Unlike plenty of 'sprinters' Bouhanni is prepared to get in amongst it every time. And he's fast.0 -

True, but he's cut form the same gold spangly cloth as Michael Matthews which is just so...un-british. I can't take him seriously. They re the Justin Biebers of cycling.
at least Matthews wins proper races...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

When you look at the knocks Bouhanni, Matthews and most of the others have taken and then got back on and carried on racing, I find it impossible to have anything but the utmost respect for them. It even excuses the bling!0

Does anyone know what time the finish is expected UK time? I have a meeting that I'm hoping will be over to watch the end.0

4pm ish0

what specifically is this 'attitude' and can you provide some examples?
I think people are confusing his determination and (hard fought for) position with arrogance0 -
Just too aggressive off the bike. Madoit booted him out for his attitude didn't he? He's always "Furious" about everything. The incident with matthews was a great example of why I don't like him. Rams him in to the barrier and then gesticulates as if to say "What are you moaning about" when Matthews protests, if he'd have held his hands up and apologised I would have had a lot more respect for him but he's just arrogant, expects to win. Always banging the bars, just really not a fan.SpecialGuestStar wrote:Paul 8v wrote:

Also shut up about boxing, either go and do it or carry on riding.0 -
I think Madiot was as guilty of petulance as Bouhanni and he can't really blame his youth as an excuse.0

De Gendt goes on a solo attack from the break... Cofidis chasing in the peloton... 25km to go...0
-
De Gendt caught... so a bunch sprint?0
-
BTW Dennis has the flu and has pulled out... that's why he was 6-mins down yesterday.0
-
Why would anyone start a race with 'flu?
Anyway, bit of an odd run in this.Team My Man 2018: David gaudu, Pierre Latour, Romain Bardet, Thibaut pinot, Alexandre Geniez, Florian Senechal, Warren Barguil, Benoit Cosnefroy0 -

Poor old TdG.
Potentially a great classics rider when he burst on the scene in the Tour of Britain with Topsport, now relegated to being the Belgian Thomas Voeckler.0 -
