Tour de France 2022 with SPOILERS

[Adam4868]

From where? The TV bike doesn't carry bidons.

or was that an attempt at humour?

I don't do humour.....I'm 100% with Nairoman on this 🙄

 

[Spartak]

It's probably been mentioned before on these pages, but as usual I'm late to the party. But I have to say I've really enjoyed Robbie McEwans analysis during this tour, let's hope he continues.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Do you or @Adam4868 think that Nairo's "sticky pannier" tactic was OK? Or is Millar automatically wrong?

That's not a sensible either/or question.

Quintana clearly got caught and was rightly pinged for cheating. Seems fair enough. So no, not OK.

Do I believe Millar when he says he wouldn't have done such a thing because it would be cheating? No, not for a minute.

But it's not a case of Nairo right or Millar right.

 

[AndyRM]

This race is wild!

I've been impressed by Thomas on this tour. In a quiet, consistent way.

Me too. I think he has done incredibly well. He hasn't got that explosive sprint of the the two leaders but he has given his all and given the doubters something to think about.

I fancy Sagan FtW today

 

[Spartak]

I fancy Sagan FtW today

WVA

 

[Sittingduck]

Never heard of him mate 😜

 

[Peter Salt]

LOL, four roundabouts in 30 seconds

Finally, a French win.

 

[AndyRM]

First stage I've managed to see live. Seems like I picked the right one to manage it!

I'd forgotten that daytime TV ads are all for insurance and old people. Kind of jarring really.

 

[roadrash]

CK's commentary. right said fred and hes going for it, got to love CK

 

[Chislenko]

Just a shame CL couldn't do that when he was at Cof.

As my Belgian friend says "It's in what they feed them"

I have no idea to what he is referring.

 

[Martinsnos]

In my eyes, even when he is right, he is wrong. He shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the sport, forget his past, but for someone who has been in the peloton he has a remarkable lack of understanding of what is actually going on, his commentary/punditry is woeful

I don’t hear that myself. To me he often describes a possible scenario that then turns out to be the case.
I’ve watched Eurosport and they are questioning why something is happening (or missing it) and ITV are seeing it and accurately describing what it is about.

 

[Dogtrousers]

I think (but I could well be wrong) that the last time the green and yellow jerseys were won by the same team was in 1997 Team Telekom. Jan Ullrich (yellow) Erik Zabel (green)

 

[rich p]

having to not listen to him makes GCNs fourty quid a year worth it alone.
