Tour de France 2022 with SPOILERS

[Fab Foodie]

The last 2 days racing have been some of the best I have seen in recent times, fabulous!
Pidcock - Brilliant, what more can you say, first Tour, winning THE biggest stage with brain and brawn.
Froome back with some style
Poggy and Vinny will put on a show all the way to Paris.
G. grinding away with such temerity, 3rd on the Podium and could squeeze 2nd yet by Paris.

What a Tour! Bloody fab!

Louis Meintjes is carrying the curse of being in my fantasy team so he is doomed

Sorry, Louis

 

[Beebo]

Pidcock, what a talent.

The youngest ever rider to win on Alpe d’Huez

[roadrash]

let anyone try to tell me pro cycling is boring....

 

[Chislenko]

It has been incredible!

Incredible will be when Cofidis win a stage!!

 

[ColinJ]

Wow...

I have just been watching the highlight shows on ITV4 but I think I will go back to yesterday's and today's stages on the rest day and watch 3 or 4 hours of each stage on Eurosport!

 

[Grant Fondo]

Wow...

I was thinking the same!

Ladt 60kms of yesterday's Colin

 

[Chislenko]

So tomorrow, fairly benign stage, Victor Lafay of Cofidis who has spent the entire tour doing bugger all goes up the road, hangs on for most of the stage then gets passed in the last few kilometres.

Alternative ending, he hangs on and wins the stage!

Chapeau Tom....and Froomey ! tough choice who gets my ride of the day 😁

Well .. Pidcock waited for him on the descent, then comprehensively dropped him on Doowez. Won the stage, now 45minutes ahead of Froome.

So yeah, tough choice.

Not taking anything away from Tom !
But I think your conveniently forgetting where Froome has come back from ?
Shouldn't be selected,he should have retired,he's been dropped.....etc
Podium place on Alpe d'Huez....
Forgive me for thinking your talking sh1te.

Rider of the day isn’t the same as best rider. By any measure Pidcock is the better rider at the moment.

It’s about the circumstances in the day. Their age, their history. It’s rather nice seeing an aging champion return for a final swan song whilst acknowledging that he had no way of beating the young upstart.

Is that final hill too severe for the proper sprinters? I dunno.

If in doubt, go for Wout.

If in doubt, go for Wout.

That was my exact thought process for team leader selection in the fantasy league this morning!
