Tour de France with spoilers if you are watching latter
Hi
Anyone else interested in the Tour de France
Cav's not riding
Froome is recovering from his crash
Could be interesting as it looks like it could be a little bit more open his year,

I think it will still be a team Ineos rider,either Thomas or Bernal.

My favourite 3 weeks of the year!
Think it'll be an interesting race , really need riders to be given the green light for more breakaways, a bit more excitement instead of a procession . A bit like F1

Tour de France
It's awesome. Followed it since the Lemond/Hinault era. As a man who can put out 250lbs of "power" just standing still, I'm never going to scamper up the Tourmalet like Albuterol Clentador, but I love the whole spectacle. Saw the Grand Depart in Leeds 2014 and visited the finish in Aubenas 2009 (Cav was dragged over a cat 2 to win) and you marvel at the logistical achievement. This year has been superbe so far with T. De Gendt, Julien Alaphilipe, Sagan (as usual) and a win for S. Yatesey. Time trial today, then the Team Ineos Show starts tomorrow. I hope some of the other teams can put the willies up 'em a bit and make the final finish on the Galibier an epic .. sorry to go on a bit, but I can't help it.

There's still that pesky French man to get passed first. He appears stronger than last year.
But you are right of course.

ITT on now 11km to go for that pesky French man
Thomas was up at the intermediate spilt by around 7 seconds as the clock was against the best rider that had already finished
So Thomas could take Yellow today

Should suit Thomas tomorrow. Sunday looks like one for the pure climbers though.

It's been pretty special so far! I started developing an uneasy feeling of suspicion when I saw Alaphilippe's performance today. I'm sure he's on the right side of the rules, but I think he shocked everyone today by posting a time like that, being a climber and not an outright power rider! He's a real bundle of energy and charisma

Let's put suspicion to the back of our minds.
Great unexpected result today , fed up of the Cobblers that has blighted this sport since it began! Can only enjoy it and hope its legit.
