Tour de France 2017

Off road 2CVs!

Love it...

Just tuned in, what have I missed?

It's not flat tomorrow. Finishes on a plateau with a climb up to it, 2nd category I think, which would make it suitable for a break. Given Sunday's stage I'd expect GC riders to sit tight tomorrow.

They used the same finish in 2010 I think, Sylvain Chavanel won from a break.

That was great wasn't it? I particularly enjoyed the overtaking and synchronized sunroof action.

There's a cat 3, then cat 2, then cat 1. I have a feeling any remaining break away will be caught on the cat 1 if not before.

Yeah, realised that eventually, hopefully a good stage.

I wonder if Steve Cummings fancies it? He's done sweet fuck all all race, Renshaw mentioned in an interview he wasn't part of Cav's leadout. He's certainly giving the British champ's hoops plenty of air time by being on camera every time the director goes to the back of the peloton.

I was looking through the stage profiles and there aren't all that many that seem suited to Cummings, they either pretty much flat or very hilly. Maybe stage 11 will suit him with a long uphill drag.

The break will go on the last climb and no threat to GC.

Unless BMC decide to chase everything again

But for what, they should save their energy for Sunday. That last climb isn't hard enough to see any significant GC action*.

*famous last words.

I really want to buy one of those MacBook things.

The adverts are really funny, my only complaint is that they're not on often enough.

Multi-hate

ha.

It really is terrible. But on the plus side, it reminds me of this when it comes on: http://hijinksensue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/2012-06-19-surface-tension.jpg

Everyone wins!

It was Kittel wasn't it? I'm not sure.

It will be E B-H now I've said that.

yeah?

Boasson Hagen with the throw?!

Jesus they are shifting

1-2-3 pls. Tracker is shite

Dead heat on photo but awarded Kittel?

Seems they've announced Kittel (he looked happy) but SO close I'm surprised they didn't want to think about it for longer.

I always assumed we got the judges photos. That photo didn't really tell us much. I wouldn't have been comfortable calling it.

think about it?
