OMG, still 40 km of Ned and Dave's tourist guide to regional French mundaneness; have you guys been watching this all day every day? It's my first venture into the start to finish coverage. Jeezo.

I dunno what you think ANY of them can talk about for 4/5 hours every day .. really.
It reminds me of the cricket on the radio -- mosty lots of chuntering and cake with a few bits of sporting interest. I used to like that, back in the day, and I rather like having the tour on in the background now for the same reason .. it sounds like SUMMER!
And I love Millar's posh voice anyway.

Fair points, I have just had it on in the background and they are quite good at just chuntering away.
I just hope they are not hoping to entice new cycling fans, unless from those missing the cricket.
I can't recall one like this and there are a few problems e.g will it be heard before the end of the TdF, how could they reinstate him if they won, is the judgment binding or just a view.
I guess they are after financial compensation. Can't see what else is in it for them apart from reputational damage - maybe

It'll not be long before they are "knocking off" one another

I suppose the best they could do is reinstate his position on the stage, and rescind any fine/ban resulting from the disqualification.
Even if they did hear his case before the end of the race, there's no realistic way they could reinstate him, surely?
CAS's judgments are binding, afaik.

That was great riding by Demare today, he really has stepped up his game this year and looks a proper sprinter.

Mind, he did manage to dispense with a couple of his rivals the other day...

I reckon he'd be beating Cav easily and running Sagan close, pity we'll never know. But he looks a different rider this season, more confident and physically as well
Well that didn't take long. CAS have rejected the appeal

Good, let's all move on
Agreed. I liked the Yates conversation with the podium staff when he got the white where they said "Hello again" and he replied "No. I'm a different one". No doubt confusion all round

His form does indeed look good. And he took 1st in today's intermediate sprint as well.
