Tour De France 2018

Love the knob in a cap missing it cos he's too busy watching via his phone.

Didi's face is all the joy.

Apparently the guy grabbed at Quintana as well

What's the suggestion that's being made about Demare?

If it's about drafting/holding onto a car then surely there'd be some video evidence?

Beat Kruiswijk's recon time by a solid 8 mins. Imagine that popping up on your feed on the team bus before starting the stage-whipped by a retired pro! Top trolling from Bert

I guess now he's retired he can eat all the steak he wants.

Bert’s back on the beef?

Tommmmmm; the suggestion is that Demare hangs on to cars, much like SF fixie skidders hang on to busses, though without the devil-may-care charm and personal videographer.

If it’s not juice, it’s a motor...

He was previously alleged to have done so when he won Milan-San Remo.

That he got a tow up the mountain by a team car and that miraculously none of the French camera crews caught it. As he was accused of doing by other riders on his way to winning Milan-Sanremo, hence the he's got form jab.

This from Greipel.

I wonder how L'Equipe will report it.

Smoke/fire etc.

Andre Greipel on Twitter calling out Demare for only losing 9 mins on the last climb compared to Nairo

That seems to have been deleted.

Well, if the twins Julian and Phillipe are allowed to share a race number and take turns on the bike I don't see why a bit of a voiture collé should be frowned upon.

You think? Tbh I have no idea how the Strava time compares to Nairos so it could be relatively quick only compared to very relaxed training run for Kruiswijk.

Nah I doubt it’s worth doing such things recreationally. Besides, it was probably just a dodgy steak...

But I’m sure doing a single climb, hard, on a relaxed body would beat most times.

He'd be top twenty today

Quintana over 6 minutes faster than Contador on the Col de Portet today, with 49:37.

Third time's the charm

They paved the road just before the race. When the teams did the recon it looked like this

Sure there was an image copied.

let Demare upload his data to strava and we'll see if he really is as fast as Pozzovivo or that Greipel made a mistake with his accusation

Ah, he fixed it
