Tour de France

[wooderz]

Should be cancelled imo - they can't organise a piss up in a brewery

Froome has it in the bag now. He won't lose 2'30 on Mollema or 3'00 on Yates, and the rest are too far back too. Would take an injury to stop him.

More like 'Bore de France'.

If only we had a tour with the likes of Valverde, Quintana, Froome, Porte, Henao, Landa, Aru and Nibali all battling against each other. This age of super domestiques has gone on for too long now and has just killed the excitement and something needs to be done about it. Although, part of me thinks nothing will be done, as it allows stages to be condensed into easy highlight packages as the final 1/2km are the only places where things happen these days. Much easier to commercialise that way probably.

Agree he has it wrapped up. The competition is woeful. The minute they allowed him to win the yellow jersey it was over.

I was listening to Absolute Radio this evening. On the sports news they mentioned Allerdyce for England, something else, then "An Enhlishman won today's stage of the TDF". Fucking disgraceful.

 

[Col_M]

Love the Paris leg of the TdF. Such. Great event. Nothing beats it.

Chapeau France!

BUMP

Froome had it too easy last year, but this year's looks to be much more of a contest. Porte's having a fine season so far, Fuglsang won the Dauphine but won't necessarily captain Astana, it's between him and Aru. Quintana should be dangerous.

I always look forward to the Tour, it's not summer without it.
