    Everyone knows by now that if you are going to run along the road with any kind of animal adornment/companion then it just has to be a stuffed three legged boar. Otherwise you are not a legend, only a bellend.

    The beauty of the the guy with the boar was in the fact that it probably didn't even matter that there was a bike race on - you got the impression he would have been there, happily chasing passers-by, regardless.

    I haven't been up Ventoux since. I hear there's a rumour he's still there.

    Shame Albasini couldn't get round, but good for Poels!! Sky finally has its monument.

    Nothing in PTP or paddypower for me though...

    Valverde on a rare off day? Rest of team seemed at a loss, apart from Betancur who defied the pisstakers and rode like a boss

    If Boar Man doesn't make this top 10 I'm writing a letter of complaint.

    EDIT: HOW could they leave out Boar Man! How Eurosport? HOW!

    Limp end to a terrible race.

    Glad sky have the monkey off their back. It was always going to be the stage race team that broke the classics duck.

    Meh, I quite like attritional races, but the last 7km or so was rubbish. As was the winner.
