Tour de France 2017 ***SPOILERS***

[Viking]

Why does Kirby think that the sprinters give a toss about losing 20 seconds to Thomas et al. Prat.

Kittel only 6 seconds behind Thomas now

 

[SWSteve]

I wonder if we'll see attacks at the end of the day like in 2014

 

[Tynan]

oooo! Yes!

60th in fact

 

[Tynan]

Eurosport have just shown Aru as 9th so that's where that's from, none else seems to agree

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

That's racing for you.

edit - who's the 3rd rider? Valverde, Izagirre and ?? Did someone pull out today?

Someone packed today following ligament damage from a fall yesterday not riding itself off

much talk today about custom made hay bales, 'thousands of them', made to 'make the course safe'

that's a very nice house indeed but there's been quite a few detailed today

It was Durbridge, reports were that he'd started but evidently things did not go to plan.

Great finish, really felt for Phinney and the other lad, thought they may just hold on when they held the 31 sec lead for a while.

Watching on my phone, it was hard to see who was coming through but Kittel is just so good. Sounded like Bouhani was in with a shout for a while too

 

[Tynan]

He got a nice run in at the very end and admittedly took it very well, my man Greipel had to work his way through a bit and never looked like he thought he'd get there

Bouhanni blew his load too early and sat up, shaking his head, about 50m from the line. The nobber.

I wonder who he's blaming today?

 

[roadrash]

anybody and everybody probably, one thing for sure it wont be his fault.....boohoo...

 

[tug benson]

Not really as Frome is still the leader and gives the orders..

should the 3 time winner of the tour step aside because Thomas has a few seconds lead?

Froome is the top dog at Sky for a reason

Fear.

Fear and ruthless efficiency.

Froome is the top dog at Sky for two reasons...

Got a Mrs to tell me how I'm driving and to think for me.Im sick of that hipster fella with the big watch advert allready though.

Doesn't a watch that big affect the steering badly? And wouldn't you worry about bashing an expensive watch up if you went tarmac surfing?

Cav was apparently wearing a £10,000 watch yesterday during the TT, which was a gift from someone rather than a sponsorship deal. He was obviously taking the "safe" approach to getting round.

I really am becoming the Carlton Kirby of CC

And his hairy fecking arms and legs...he's like a badger riding a bicycle...."Nurse, nurse, I need gravel removing from my buttocks...Sorry, we'll have to shave you first to find out where the road ends and your @rse begins" "
