Tour de France 2018 **SPOILERS**

He's been at the back of the race for the previous two stages - last finisher on stage 16, second to last yesterday. Obviously did a good job of conserving his energy for today.

Which is precisely why I did not pick him in PTP - bugger!

Sagan was well off the pace, compared to his usual standards. Could be down to his injuries from yesterday? Hope he makes it to Paris...

Tomorrow is the only difficult day left. Hopefully he gets home within time.
He should be ok in the TT.

Thomas is a pretty good timetrialler, and I agree with you that Dumoulin is not 2 minutes quicker.

I was talking about Sagan for green making it tomParis, as he looked a bit off colour today.
But it works for Thomas too. He should hold 2 mins against Dumoulin.

The TT course is rolling with a few climbs so it's not a course for the purist, it might well suit Froome the most

It'll be fine. G has hidden the salbutamol.

Sorry, not concentrating @Beebo. I've got Marmyitis.

You're turning into a curmudgeonly, gigantic, lazy scotch git? My sympathies, Brommers, old chum.
I f there's anything I can do...

Go and find marmy and bring him back where he belongs.

So what’s Dumoulins tactics now? He’s going to have to try to blitz it at some point.

Ride the TT of his life and hope G falls off.

Think he'll come good tomorrow. But he's like their Tim Henman!!

For the benefit of non-French speakers... that’s actually very funny.

I don't know "barder" I'm guessing "ça va barder" means "it's going to go really well"?

Yeah, that’s the general gist of it. Idiomatically, “There’s going to be fireworks” or something like that.
