Tour De France 2018

Gaviiiii

Quintana just punctured...

Just outside the 3k as well.

Was expecting more from Sagan.

Needs more drama.

Gaviria this tour's 'on form' sprinter then... First ever tour, first stage, first yellow jersey. Nice.

Quintana being 50 secs down already helps Landa make his claim for the crown, eh?

You’re probably right, but everything will play out in the mountains.

Quintana on discs took a long time to change. Looks like they tried a couple of wheels before one fitted.

Neutral service moto, Campagnolo discs... recipe for trouble

Campag discs are probably square just because proprietary = $$$

Looks like the Team time trial will be getting back on terms for some of the GC contenders.

Mad love for the Movistar Canyon. The Ridley's and Cannondales are now looking a bit dated in among that lot.

Froome back in the road with nine seconds of crashing. Whatever you think of him, that’s really impressive.

Heartbreaking words from Lawson Craddock.

My bad, no discs. He should have rode on for 300 meters!

Edit: oops, broken wheels

Just saw the replay, no discs. He should have rode on for 300 meters!

Froome's tumble

pretty close to hitting that bollard eh? If he had it would have been more than 9 secs to recover himself..

Seems like a bit of an elbow and a nudge and his ridiculous weight/power ratio worked against him.

Christ, I'm not surprised, there was lots of unmarked road furniture.

Looked like the guy that hit Froome got hit himself. Lucky as fuck not to hit that pole

When I say hit I mean nuged wide

Both his legs were scarily close to the bollard. Very lucky it wasn’t worse...

Froome's finished.

?

I think I need a new watch.
