Tour de France 2017 ***SPOILERS***

[mjr]

"Tactics" all over the place.

Is that Froome's new nickname?

 

[Buddfox]

France are having a good Tour...!

 

[Dayvo]

This scenery makes you want to ride there

It makes me want to move/live there.

was landa asleep , he only reacted when all three passed him.

He would only have gone wide on the last corner anyway

Fuglsang has finally seen sense and jacked it in.

Ahem.... see previous page, surprised he lasted so long

 

[MacB]

That was fun

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Matthews FTW tomorrow.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

That was a jolly wheeze

 

[brommers]

A really enjoyable afternoon's viewing

 

[MacB]

Wow just heard Warren Barguil interviewed, maybe he needs to start mainlining the testosterone

 

[Tynan]

called for what?

Today is the third day that I've seen a Sky rider move across to stop or at least impeded someone chasing a Sky rider attacking or to stop someone trying to accelerate away, not just me, the commentators mentioned it each time as 'a little bit naughty'

a couple of days ago one of them moved left and then right to stop someone to accelerate past them and away

if that's not only cheating but against the spirit of the thing then what's the point

To my knowledge 'blocking' is only deemed possible during sprint finishes. Other than that I believe the road is presumed to be wide enough to 'go around'

 

[Tynan]

not arguing about the rules, more the spirit of the thing, it's like diving in football or arguing with the ref, gamesmanship at best

What a great stage. There have been some decent moments in this race but too much ennui in between.
Let's hope it kicks on from here.
