Tour de France *Spoilers*

[deptfordmarmoset]

The kids going up it at the start of the ITV coverage was better, crowd cheering them all up it as if the kids were winning the Tour

Did anybody see the idiot on a MTB there? There were a few grumbles from the French side of things about security.

Was it Hainault who stopped and punched a photographer who stood in his way?

And here he is in retirement. He's calmed down a lot now.

Removing a protester from the podium in 2008

And in 2009, this time the intruder is in disguise, but that doesn't fool the Badger.

Good job I am busy at work, I nearly made a post to ask what had happened to Nibili as ITV were showing him 3 minutes down, took me a few minutes to twig there was a breakaway

ITV mentioned a rider in black at the back of the Peloton at the start of yesterdays stage, but then never mentioned him again, maybe they realised he was a genuine competitor and not an interloper.

No, I meant on Jenkin Road. At the beginning of this:

Is Nibs in yellow, I can't seem to see him, unless he's hidden by a Tinkoff Saxo rider, let's face it, you need sunglasses for their kit.

Looks like no body went to today, down there! Great crowds again,

 

[RhythMick]

Kittel, Sagan again

 

[smutchin]

No one was going to pass Kittel once he hit the front, but tbh, it was race over from about 3km out, wasn't it? Perfect leadout by the team.

Renshaw 3rd...

 

[Crackle]

Sagan does pretty well for a loner. He latched on, on the bend before last and just stayed on Kittel. He just keeps getting better.

Not sure what happened to Greipel, his leadout collapsed just after the crash and he was nowhere then.

Good stage, Essex looks nice. I thought it was just full of preening nobbers

Smart move, really. As Smutch said above, nobody was going to pass once he took the lead. More Green points in the bag, easy.

And Coquard is looking useful. Doing a better job for the French than Demare so far.
