Tour de France 2017

doing his initials proud?

Don't fancy Demare's chances here. If he's not careful he'll be out and take two teammates with him.

Arnaud Denightmare. #inb4schick.

Reckon he'll get a few subtle tows and come in just before the cut.

This front group is stacked with previous Tour stage winners, I think only Barguil and Pauwels have not previously won a one.

Sorry I've lost track, is Froome in the front group please? Who else from Sky?

Knees who is from Rheinbach pulling him back.

Rheinbach was planned for day two in Germany.

Henao and Landa in the main group of chasers. Froome and rest of team in the peloton. 2'28" off the leaders

Sagan was the bear.

Actually rowe, kiriyenka and knees all spent

I was about to accuse Calmejane and Talansky of going on en chase patate but their about to get across to the leaders.

Talansky now virtual yellow jersey. Strong group this

Thanks. Poor Rheinbach/Knees @fussballclub

I have always wondered if there's a British cyclist somewhere called Knies.

This is brutal.

I expect there will be some tired legs tomorrow, could be interesting.

Geriant Thomas likes hitting the deck doesn't he?

Final climb will be nuts if the peloton comes back together...

This could be a fascinating final 30 kms, lots of talented riders in the lead group.

Isn't five live supposed to have commentary? All I hear is tennis.

Do we think BMC are guaranteed to fuck it up? Or is Van Avermaet now a fully fledged cold blooded assassin?

What a fascinating stage, what's gonna happen, Andy? Brilliant racing to watch...

Stuck in the park with the kids. Sounds like I need to slip into the pub for the last 30 mins

Go now.

Van Avermaet should ride for himself if that's what he was promised, although some muppet at BMC might decide that to go for stage wins is a sign of weakness and order Porte to reel him in...

Oh wel, just dropped by the 'ton. fuck'im
