Tour de France 2019 **SPOILERS**

[Va Va Froome]

Kept expecting Thomas to crack last year and it never happened.
So, expecting Alaphilippe to go the distance this year.

 

[KneesUp]

Well, my pick for the day, Nibali, has been swallowed up and then dropped out of the back of the peloton...

I don't have Eurosport so I'm not watching - did he look spent, or was it just a case of 'this gap isn't enough to win the stage so I'll save my legs for another day?' do you reckon?

Has Alaphillipe cracked?

 

[rich p]

Not yet!

 

[Crackle]

Jumbo Visma look immense, Thomas looking enigmatic.

 

[rich p]

Thomas looks a bit cooked

 

[Dogtrousers]

Guess the Movistar tactics

Tactical masterclass. They really softened up Quintana before going in for the kill. Then sent a doestique back to fetch him. Then thought "Oh sod it"

 

[Racing roadkill]

Julian Armstrong right there.

 

[Crackle]

Pfffffftttttt.....is all I can say.

A propos of nothing really, I have noticed a national trend in the whingeing Aussies.
Porte is always glass half empty, Matthews is in a strop cos Dumoulin got injured and he didn't want to contest the green jersey and Rohan Dennis had a hissy fit the day before 'his' stage.
As you were...

Don't forget the king of the Aussie hissy fit - Cadel Evans

 

[rich p]

Blimey!

 

[nickyboy]

Wow, what a stage

Told ya about Thomas. I think there will be a French winner. Not sure who though

 

[Va Va Froome]

It feels like every bike race I watch has Movistar having an absolute disaster...

 

[MrGrumpy]

not Really up who who in the tour apart from Thomas etc but get the feeling that the current leader of the tour is errr a bit suss ??
