***

Of course, you're right. I was getting confused with the Jacques Goddet monument, which is on the Tourmalet. The Jacques Goddet prize is usually specifically for the Tourmalet and wasn't awarded this year.

Isn't the Jacques Goddet the prize for the best written piece of the tour, written in French?

De Gendt is some kind of automaton. If he had a race brain he'd be a contender.

I don't know about that one. Sounds plausible though.

This is the one I was thinking of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souvenir_Jacques_Goddet

Ok, something I've been puzzling over since yesterday, who is prettier, Happy Marcel or Sad Marcel. It seems such a short time since the radiant beauty of his winners face was lighting up my screen. But those eyes when it all went wrong, if they didn't move you then you're also capable of clubbing baby seals.

What think you all?

I'm more a Puzzled Greipel man myself.

But wasn't there a physical memento? - something you can put on your mantelpiece, like a years supply of Salmon?

A year's worth? Surely it'd go off. And he'd need a bloody big mantelpiece.

AG2R are building up the tension

Froome so phased by AG2R riding off the front that handed out the sarnies for a nice mountain top picnic.

I wonder if Lutsenko and Aru are mates

 

[jarlrmai]

This tailwind is limiting team advantage
