Tour de France 2024 SPOILERS

Bloody French, anyone would think it was their race.

 

[Mo1959]

Well, that was most enjoyable!

 

[Supersuperleeds]

2nd best stage so far, nothing will be beat Cav's win.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Phew. No one had race-losing bad luck.

Poor old Derek Gee. Second again.

Didn't Pidcock get 2nd?

Didn't Pidcock get 2nd?

Yep. Think he was kicking himself for leaving it a few seconds too late.

Poor old Derek Gee. Second again.

Not poor. Nor old. Third is very respectable, considering he had to long against guys who are quicker than him, like Pidders. Now If it had been uphill, he would have had a much better chance.

Wow, that was exhausting. I did not think the break would win.
I,m going for a glass of wine (or 3) and have a lie down.

 

[Paulus]

I thought it was a great stage to watch.
I know some riders didn't like it and thought it had no place in the TDF, but I like the idea of the odd types of different terrain to be raced over.

Ned Boulding and David Millar, getting excited and getting it wrong, again. I'd watch it on Eurosport if I wasn't too tight to pay for it.

Eurosport is free to air on satellite.

With German commentary only, so you get the great Karsten Migels instead of the two nobbers. Hatch-like levels of knowledge without the accent shifting with each name.

Unlucky for Pidders there,really thought he had that !
As for the battle for GC great stage with plenty of drama....which ended up coming to nothing! Think we can say Vingo looks back to form from that ride, especially when he took Tratniks bike and still couldn't be dropped !
Great rider but feck is Vingo frustrating to watch !
Remco was class...telepathic with Landismo 😍

 

[cyberknight]

Bring back Phil!

the commentary would really be wrong then , just watched the highlights and it was edge of the seat stuff

 

[rich p]

A stage for the ages, as they say.
Epic and solved nothing GC wise which is good news really.
Vingo looked decent and Roglic less so but you have to love the boyish, racing instincts of Remco and Pog.

 

[rich p]

Pidders was just too far back at the start of his sprint but he'd done a lot of the legwork with Gee, Lutsenko and Healy to bring back Stuyven. The 2 Movistar riders did eff all so I'm glad neither won.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Didn't Pidcock get 2nd?

You're right.

Poor old Derek Gee, not even second this time. He's building up quite a palmares of near misses. Was it three or four second places in last year's Giro ...
