Tour de France 2022 with SPOILERS

[Grant Fondo]

Still think the final stage is a waste of time....doesn't suit this tour.
Please let there be a final breakaway attempt 😁

Totally agree. Swap those two final mountain stages for 19 & 20? Or just too extreme after 3000kms of riding?

My take on it is poor course design and management.

The road narrows very rapidly. The cars, bikes and riders should all have been warned about this well beforehand. In a briefing and also with a marshal on the road.

Even if you brief everyone about roads narrowing - it's 112 mike stage. There's lots of places like that. You'd never be able to remember them all.

Moto was wrong but cyclist could have been a bit more cautious too.

Rider should have anticipated it happening imho. He went for a gap that didn’t exist.

Just watching end of stage 19 again and wondering if the sprinters are thinking ‘why did I even bother with this Tour?’?!

I live in SW France and l was at the Cahors stage yesterday , nice warm day plenty of freebies being distributed ( Haribos are of limited appeal, especially the pack that was thrown from the passing freeby vehicle and hit me on the head) Other than that , great day out. Oh and the bikes were spectacular.

My rest day today so watching the stage on French tv "Jaja" commentating ....what could be better , oh and incidentally hardly any irrelevant advertising !!

 

[Martinsnos]

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

Any promo of Bernard Cribbins is a positive - what a legend.

Final sprint to break the deadlock in a desperately close points competition.

Oh, hang on ...

Just thinking about this ITT. Highly likely it is only ever going to mean anything to say 30 riders (high placed and/or specialists). So it is hours of c120 riders just ‘going through the motions’. Feels a lack of ‘bang for buck’?!

Have you moved on to Rocamadour for today's stage? When we stopped in Cahors a few years back took a drive to Rocamadour, well worth a visit in my opinion.

I agree, Rocamadour is pretty spectacular but l have to be at home today so watching the action on television.
