Tour de France 2019 **SPOILERS**

[Flying_Monkey]

Today is bit boring, but you can hardly complain given the great Tour it's been so far...

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Fuglsang down and possibly out - blood adverts before they worked out if he had abandoned or not

Quintana lost 1 minute 2 seconds

In the next few days we're heading off to the Alps and 'high altitude'.
Well, have a look at the Tour of Qinghai Lake! This is just one stage.

Most of the race is above 3000 metres!

I always like to see Caleb Ewan winning; reminds me of Cavendish in his position on the bike and also his ability to win from anywhere.

So tomoz....any chance of a GC attack on the Col de la Sentinelle? It's only short and pretty easy but get a few seconds over the top and you can probably hold it on the descent to Gap (well, maybe not Pinot). If anyone's going to, surely it's Alaphallipe?

Hope so!

After the stage today de Gendt said he was aiming to be in the break tomorrow, then he always is anyway, so he doesn't even need to keep it secret!

 

[Supersuperleeds]

My prediction for tomorrow. Pinot and Alaphilippe to attack the descent too hard and take each other out, leaving GT to saunter home and into yellow.

There'll definitely be an Astana rider going for the stage win now that Fuglsang has gone home.

I kind of hope not, although it would be great if he did. He needs to ride defensively if he wants to keep yellow. Not really enough to gain on tomorrow’s stage. It’s the kind of terrain that would suit Thomas well too.

I’d say it’s a stage with breakaway win written all over it. I’d be more surprised if De Gendt was not targeting it.

Who's the bloke on itv4 who stands in for Ned and does the guest interviews? He sounds a bit like Adrian Chiles.

A bit of light relief

After my success with Ewan yesterday, I'm predicting a TdG failure and a Daryl Impey double up

Looks like a change coming..
