Tour de France 2018 **SPOILERS**

First day nerves

A quiet start, nice to see it all begin. Surprised it’s all within France this year.

Go Brits!

Not all that quiet in the end!

 

[roadrash]

that last 10km was chaotic, im knackered watching that

 

[roadrash]

Quintana loses about 3 mins , which will probably be music to landas ears

 

[smutchin]

That was mental. Quintana already out of GC contention for sure. BMC and Sky will really need to make the most of the team time trial.

QS absolutely bossed the sprint, almost HTC style. Great power finish by Gaviria - did well to hold off Sagan.

 

[fossyant]

Gee for the win !

Hello chaps, well that was fun.

Apparently the US coverage showed a bit more of Gaviria than is considered polite.

 

[roadrash]

Movistar just tweeted Quintana only 1 min 22 secs down..

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I reckon there was a doctor or a scientist at the side of the road where Froome went down...

 

[roadrash]

Lawson Cradock sustained a broken scapula and stitches over his eye

It goes into Spain too. Not much but it does.

BMC and Sky will really need to make the most of the team time trial.

Agreed, plus Mitchelton Scott too for Yates.

If BMC, Sky, Movistar and M-S can do a decent TTT we could end up back to square one, which I'd prefer, to a whole team, Sky say, taking significant time from less able TTTers

Didn’t see it. Did he say what happened? Looked to me like his gears seized up.
