Tour de France 2017

"Shitehawk Down, Shitehawk Down"

Taking your cat to see the Tour and not keeping it on a leash, what an idiot...

Classy and epic win. Chapeau Lilian!

Classy win from a classy rider. He won that a la pedale, against top class opposition.

Absolutely.

And a 1-2 for DE, not bad for a wild card team!

lol

I made it 5 Sky riders in that lead group. Does Porte still think they are weaker than last year?

Thought today might be a bit meh, more fool me, great racing

Bernardeau's decision to leave Coquard at home looks wise now.

Best day so far. Glad I got a bit drunk last night so decided to ride tomorrow.

Chapeau to Mr Lillian Callmejane.

In a week that has seen cycling embracing its first transgender commentator I'm happy to see a rider with such unashamedly feminine nomenclature take a stage. Truly, the spirit of the forum has spread outwards like a virus across the cycling world.

Smart money is in a Wanty Goblet-Guzzler rider getting in the break. Who is their climber?

3rd... was he in the break though? I popped out to pick some fruit thinking they'd arrive at half 4 and when i came back there was 800m to go.

BMC are so dumb it hurts.

Feel for porte.

Amazing win. Solo, no better way.

Plus love a pro conti win.

Probably not significant that Calmejane's name translates literally as 'mellow johnny'.

Ah well. Back to real life. Until tomorrow afternoon at least.

G crashed again FFS.

Demare running out of time...

He should be fine, cut off is going to be around 46 minutes.

Betancur 11th today!

Demare finished inside the time limit.

I laugh at him after having such an ignominious rep for the last couple of years but he's looking in great form so I think he's been playing possum for a while and will unleash the beast at some point if he gets the nod from Quintana...

Lets hope there was no Dumoulin-stops

The best part of a lifetime riding round in circles must be hard conditioning to forget...

You know it's a good stage when the leader gets cramp. Looking forward to tomorrow!

What did BMC do that was so dumb? Didn't watch it so need intel
