Tour de France 2024 SPOILERS

[Cathryn]

Anyone else think Pogacar might go for an early lead? A hilly opening stage might be perfect for him.

With my total lack of bike racing experience, that’s what I’d do! Put the hammer down whilst Jonas is still settling in!

bloody hell three teeth broken for Jan hirt, in a fall while signing on

And they're off...............:

Cav struggling - whole team pacing him up the mountain!

Cav struggling - whole team pacing him up the mountain!

7 minutes behind the front group and 2 mins off the peloton

 

[Cathryn]

This is awful. Come on, Cav!

 

[Sunny Portrush]

Looks like he's been sick too - stick in there, Cav

This is horrible - just shown him being sick again

 

[roadrash]

Its going to come down to the time cut, not looking good is it, throwing up while descending..

 

[Sunny Portrush]

He may not even make the finish line

 

[Beebo]

Can you imagine 130k to go and being sick.
It looks bloody hot too.

At some point the team will have to make a decision about the time cut off.

 

[Cathryn]

This is awful.

 

[Sunny Portrush]

Even if he does make it, he's going be completely wiped out and they have the Galibier on Tues!

 

[Mo1959]

Sad to see. Maybe one year too far. Maybe he should have bowed out gracefully last year, but totally understand wanting that final stage.

 

[Sunny Portrush]

First abandonment and it's from Astana but not Cav - could be something in their camp?

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Another year older and I’ve still not mellowed enough to stomach listening to David Millar.
