This could well jeopardise Brexit negotiations.

Listened to an interview with Portal this morning, he says they're saving Poels for the Pyrenees. I imagine they were also hoping to make use of Moscon in the Pyrenees though. They'll definitely miss him - for racing reasons, if not for his jolly bantz.
They're also expecting Bernal to drop off in the third week, though I reckon they've already got a lot more out of him than they imagined they would. He's been phenomenal so far. A number of pundits have expressed concern that Sky are over-working such a young rider and risking burning him out, but this is Sky we're talking about - I'm sure they'll be keeping a careful eye on him. If he didn't look like a future GT champion before, he definitely does now... The new Damiano Cunego?

My grandma could punch harder than that.
If you are going to whack the other bloke, do it properly and put him on his backside.

Luke Rowe has been amazing, especially after coming back from a career-threatening injury.

It was in the first km of racing. He hadn't warmed up yet(!)

Rest day today!
Let’s have your final week’s crystal ball predictions.
It seems to be a 3 way fight.
Will Thomas keep Froome at bay?
Will Dumoulin ambush them both?
I think Thomas will hold on to Paris now. Albeit with a reduced margin.

I do hope that Thomas keeps the jersey all the way. But, I do think that Dumoulin is the one to watch. if Froome is allowed to attack Thomas, Dumoulin could be allowed to sneak through and make up time on them both while The SKY riders worry about each other.
There is also the possibility of Dan Martin doing a deal with another team to make a concerted effort.

I'm not ruling out Landa or Roglic just yet. Landa in particular has the potential to do something spectacular on stage 17.
Bardet is still within touching distance too but even if he gains time on stage 17, he'll lose it again in the TT.

I certainly wouldn't dismiss roglic or landa , The way dumpmoulin is climbing I cant see froome putting time into him and if he tries he risks helping dumpmoulin catch Thomas, it going to be interesting

Hi is 7 minutes behind, it would be a miracle if he won, but could have a massive role to play in ultimately deciding the title if he does launch a crazy lone wolf breakaway.

I would love to see Dan Martin claw back some time , one of my favourite riders.
