Tour de France 2017

If someone had their parents in town, what time should they aim to leave central London? Or should they accept it will be the highlights show for Sunday?

Suggest lunch at LMNH, get parents drunk, watch.

last minute boiler emergency

I would like to have seen a draw yesterday. It was pretty close!

Will today be a damp squib with everyone eyeing up tomorrow?

Smart money is in a Wanty Goblet-Guzzler rider getting in the break. Who is their climber?

Today should justify the start-to-end coverage. The first hour should be exciting.

I think a Quintana-Contador-Voeckler break is likely to establish in the first 2k.

and their contractual arrangements probably also dictate that there can be only one winner.

Worst ever tag-line to an action film?

My money is on an enraged Boasson Hagen going on a solo break and TT'ing it to the line with a ten minute advantage over the peloton.

Not really. It was 150-1 on Majka and also threw some shrapnel at GVA, Gilbo Baggins, Cummings and Pinot. With a cheeky side bet on Froome just incase he's bluffing. Give up yellow? The Froome Dawg!? the Froominator?!! Rofl etc.

Riders getting dropped already?

what's the deal with the sole rider up front? keeps looking over his shoulder.

He's looking to see who is going to join him in the break.

I guess they will...

Ta

This is where the all day coverage pays off, don't see these shenanigans on the highlights

Hope they reel the break back in or Frank will be taking this : /

Travelling to Norfolk, relying on the thread to keep me informed. Sounds exciting, Cummings all in come on

Oh no! Froome just crashed and his bike caught fire!

And a bear just popped out of the woods, but Cummings kicked it in the face.

Also Sagan's back.

Renshaw stuck in the back?

This pace is amazing...

And all the riders went over the line at exactly the same time in the intermediate sprint

Lot of riders in that break too, too many to make it stick?

I am really confused with these groups

it's almost half the peloton!
