Tour De France 2018

Yeah, that could be it.

20 mins behind the slowest schedule.

This is desperate stuff, like watching a club run.

It's on days like this where I miss dear old Duffers.

Hopefully the sprint makes up for this snoozefest

Glad I didn’t rush home early to watch this one

Protest or just bored?

I think i just rode home quicker 😴

The tennis is good today!

Been sat here since lunch time. Racing has been as bad as the rain, and somehow the rain today smells like cat piss.

Would love to see Gripel do the business today

Hooray! A race.

Cavendish is finished.

Did he have a mishap or just blow up?

Seemed to just give up...

is he having another child?

Was in Groenewegen’s wheel, didn’t have the legs.

Right thing to do is join a retirement team like Trek now.

Doesn't look like cav will reach eddy's record now

Looked like he jerked the bike just before he gave up, thought his chain might have dropped again

Right thing to do is join a retirement team like Dimension Data now.

er

Yeah he seemed to clip/touch someone (sagan or kristoff?) and wobbled. I think he woulda been 4th or 5th without that touch.

Only hope is that he keeps getting angrier.

But he might have to look for non-sprint stages to try and win.

Isn't he coming from a recent series of nasty crashes and broken bones? He's probably just out of shape, doesn't necessarily mean he is completely finished as a winning rider.

He’s had a rotten season so far, but he’s not got the speed he once had. Was it 2010 when he had a poor winter and early season with the after effects of a tooth infection? Everyone wrote him off ahead of the Tour, then he won five stages.

He’s older now and bouncing back gets harder.

Seem to be some viewing stats out that suggest 5 pure sprint stages in northern France have not been a ratings winner.
