Tour de France 2017

As an example of verbiage that really wouldn't be the best example-they're not particularly onerous words unless you're more Donald Trump than Tony Benn.

When you're not busy imposing your tedious arseholeisms upon others are you performing seances to channel the spirit of Mary Whitehouse to see if she would approve?

Can you take this somewhere else? I'd like to read about bike racing. Ta.

Come on guys, seriously, it's just part of the Tour fun on the podium. Trophy in one hand, random stuffed toy or massive sausage in the other.

Take what where sorry? I was minding my own business until you fancied cocking your snoot so away and take your puckered little face for a shite yourself pal.

My favourite part of the TdF is the Chalfie - Uber Gruber beef.

Beef? Tofu-mince more like.

My favourite part of the TdF is the Chalfie - Uber Gruber ham.

Fixed.

Fuck you and your tofu-mince, what is this? 2030? I want 1974 or earlier.

pork faggot or spotted dick?

Barguil's voice is amazing

Oh here we go, all I want is a nice bit of Spam and now I have to put up with these insults.

Landa is hawt

My apologies. Have some vintage hash to make up for it.

Anyone shed some light on Sky's tactics? Landa up the road was a stroke genius, helping Aru chase him down not so much. Did Froome get antsy when he realised Landa could be in yellow?

Somewhere between Micheal Jackson and pre voice coached beckham

I found out from Theresa May I was a member of the metropolitan liberal elite. It was very nice if her to let me know.

I'd fucking love winning a big French ham, or cheese, or a bottle of Armagnac, or even Sean Kelly's fucking cow. That sort of shit makes racing on the continent what it is. I mean I have an authentic Norfolk Cornish pasty baked in a windwill waiting for me in the fridge after a good spin tomorrow. Take that Tories you cunts

You know what they said about Speedo's...

I wonder with Froome cracking so badly, if they'd changed CG leaders overnight or Landa was told to see what he could do.

I don't think Froome liked this and he's got form for attacking the leader but it seemed like a particularly stupid move to drag the rest of the GC contenders up with him and help Aru stay in yellow.

During the Giro when Landa won all those Hills Pantani had previously won he did so on the drops. Haven't seen him climbing on the drops in France so was that purely a Pantani tribute?

Froome 'cracked' 200 metres from the end of yesterday's stage, how does that come to be described as bad?

Sky played a tactical great game today, they got Landa in an early move, and forced others to chase. Then Kwiatkowski marked the counter attack from Quintana and Barguil, meaning they had two riders up the road, so if it came back together, they'd have strength in numbers. Froome put pressure on his rivals, then got involved in a tactical game that slowed the chase, the gap at the finish was the same as it was with 25 kms to go, which moved Landa up on GC. Best of all, Aru remains in yellow meaning his weak team have to control the race for the next few stages, through some tough terrain.

All this on a stage where the expectation before the Tour was that Sky would be vulnerable.

Lovely summary for pro cycling noobs like myself, thanks

You knows it clart!

Froome didn't want the shitty ham on his shoulder. Simple as.

He has got this race under control. But at least there is some excitement in the slight rumbling noises of the GC battle.

and would like Aru to take it. just cos he throws his bike around like a kid when he attacks.
