How the hell are they riding in that heat

Apparently they averaged 22 bottles a rider yesterday (11 litres) and they were still suffering from dehydration. Mental

More importantly, how were the knob scrubbers doing in that heat? Must have been a hard job rubbing them massive knobs…

Anti-climax today…no real venom in any attack, all seemed happy with status quo which is not greta for teh fans or sport IMHO. Again too much ‘team’ influence over result which although tactically astute to gain a ‘team’ victory, does detract from the competition somewhat and I say that as some who loves cycling

I think a severely curtailed stage wouldn’t have helped - not having the Cormet de Roselend to climb removed some serious attacking opportunities, and 59km is no distance for a stage, even in the Alps. And following on from yesterday’s truncated stage didn’t help either. I gather consideration was given to cancelling today’s stage altogether, so it’s a safe bet that the conditions were pretty horrible.

Plus, of course, Pinot having to abandon yesterday made a big difference - he could well have been there or thereabouts after that stage and a major threat for the yellow today.

Fuck, wish I’d seen that. Brilliant that the Tour is being won by a Slovenian for the first time, but it wasn’t the Slovenian we all expected to win it.

Not the tour but the Vuelta - Froome has gone out the back of the peloton on both stages so far - 30mins down on the leader

I don’t think we will ever seen Froome regain the form he had prior to that crash - the fact he can still ride is a miracle

Has been carnage - loads of the GC have crashed, Gee had his shoulder relocated roadside and still only lost a minute. Riders protested today by refusing to ride and then a 10 km go slow

I was in the pub. There’s footy, cricket and Wimbledon.

He’ll have to wait until the highlights show.
