Lol"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Brave to wait so long with the peloton coming fast!0

Yates got himself bluffed into taking the front into the headwind there. Déjà vu as Alaphilippe goes into yellow again.0

Great finish!

That was good.
Hirschi gave him a good run.0 -
I don't think I've shouted at the telly that loudly in excitement for a long time. Bloody brilliant.0
-
Hirschi needed another 20m.0

Looks like Alaphilippe is going to give the big boys headaches again this year.
And not sure what Yates was doing, he really looked like he did not belong in the front group. So why waste your legs?0 -
Good final 10k after a predictably dull few hours.0
-
-
So, when JA said he was "only going for stage wins" did nobody realise he meant ones that got him into yellow?

Hirschi in white?0

The predictable winner after a pretty dour affair, ridden on the slowest schedule.
Don't know which is the more worrying: the way that Jumbo completely evaporated under minimal pressure, or that the French government will announce tomorrow morning that the race is cancelled."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Predictable maybe, but he does it with such style.blazing_saddles said:The predictable winner

In fairness, they looked pretty good until Kwiatkowski took out Dumoulin whereupon they sensibly decided to knock off the chase.blazing_saddles said:The predictable winner after a pretty dour affair, ridden on the slowest schedule.

Kennaugh calling it right for me there. Why give Ala that leeway given what he done last year!0

Dumoulin ended up being first Jumbo over the line. Roglic was almost last in the bunch.DeadCalm said:

Bennett lost a minute and a quarter and Kuss lost over two minutes.
So, yeah, those pair certainly knocked it off.
Lucky they didn't have an incident like Valverde.
Dani Martinez shipped over three and a half minutes, so EF have old man Uran and young boy Higuita left in contention."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Agreed. But he's only just 22 (less than a week ago). He will learn from that and win stages in the future. The white jersey is a decent consolation.rick_chasey said:Hirschi screwed that up - needed to be *on* Julien’s wheel. Not near.

Cosnefroy in polka dots. Fair play.0

When did Sagan get dropped? He's not in green tomorrow.0

How do we think Dumoulin got back in? We didn't see it so we'll just have to surmise for now. Possibly, he rode the finale a good 30 seconds faster than anyone else all on his own despite Ineos and Astana hammering it on the front, in which case, he's now the favourite in my eyes. Or, perhaps, just perhaps, Jumbo's support riders, Kuss and Bennett, dropped back and sacrificed themselves to bring one of their two team leaders back into the bunch.blazing_saddles said:

Thought that was a pretty good chase back on
We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence
