Tour de France 2024 SPOILERS

Folk who test positive for covid should just withdraw. It’s irresponsible of their teams to keep them going with implications for their long term health. Even if the rider comes through fine it’s still highly contagious and could easily take out others, perhaps one of the GC favourites skewing the result.

Its a shitty Tactic that De Lie / Lotto use, he protects one side with McClay decelerating and then squeezes anyone coming the other way with the barrier.

But McLay doesn't ride for Lotto. He's Arkea B&B.

Mind you, Adam Blythe - as ex leadout for Caleb Ewan - was standing up for the leadout riders union saying of course it was part of their job to get in the way.

Sorry, I had a brain fart and typed de Lie when I meant Demare which I think also has infected your brain.

What you meant to say was "... that Demare / Arkea use ..."

Did you see Pogacar sprinting at the end. He just can’t help himself.

Second place for Van Aert ☹️ At least he was beaten by everyone's favourite Jasper 😁

couldn't agree more

I can't believe Ayuso gave an interview today after abandoning the tour with covid and the scrum of journalist around him. Just hope it doesn't have any repercussions.

Visma in full panic chase. The mind games continue!

Big day in the Pyrenees today. Tourmalet, Horquette and Plat d'Adet.
Would have been a breakaway in past years, with the GC contenders fighting it out afterwards but everything's so full on these days.
Will Visma put the squeeze on Pog?, will Vingo struggle on a long climb?, will Remco get dropped on the steep stuff? (yes!).

 

[Adam4868]

Will C.Rod to come good in the third week 😁
Reckon the break today unless Pog wants the stage...must be a few tired legs from yesterday's stage ? Who's gonna crack first
