Tour de France 2022 with SPOILERS

[Paulus]

A great stage. Pog is human after all.
Jumbo did a right number on him, as they say, the old one two, time and time again.
David Duffield would of been very excited.

I bet Pog tests covid positive within next 48hrs.

I did wonder. Either he's human, ill or bonked!

David Duffield

God rest his soul!

 

[Ian H]

That was nearly too exciting for an old bloke like me.

 

[Grant Fondo]

Looking forward to seeing this stage when I get home. Pog not actually superhuman after all?

 

[Dogtrousers]

I find it remarkable that the unreasonably scenic and seemingly huge Lacets de Montvernier climb are actually just a mere pimple on the route profile.

Mind you I think they're probably bigger than anything England has to offer. But I've probably let myself in for a telling off by someone from Yorkshire for that guess.

Pah little bit of drama....Pogi will be back tommorow with a vengeance!
Class ride by Thomas.

 

[roadrash]

Majka has done sterling work for pog

 

[GuyBoden]

Yes, it's good that Vingeggaard will be Jumbo's main GC contender. A great rider.

I knew Vinegar would be good, but that was class from the whole team.

Decent swap 😁

Good on Bardet, he did really well today and hope he can survive tomorrow . He seems to be in good form on this TdF.
Just to change the subject, does anyone know what happened to Chris Boardman on ITV4? He seems to have been replaced by a woman.

 

[Paulus]

I think Chris Boardman can only do a certain amount of time for ITV4 due to other commitments as a cycling envoy. A couple of years back he said because of work commitments he wouldn't do the Tour program at all.

Yes I think it's work commitments.

And you do know it's Lizzie Deignan don't you ? Multiple world champion and Olympic silver medalist.

Chris is back for Paris.

Made me smile when they were talking about Hinault in 1986, and how he never won a stage again. I remember watching that stage so clearly, and then I realised the oldest rider at the front was G who was born in 1986! (and many years later for most of the others). Getting old

I think the last year that Boardman worked fully on the Tour coverage was the year Thomas won. So four years ago. He just pops up now and again these days.

"A woman" yeah, just any woman. It's not like she's ever achieved anything as a cyclist.
