Guest Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 Who's following? Just turned it on. Bloody typical its on the one channel I don't have (ESPN 3)
Moderator Tommy Posted July 1, 2017 Moderator Posted July 1, 2017 I cycled past the racing track yesterday, well parts of it. Road blocks everywhere and the weather is absolutely miserable today. Unlucky that.
Guest Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 British Stage 1 winner. Geraint Thomas. 2. Stefan Kueng 3. Vasili Kiryenka 4. Tony Martin 5. Matteo Trentin
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 1, 2017 Subscriber Posted July 1, 2017 Caught the end of this. Nice for Thomas to win and wear the yellow jersey for Stage Two. Froome has had a great day too starting off with sizeable leads against most of his main rivals for the yellow jersey.
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted July 2, 2017 Subscriber Posted July 2, 2017 Good start for Team Sky. I think Froome is the obvious favourite to retain his crown because of how strong the team are supporting him. Also think his former team mate Richie Porte will have a good tour. Good to see Thomas start well, brilliant rider and he's been amazing for Froome over the years.
Eco Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Imagine a lot of you Brits are big into it since you have the king at the moment. Anyone else enjoy watching it?
bozziovai Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 after that Armstrong scandal, people became dubious about this sport ...............
Eco Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 No doubt - I was massively into it during the Lance days, but I am somewhat excited for this years Tour. What a great summer for sports, World Cup, followed by the Tour.

Did they give the Title to the 2nd placer, you know, the normal progression if the 1st place is disqualified ??? another significant scandal is of Marion's. They should treat cheating in sports as a criminal offense and impose jail time to the guilty parties.

Eco Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Anybody watch this? Absolutely love it and it always gets me more excited for the Tour de France. Stage 5 was this morning, and what a finish it was in the rain!
Azeem Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Did Armstrong scandal damaged the image of the sport considerably ?
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted July 4, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 4, 2019 So (formerly) Team Sky are now Team Ineos, after Sky didn't want to renew their sponsorship deal. Shame what happened to Froome, i would have had him favourite to win the Yellow jersey back. The domination in recent years from Team Sky(Now team Ineos) really has been amazing and i expect them to win it again from either Geraint Thomas or Egan Bernal.
Eco Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 Anyone watching? Julian has the yellow, and looking good so far. Today is a mountains course, which is what separates the men from the boys.

What a great stage today...Sad that Julian wasn't able to hold on for another day, but that last climb was incredible. Really at this stage you have Thomas, Pinot, and Quintana who honestly have a chance to win it. Still think it'll be Thomas, but I would mind Pinot at all.
Eco Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 What a great race it's been thus far, and today's stage winner was Van Aert who is having a massively impressive Tour thus far. Pinot has had a rough go of it this weekend, whereas Thomas is in a good position the retain the title. So far though, Alaphilippe (FRA) remains in the lead as we head into a rest day tomorrow.

Thomas in a very good position. As is his teammate Bernal, as i said pre tournament.
