Going to feel weird watching the Tour now, without a Cavendish interest in the Sprint races, although to be fair, the rivalry between Pogi and Vingegaard have replaced that.
Great to see Sam Watson in top ten but crap to see Ganna out.
All the more impressive as he was lacking team support. The manx missile used to navigate his way through off the wheels of others though, so a useful skill when you need it.
Excuse my ignorance, but who's the main GC contender for Inneos this year! Rodriguez? Can't be Thomas. Must be his last hurah as a domestique. Pidcock moved to a team not even in it, and no Bernal? Why?
Don't fancy their chances again. Bring back Froome 😂
Anybody on here been over to France to see it live?
I’ve seen two stages when the tour came to England, both in Canterbury. One began at Brighton, 1994 I think, while the second from a later tour was the end of a stage. I agree it’s definitely worth seeing though almost certainly a better atmosphere in France, I dare say. What I remember most from 1994 is the build-up to the racers appearing with a huge number of vehicles blowing their horns, blaring out music and throwing souvenirs.This seemed to go on for ages and when the cyclists finally arrive, you’ll not be surprised if I say they’re gone in a flash!

But I honestly thought he was going to have a Cavendish-esque Tour.
That really did look a messy stage, especially the Sprint at the end, you just knew another crash was going to happen.
Was Emilien Jeanniere. Rolled in last with a bashed up face.
I really enjoy the Tour, and this one looks like it cannot avoid creating incidents on an almost hourly basis.
