Tour De France 2018

All that booing is really grinding my testes. How can someone invest all their time to get that close, just to ruin a celebration??

Get your question in for Wiggins on Saturday - What was in the bag?

Yes, ITV4. TUNE!!

Who would you back, the reigning Tour champion, and 6 time GT winner, or the guy whose best finish in a GT is 15th?

Probably the on form rider with two stage wins in the Alps.

But yeah, Froome is still riding himself into form..

They don’t need to make a call yet, in fact it probably suits them to have two cards to play.

what happened to Nibali

Agreed. Hopefully they'll take it all the way to the end and we'll have another one of those nail biting TT's.

Who was it that was complaining Thomas gets paid more than Uran? Where was Uran today? Christ some ‘journalists’ are silly.

Ah Uran abandons. Shame.

Anyway, how many years before Quintana is domestique for Bernal? 1?

Neal Rodgers and Richard Moore yesterday. Rodgers was calling for changes to the rules to stop Sky winning.

Hearing that Nibali may get the same time as the leaders. Anyone else?

It's a long way to Madrid. Froome didn't have it today, maybe he will next week, maybe Thomas will do a Simon Yates, maybe Dumoulin will be the one to stay in shape.
Roglic is not being talked about nearly enough.

ES had their game on too...

The guy who won the last two mountain stages and is in the leaders jersey.

We watched stage 9 from the cobbles of mons-en-prevele, where we encountered a group a 5 frenchmen determined to boo, hiss, swear and hit out at anything british/sky branded. Some of it came our way as we cheered Thomas et al by, despite the fact that I was there with my wife and toddler. Highlight was the lead rider of group 3 on the road (not sure who, but EF english speaking) telling them loudly to fuck off as he came past at full gas.

It's frustrating at the double standards - Virenque etc - but also because they don't feel the same positive energy towards supporting their own.

Thomas Daft Punk's dad

Liquigas general manager, Sagan was wearing it as well.

Suspected fractured vertebrae for Nibali.

Fuck racing on ADH

Thanks (et Landslide)

Was it Roglic or Kruiswijk who was doing some major drafting of a team car in the last 5km?

Did anyone else see it and will there be repercussions?

Did you watch the Giro? Remember what happened there with the guy who looked the strongest in the second week?

Confirmed now.

Which is an enormous shame, he was riding well and did amazingly well to close back to 17 seconds of Thomas after his crash. He'd definitely have animated the final week.

I'm surprised they didnt have barriers further down, felt bad for the riders, looked a nightmare.

"fan" = dickhead
