Le Tour 2018

Mountain bikers all smoke dope lol !

The tour is awesome . I don`t see a dilemma for Sky as very shortly you`ll see what Froome is capable of and G will disappear behind him.



Cyclists are the most tested sports people on the planet.

Footballers, rugby players, tennis players, you name it, they all use drugs to aid their sport, they just don`t get tested much so you never hear of it.

Drop me didn't have it today when he tried to attack but we've seen that before and we've also seen Thomas blow later in tours. That's them done in the Alps anyway and with so many of the sprinters being eliminated the sprint teams don't have much to ride for now.

Roll on the Pyrenees.....great tour this year

That is a very recent upgrade.they did have a fleet of ttr250's

Good call , you may be right but the headlamp looked too small for a TTR

I fear today may be a bit boring after the last two days .

We commented when watching coverage that they had an upgrade to WRR's

Just realised it was 4 years ago the last time i went to a Pave stage.

Also G does seem to have a habit of running out of road at times...

That burst that he has at the end of the race is new this year, my gut instinct is that he has tuned himself to do that, but it sure is bloody amazing. No doubt the Frogs will be saying he has a motor in the crank!! Although I do feel sorry for the poor sods that have been out in front for multiple km, to then be blown into the weeds.

I cannot recall quite such a big loss of Sprinters so early on in the race for many years, if ever!

Cav said back in November when the route came out it would be brutal for his type of rider.

Turns out Nibali wasn't taken out by a bike bit by a spectators camera strap catching his bars as he leaned over the barrier, what a travesty for him but D'Huez is always the maddest of stages.

[boboneleg]

Alp D'Huez is turning into a bit of a joke, it's like the bloody wild west

The French don't appear to like Froome ...... wonder why

For a country that perports top like cycling as a major sport, theyt don't like winners do they
