The Tour De France 2011

[ravo]

I think I'm correct in saying that traditionally you don't challenge the leader in Paris (I'm not sure how long this has been the case and obviously it would be a different story if the final stage was a TT). Plus it's a flat stage so BMC would easily chase down a Schleck breakaway, particularly as HTC will be more than happy to help.

I don't particularly feel for Schleck, as mentioned above Cadel has been the runner up before and if you can't time trial you're always going to struggle to win the Tour.

I'm pleased to see a mountain biker win it :grin: Quite an achievement to be mtb and road world champ and now TDF winner.

Spot on.

Went to watch the Tour of Britain yesterday - great to see Cav, Renshaw, Hushovdt, Thomas and co up close and just admire how ridiculously fast those guys buzz along! Was out on the road bike so managed to catch them 3 times around the course.

For fucks sake i'm such a fanny! I wondered why there wasn't a Tour De France thread this year and I missed it due to not searching for one properly.

Not much to say about it now other than it was superb. So happy for Cav though.

I made it to the first sprint stage at Innerleithen on the opening day. Hampton and Ghyllebert rather spoiled it with their cheeky break, but it was good to see the race go past. Gave everyone a wave with the big green PMU hand :grin:

Was planning on going tomorrow but it will clash with the Spurs match so it'll be the highlights for me.

Is it on telly ?

ITV4, highlights of today's stage are repeated at 10am tomorrow, highlights of the final stage tomorrow at 9pm. Check ITV player, there may be some more on there.
