Agree. He was cooked on the Col de Porte but still a big surprise. Looks like Kruijswijk is touch and go but Roglic good to go. Big boost to J-V the Ineos ommisions. Kuss is a quality climber. Hope Roglic has the legs for 3 weeks. Would be great to see Ineos on the back foot and see how they react/counterattack. The crashes are getting well out of hand.

Its bad enough when camera bikes aren't paying attention and knock riders off, but you certainly do expect it from team cars!

What a feat well done Mark. Absolutely made up
Yeah, in his pomp he was just a superb sprinter. Of course, he needed great guys around him. But they all do, and he's been a top rider and I shall devote more time to this years Tour from now on.
This time of year is always tricky. Football or athletics. Then there's F1, MotoGP, Wimbledon and the Tour. Flipping heck! 1st world problem eh!

I'm actually struggling to keep up with the highlights this year with everything going on.
The carnage the day before the manx missiles win bordered on the unbelievable, would of liked to see him go head to head with Ewan in a few stages
Then there's that dopey German woman who brought half the field down on day one, I'm just glad the organisers have said enough is enough and are going to actively sue her if they find who she is.

Ha Ha, they've arrested the dopey mare who caused that massive crash on day 1

Cav win's another and I'm falling back in love with the Tour and the coverage. What a country! What an event! Top class in every respect.
The mountains await.
Only just had the chance to catch up with yesterdays highlight!
Wow what a ride that was from Pogacar
Don't think I've ever seen a GC rider go from 5th and almost 4mins behind to Yellow with a lead of 2mins over 2nd and over 4 mins to 3rd

its been bonkers all round... No idea what too expect on a daily basis...
Just can't get my head around how good Podacar is...
And Cavendish last stage win was a masterclass - made it look so easy.
