(even if Froome wasn't using the Pro Trispoke in the Prologue - dunno why as it's mad fast)

Was it just the mechanical that cost him?

Landa Aru and Uran Uran in the lead group rubs hands

Fair play to Froome for making a race of this. Must be pedalling left handed to give others a chance or something

No bonus seconds for Landa :(

Oh Dan :(

I think the loveable bit is due to the fact the shots of him on a bike, face going 'full Aru', aren't some un/lucky papped 'caught me at a bad moment' image. He genuinely looks like that. All the time (on a climb). He must do it for the crowds.

Can't wait for the inevitable day (as mentioned in GT threads passim) someone runs up beside him in a full Partridge mask shouting SMELL MY CHEESE...

I wouldn't. Would be like Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior (Wrestlemania 6) all over again :(

^One for the cycle-to-work-scheme

Zakarin is practically a teammate for Dumoulin. He's not letting that c* get anything!

Oi Oi Tommy

No way he was letting Zakarin have that!

:(

Kwia won't mug him, surely?

Sagan going balls out!

Just did 45 mins of the race before seeing Fabian going for it and realised I was watching a rerun of the 2016 edition.

Hi...Long shot, but do you know if the fork will accept 650b/2.1" wheel?

Cyclists don't own (or drive) cars

Not really...Tbh I stuffed it my first year as I didn't end up the 'right' side of the road leading to the Velodrome and if you are on the wrong side you're a bit screwed as you can't obviously cross the road (not armageddon - I just watched it in the Velodrome bar).

It's free (though there are some hospitailty bits inside).

I got there early doors in 2015 but you can get a good spot in view of the main screen until about half an hour before the race ends. The quality of your view of the track/screen diminshes as the day progresses and you get a worse spot, though not enough to ruin the whole thing.

Out there now, walked in as the Madison started, just bloody awesome!

Got tickets to the middle - The missus has KO'd her foot - if anyone has spare seated tickets for Sunday do get in touch!

(Also if anyone needs 2 tickets for tomorrow, we're probably going to swerve it)

"I'm going to go out on a limb here and going with my hunch of Sagan surprising the peloton"

My pre-race predictions sorted for another 12 months.

I'd wager Cummings pays his taxes here too.

2:17. Tomorrow will be worth tuning in for...
