Hi. Does anyone know: Is Boardman not doing Le Tour punditry this year, or just starting later?

Just read on inrng that Teunissen is, surprisingly, the first Dutch rider to wear yellow for 30 years.

Hmm
Thanks.

He's retired last year to pursue his role as cycling tsar in Manchester, shame really.

So will Pete Kennaugh be there all tour or are they auditioning several? Will he be educating Ned?

 

[suzeworld]

It is a shame. He’ll be missed, not only for his own skills but the realtionship with Ned.

I dunno. At least Peter Kennaugh can string sentences together without an errr, yeah or super in them.

I've not noticed Chris Boardman putting them in much

TTT. Pretty dull to me, though not as much as an ITT, and I hope it doesn't make significant GC time gaps

There allright to go and watch live but on TV I know what you mean.27k so it's possible to take some time on this course.But I thinkTeunissen has a good chance of keeping yellow for a bit longer anyway,Jumbo aren't that bad at TT are they ? Ineos are first off so I guess there going to set a decent time to beat.

Has anyone seen anyone burning matches yet? David Millar reckons it's happening but the cameras keep missing it. Mind you, I never saw anyone reaching into their suitcase of pain either. RIP Paul sherwen.

FDJ done good but Movistar and all their 6(?) leaders are shipping time
Bardet and AG2R also

Watching it on eurosport for a bit and Brad on the back of a motorbike with a big parka on is making me feel hot !
Dream team commentary though from Kirby and Kelly !

Trek look to have lost a fair bit of time.
