Tour De France 2023
+1, was great to watchMichael5482 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 01, 2023 4:37 pmAbsolutely superb, elite sport at it's very best. Great to see two brothers from the UK take 1st and 2nd on the 1st stage of the Tourr de France.
Shame about Mas and Carapaz.
especially once they'd covered the first 150m of that final bank and the chasing group had no chance of catching

Compelling watching so far, hopefully Cav's team mates can deliver him today and put him in with a chance.
I'm only now just catching up on yesterdays highlights but that was one of the best run in's I've seen for any stage over recent years
Hats off to the course designers it really provided for a fantastic technical and tactical finish

5th for Cav is about right. Maybe there wer some surface issues but it's the same for everyone and several guys screwed up Particularly the last one. Crashing on a wide track in a straight line. That's a bit weird for me. Have to have a look at the rest of the stages for another opp for Cav, but he sounds a bit cheesed off.Michael5482 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 4:51 pmSome bad crashes on the race track. Maybe a bit slippy in places, see what the riders say shortly.
EDIT: Cav's suggesting stage 7 and 8 might be possible wins.

That's what I thought bit weird 3 or 4 crashes on a pancake flat motor racing track.greenmark wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 5:02 pm5th for Cav is about right.

Think Cav got a little caught out by the final lead out and kicking himself for it but he's been right up there last two days. Hopefully he can tuck himself up and get through these next two mountain stages and go again in Bordeaux in a few days time.

Another stunning finish and attack for Pocagar right back in the race.
Wout Van Art is sub-human an absolute machine.

Sub-human machine vs superhuman. I suspect you meant the latter. Missed it due to the cricket. Will catch the highlights though thx.Michael5482 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 06, 2023 4:32 pmAnother stunning finish and attack for Pocagar right back in the race.
