Morkov over time limit, 65 minutes behind Ewan.

Yea just seen that....sort of think they should give him a break what with the heat !
But I'm too soft 😁

Wiggins on the motorbike is bad enough but Alberto Contador then being translated to English is even more a waste of time!

Was Benjamin Thomas robbed of victory by the protestors,? Caught with 0.8km left having been brought almost to a halt while the peleton were unhindered.

He would have been caught earlier if he didn't get the draft off the motorbike camera for the last few K*



*Said somewhat tongue in cheek as I know perspective can make him seem closer to the bike than he really is and if he had been really close the unbiased. know everything, Millar would have pointed it out on the ITV4 coverage**


** The Millar bit might be laced with a bit of sarcasm

That. I'd go further and say it would be a really awkward moment for the organisers if he held off the peloton. That particular motodraft was outrageous.

Sorry, and don't get me wrong, no bigger Cofidis fan than me but I thought the protesters stopped the original break which was Pollit and somebody else not Benjamin Thomas.

Unless I missed something.

I am more upset at Ineos bringing him back, Trek, Bora etc were making no inroads on him until Ineos joined the chase, they had no need to do it, ba--ards!

Rest day.
Lazy bastards.

If he was, then I'm sure he'll remember the protest - job done 👍

This ^^^.
I do not understand why IGN were pushing on so hard. For what purpose?

It was a smart move by Thomas and he had a great ride. I do not imagine he will remain at COF for long!
And I hope for his sake that the french press/media do not start labeling him as the next great french epsoir.

.

Because they are fundamentally evil. They can't help it.

Actually, on Eurosport they said it was because there was a light crosswind and they wanted everyone up the front to be safe. They knocked it off as soon as there was shelter at the sides of the road.

Loved this video of Toms Skujiņš loading up with 10 bottles

I'm enjoying the last 65 km of stage 11 now

I will watch Pidcock's attack on stage 12 this evening (if I don't feel tempted to go out and fry myself on my bike).

Time well spent, sir!
