Tour de France 2019 **SPOILERS**

[Adam4868]

Pinot trying to do a Bardet and be all philosophical...the French are pretty easy going,they have their stage winner with Allaphillipe.You just do your best Tibot,we won't judge you.
Yea right.For today's stage, the race to "the plank of the beautiful girls" I'll go with Bardet or Woods !
Only cause I like them both and have over 6 quid riding on these two.

the plank of the beautiful girls

Doesn't sound quite as romantic in Anglais!

More Sagan,Van Aert sort of finish

 

[brommers]

Expected win by Sagan and he delivered.Tommorows the day to bunk of work.

Who? You or Sagan?

Who? You or Sagan?

I'm far too conscientious,plus I've got Eurosport on my phone if I'm too tempted.

Gonna be flipping between cycling and the cricket whilst trying to at least keep working a bit. Having said that most of the people I work with are city-type hooray Henry's so they will be glued to the cricket I suspect

I think we won't know who is going to win the TdF after today but we will know several "contenders" who aren't going to win. For the sake of my fantasy team (and no logic whatsoever) I'm expecting a Bernal, Pinot, Uran top three with Aru right up there

 

[Crackle]

Yep, we'll know who's going well today. I doubt there'll be an all out attack but some sparring and testing.

Pinot has already lost this race mentally plus he faded a bit in the Dauphine. Barguil was off the back the other day.

Interested to see Valverde's form after his rumoured weight loss, even though I don't want him to win. Expect to see Quintana following, as usual. Should be good.

I believe clenbuterol is good for weight loss. I wonder if ValvPiti is aware of that.

If you translate planche as plateau it sounds even better.....

 

[Dogtrousers]

Cummings breakaway victory. It's obvious, he's been saving himself and is just waiting to pounce.

Or perhaps he will spend his day in the grupetto ... Who knows? Is he an enigma ... or a waste of space?

Good for a stage maybe but otherwise, not a team player and not someone who puts himself out if he doesn't want to.

 

[johnblack]

Remind me, what is he doing there?

Doug Ryders pick apparently. I think he may have lost enough time to go in a breakaway soon, maybe needs another hour!

 

[Adam4868]

Changed my mind,it's got Bernals name all over this stage.

 

[rich p]

Two Trek riders in the break to maybe help Porte later on.
Hope they've got a towrope, spare tubes and a bandage.

Ineos massing.
