Tour de France 2017

That climb looks a bit sadistic on a TT bike... Do not want...

Looks a bit Swains Lane like

Where to watch the action from about 3? Shame about the weather here

Painful to watch Tony Martin going up that hill in a full tuck...

He's not been trained to use his front mech either, so it must be hurting.

You reckon that's painful, you should see me do it.

Looks like Tony Martin has had a poo in his skinsuit! Perils of wearing white.

stolen joke follows

they found one of Betancur's old jerseys at the AG2R service course

That'll be the sandpaper stuck to his saddle. But yep, looks like he went one further than Domoulin.

Didn't know that was a thing!

What sandpaper or takin a shit mid race?

Good touch holding in the start/finish in a huge stadium - loud, encapsulated cheers for every rider upon leaving and re-entering the place is pretty cool

Polish 1..2..

So close from Kwiatkowski, seemed to take a cautious slow line after seeing his minute man, one 1 second from first.
Stupidly strong rider!

Why does Bardet have toilet roll in his nose!?

Soaked in olbas oil to clear the airways.

Maybe he was partying in Peckham last night?

Yeah. Me, him and Pantani had a blinder down the Rye. I was wondering why he was hitting it so hard considering he had this in the morning ;)

And also ice vests? Crazy.

Oh no, seems ultra-super-slow-mo replays of nothing happening have made it to cycling, at least on this stage.

It's infuriating watching MotoGP races when there's an intense battle going on for position, and then the director cuts to a 30 second replay of a bike just going round a corner or down a straight as it normally would, but at about 0.00001mph, at least 5 or 6 times in a race.

Prepare for that to be happening at the exact moment riders make crucial attacks...

Slowmo "face of nothing" on the last left turn before the line is giving me nothing. Harder to tell how hard they're breathing in slowmo.

I look forward to superslomo shots of spectators eating wotsits at the ToB. It will be #epic

Barguil has been elected the best most aggressive rider of the Tour 2017.
Must have been close with TDG!

Looks like Bardet has an aerocoach / nopinz tripsuit.
