Love the way Alaphilippe rides, and no doubt he'll continue to attack while in the maillot jaune.0
-
Great finish today, pleased for Viviani, plus Alaphalippe shows he can’t just race, he is also a lead out man

Always good to see Sagan win and he did it in style0
-
Agreed, but I do dislike the way he bullies the other riders with his leaning and elbowing anyone around him. Seems he hasn't learned from his disqualification from two years ago.0

I very much liked the rider in the red poker dots shirt ,wonder where here comes from.

Everyone throws elbows around in a sprint. It's impossible not to. I'm not sure you realise just how intense it is. Even at the shit level I race at, elbows and shoulders are out all the time in sprints. Its a damn sight safer leaning the shoulder or elbow into someone at 55k/h than it is taking your hand off the bar. Also, it's widely acknowledged - even by Cav himself - that the Sagan/Cavendish crash was a racing incident that the commissaires got badly wrongAddickted said:Agreed, but I do dislike the way he bullies the other riders with his leaning and elbowing anyone around him.

Plus Sagan often sprints without a lead out man protecting hos corridor. It's rare people criticise Sagan in the finish: Unlike Cav in his early to mid period.
La Planche de Belles Filles today. Can't wait. I hope to be cycling up it late summer. Love the roads in the Vosge! I shall note the time and triple it, and hope for top half on Strava. Dan Martin for win today, a couple of stage 6s for his palmares.0 -

Never really liked Andre Greipel to be honest but seeing him in this Tour is quite nice to see with both Cavendish and Kittel absent
Its the end of an era with those three but it would feel even more so with all three missing0 -
Thomas de Gendt again doing what he is great at.0
-
WHAT A RIDE GERAINT!!!
What a marker from him to throw down, that was a ride we saw from last year
Alaphillipe did really well, a little disappointed he didnt hold on0 -
Great ride by Thomas.
Alaphippe, my outsider for podium, amazing today.0 -
Loved how the camera work was... Probably not deliberate but we saw Alaphilippe being chased down by an Ineos rider
Of course didnt know who it was but then the angle changed and you knew it was the white glasses of Thomas
Would have been a little surprised had it been Egan Bernal though0 -
De Gendt is immense5
-
Cracking stage today. The shift De Gendt put in was superhuman.1

Loved the chase to the line... Really glad de Gendt won as love it when the attackers manage to stay away from the peleton
Mountains are going to be brilliant
Can Ineos make up that time or will we get a French winner?0 -
Bike for sale, One careless professional owner.

An amazing stage, so many brilliant performances today Pinot looks really strong. Still think G will have too much in the real mountain stages.0

I think the same.AppyAddick said:An amazing stage, so many brilliant performances today Pinot looks really strong. Still think G will have too much in the real mountain stages.0 -
Pinot does look strong, but he's done this before then had an jour sans. He can't handle the heat either, so when it gets really hot he'll melt. G looks the strongest, but lots of others still knocking around there or thereabouts.
Love me a bit of de Gendt - Lotto Soudal are my favourite team with him, Benoot and Wellens being my favourite riders to watch. All of them always put in a shift, de Gendt in a breakaway is a thing to behold2 -
Stage finishes in Albi today.... which has the largest brick built church in the world....lovely town.1
-
Wow, some of the teams really screwed up today0
-
Great day for Ineos0
