    Not allowed. GOt to have the knees showing for some reason

    British testers take it to extremes but haven't seen it done yest, calf socks appear to be the limit

    I want Vayer, Jalabert and every French cycling fan to question Alaphilippe's performance today
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Imagine if Alaphillipe was British. He would be in for a real drenching with p1ss over the next two weeks

    So, Alaphillipe confounds the pundits and wins the ITT

    Makes the third week interesting. He could have at least looked a bit tired at the finish!

    Eyebrows = raised.

    Let's see how he fares the next few stages, that course suited Alaphillipe fairly well and he is clearly on flying form.

    Bearing in mind how much he’s done in the first half of the tour he looked awfully fresh there.
