Tour De France 2018

Amazing ride by Thomas.

T D F '19: Defending champion Thomas has Bernal as support

Riis and Ulle from '97 say hello.

That would really shit up the Green Jersey and Paris sprint...!

Any news on Sagan? I heard he will skip the green jersey podium ceremony and head straight to the hospital. Fingers crossed he’ll make it to Paris...

He just finished. All ok, looked pissed.

And Demare?

Pissed annoyed or pissed drunk?

Looked in pain, like pissed and tired. Pain face.

He's always looked roughly 100 years old

The daffy-duck peak on the movistar caps does him no favours either.

Ah! I was jesting but poor Sagan, I didn't see his crash but assume it was a bad one??

Cracking stage today (sans the pointless F1 starting grid). Amazing ride by Thomas who must have drawn a line under the whole team leader at Sky debate. I think a lot of people would have seriously questioned Froome/Sky had he done the Giro/Tour double and whilst I doubt anything will ease their opinions it does somewhat show that he is human.

The race for 2nd (withholding any huge upsets) is on!

Apparently Contador got the Strava KOM for that last climb, before the stage.

Well that was great

Most enjoyable. Apart from if he crashes - fingers crossed he does not - is there any chance Thomas loses it from here?

How much time could Mr Windmills plausibly take in the TT?

No reason to think he'll take any time. It's up and down and Thomas is a great time trialist.

I now wish I had put more than a fiver on GT at 12:1

There are too many stages left to call it yet.

All it takes is a little tangle, or a moment's loss of concentration, and the whole race is over.

Twitter says tom can do g for 30 seconds .

Twitter is a filthy boy and should keep that talk in the bedroom, where it belongs.

I'm pretty sure that's how gambling works. Hindsight would be my chosen superpower.

I would prefer foresight...

I'm sure this guy would have liked that superpower as well

This guy almost ruined it for Mr Thomas. Not all the trouble makers are French, but my guess is this guy is.

He won't be able to do it in his British Champ's skinsuit, will he?

That would be lush.

That is fucking shocking. Stay away from the barriers
