    I have dislocated my shoulder in a fell race in the lakes, horrific pain, rough luck for anyone.

    Just shows how cycling changes so quickly though with injuries today

    I worked with an artist who regularly used to do it on stage, to the point, I'd have to go on and stand behind him while he popped it back in, incase he fainted. Had pretty extensive surgery to repair it.

    I've had some weird jobs in my time but I think that might be even weirder ;)

    Tommy Voeckler saying that he saw Bernal out Training this morning.

    ...which is about the most Ineos thing ever...

    Have you got live coverage yet? I'm on FR3 but although Steephill says live now, it isn't.

    Not yet.
    On or just after the hour before we get live.

    14:10 on ES apparently.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    So, Jumbo are already trying to find ways to try and lose the Tour. :D

    Well he's (PR) back up the front of the peloton with the yellow train on the front.
    Let's see how he climbs.

    Hm that tweet has been deleted.

    Would not be surprised if Bernal was pulled for training reasons.

    Should have left the tweet.
    Lots of very raw meat on Roglic.

    They've just shown Roglic in close up. He's going to be sore tonight.

    Pinot has also been on the deck.

    So much for Dauphine form necessarily being carried into Le Tour.

    Bernal is out then. Froome might put his back into it a bit now.

    LOL.
    Bahrain blow everybody out the back but for the entire Jumbo train.

    Lopez makes it back.
    3 Jumbo, 3 Colombians, Pinot and Sivakov.

    Jumbo shouldn't be allowed yellow jerseys. Watching on my phone, in the pub, it's impossible to tell which is Roglic.

    Fine when Jumbo have the yellow jersey obviously but otherwise it would be quite confusing.

    Thank goodness Kirby had "Lennie" to rave about now that "Mannie" is out of the race.

    A pretty dull course design they have come up with for the weekend.

    I've just remembered I was watching on catch-up. Fortunately there weren't any spoilers in this thread.
