Tour de France 2017

Some big names in that first part of the break. I wonder what they think about Cav and Sagangate

I think they're riding away from the debates taking place in the peloton.

Strong start today!

Already more excitement that 99.4% of yesterday's stage.

I love Grmay's death or glory attempt to bridge the gap. Will we see him again in the stage?

The gap has exploded since he went (30 seconds to 3 minutes!). Hope he makes it!

(Le Tour ticker says he's right in the middle).

ex-pros should be on any judicial panel

who is currently on the panel? can't find the info

I'm not sure how I feel about the snidey tactical piss.

Froome's done it before too.

Faceless UCI beaurocrats you'll never have heard of.

Missed the start, what do you mean by this?

Some proper engines in the break today.

gonna be a good one

"Dans ce pays-ci, il est bon de tuer de temps en temps un amiral pour encourager les autres"

Tell me the names and I'll tell you if I ever heard of them.

^^ Pretty much what Matthews just said. I really wish they would stop talking about it, however.

What they really need is a panel of armchair fixie skidders to adjudicate.

Did the rider who was shown hanging off the back yesterday, and 'suffering at both ends', as Eurosport colourfully put it, continue today? Can't remember who but it was either an FDJ or AG2R rider

🤷‍♂️

Phillipe Marien, Juan Martin Sanz, Laurent Idelot, Francesca Mannori, Severine Jamain, Dider Tiffon, Eric Gauvin, Herve Noury, Daniel Mezzetta, Eric Puren, Dider Rafinesque, Pierre Ayassami, Katell Gueguen, Marie Christine Regnet, Stephanae Lavignac.

Hey, could you please recommend me a decent decent quality live stream?

I've just emailed ASO to offer my services.

Not that I can skid, unless I'm crashing, then I'm a genius.

Come on de Gendt!

Anyone know what the expected finish time is today?

cheers. indeed, not one of the names (rings a bell with me nor) has any professional cycling background. ridiculous.

17.15 CET, according to Inrng.
