Tour de France 2017 ***SPOILERS***

[Pro Tour Punditry]

When turning on and saw 'gr Demare' I was confused as to how the grupetto formed before the first 'proper' climb, and then saw it was just him and a couple of others, what happened?

No idea, just started watching it

A hotly contested intermediate sprint was followed by a load of attacks.

According to inrng he's suffering from an illness of some sort http://inrng.com/2017/07/tour-de-france-stage-8-preview-les-rousses/

Akshully...

Froome at 50/1, and Aru and Porte at 80/1 are decent enough prices to stick a quid on - and Pinot and Gilbert at 25/1

Looking increasingly like the beers are going to be on you tonight.

Is it just me or is ITV's advert schedule much better this year you can actually follow the race. This plus the commentary is really good.

I hope so, I'm away onto my turbo to cycle along with them for the last 40km so cheer for beer from one of the GC lads would be a good way to end

Bit of an anti-climax really. Hopefully see the fireworks tomorrow.

Cracking ride by Calmejane. Really thought the peloton were going to catch the break.

Chapeau Calmejane, thought he was toast 5 mins ago.

Great ride by Guillaume Martin to hold on for third place too. Good day for the French... except the ones called Arnold.

Oh well, it was a decent hour on the turbo, and thankfully I have beer in the fridge anyway

Imlach is a little prick: "Breaking news, Chris Froome is OUT ---------- of the doping wagon..."

Whaur's Arnaud?

 

[Tynan]

The commissaires will be changing thumbing the rule book to make sure Demare does not get excluded due to time limit.

indeed, just what I was going to post
