Tour De France 2020

I’m so European and cosmopolitan I don’t even think about it.

Like when I say ‘Aahhjaydezzerrr’.

If "ayy-gee-two-arr" is good enough for Daniel Friebe, it should be good enough for you.

They are known as the "brown team" in this household.

Thats the name of our club @cake !

Rob Hatch is my god.

I dunno. I can't hear text.

Oh you can! Text your landline...much fun!

Is there anything to this or is it just the COVID-19 version of pre-Tour panic, given that there don't seem to have been any doping cases yet?

Was Evenepoel down to do the Tour before his crash?

It's a surprisingly tabloid story for the Guardian. There doesn't seem to be any evidence presented to back up the claims that the Tour is in doubt, other than from journalists and pro cyclists.

Yes, that's what I thought, too--it seemed a pretty insubstantial story. Poor journalism. I mean, I consider it completely possible that the Tour might be stopped by something other than protesting farmers, but it seems like an article the Grauniad should have thought more about publishing. 'Come back when you have a story.'

So this kicks off today? Anyone know when and where it will be televised? I’m trying to look it up but can’t find the info I’m after 🤦‍♂️ thanks in advance!

ITV4 12:30
