Tour de France 2019 **SPOILERS**

Ineos massing.

Ineos missing?

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

I'd forgotten about the cricket. I might watch a few frames later :-)

Why was Greipel in this break?

 

[Dave Davenport]

Now that was a good finish!

 

[Crackle]

Few surprises in there then. Bernal not in the top 10, Alaphilippe phenomenal, Pinot looking really good but Thomas banishes the doubters and a great ride from Teuns, wow.

 

[nagden]

What a great stage. Alaphillipe Was superb And Thomas seems to have air of under stated confidence. Shaping up to be a great Tour.

Bardet is a busted flush. French hopes on Pinot seulement

 

[gavroche]

Bardet out of the GC I think but still good for KOM according to French radio as he has done a lot of training above 2000m.

 

[Dogtrousers]

3rd on the stage for Wanty Groupe Gobert! Go WGG!

Great stage,watched the last 70 k couldn't wait for highlights ! I thought Movistar Valverde then Landa were setting Quintanna up for that ? Those who doubted Thomas fitness have their question answered there I think.It looked like when Pouls dropped back they were saying "take it easy" maybe save yourself for later.

 

[roadrash]

certainly looks like the question of form for Thomas has been answered, brilliant ride from alaphilipe, I enjoyed that

 

[derrick]

Lets hope it carries on like today. First real day of enjoyment.

What does Gee mean when he says “solid”?
I can’t tell if he means “tough” or “safe” or “good”.
Maybe it’s a Welsh thing?

I'd guess it would go something like
"That climb was fecking solid !"
Would be that was hard.
Or "I put in a solid ride today"
Would be i felt good.
Lol.
Vivianni or is it a chance for Groenwegan today ?

I think he meant it went to plan, it was good, expected, no surprises, no attacks, a solid day on the bike with no bad moments.
