Tour de France - Stage 17 - SPOILER

[BrumJim]

How will tomorrow pan out? Will the sprinters be trying to get off the front to get some points at the intermediate sprint? Which will mask efforts by the hill climbers who will be keeping their powder dry for later? And who will have been holding something back from today to climb 3 HC climbs and get a good time on the yellow jersey?

(yes, I don't have a clue as to what I am talking about...)

Cracking stage today, really enjoyed the downhill and the TT finish. Sod the whinging Schlecks, this is exactly what fans want to see surely???

I'm now starting to support Bertie - despite all the contraversy he looks great on a bike and it would be great to see the comeback. Much as i'd love to see Evans do it he's just a little bland. So I'm rooting for Sanchez and Bertie to blow the Schlecks away tomorrow, with Evans close enough to keep it interesting come the time trial.

Great win by Eddy the Boss today, thoroughly deserved. Can he raise it another level on the TT?? You never know...

And hopefully Uran holds on to the white jersey for Sky too!

Gutted for Wiggo not being there. But that seems a long time ago now.

Loving this tour!!!

I usually prefer uphill finishes but after yesterday's whinge I was looking forward to today, it was a pity there was a wee bit of flat before the end though.
