Tour de France 2017

But you start the TdeF thread

:thinking:

Clickbait

I said I don’t follow cycling very much outside of the Tour de France these days. As this is a Tour de France thread, it falls within the parameters of the cycling I do follow.

Please. I prefer “likebait”.

@Anto. It’d be fantastic if he returned.

Porte crumbled badly last time he led a team in the tour (albeit he was leader by default)
They’ve set this up to give quintana a nudge, but I reckon froome will win it out.
Any bolters for the podium?
If contador goes well, it just confirms that drug testing is utterly inadequate.

Ps, for the day that’s in it, here’s my new bike. First ride tomorrow if it’s dry.

Ps that’s not my house/floor/tiles.

I cycle only in the high hills. Not like you flat track bullies thinking the drag up Kilmallock high Street is a cat 1.

Nearly an aero wheel

You dropped 10 grand on a push bike??

No.
Frame was second hand off ebay less than 1000 us (us) dollars.

Froome looks over after his crash. His bony arse is on show for the whole world. Iv kittel blacked for this stage. In these conditions could be another. Crash near the finish

Good shout, Kittel wins.

Good win. Kittel, Demare, Greipel, Cavendish.

Tricky finish today, going for Kwiatkowski.

Sagan will be all over this stage. Up hill 11% finish so power sprinters finish. No team trains in this one it’s too steep.
