I get he comes from the same country as you and all that but he should not be winning the sprint stage in Paris. This year the tour has been more like the vuelta and it is poorer for it.

Would loved to have seen Garcia against Kittel battling it out.

As much as I love him cav is finished on the road and should focus on the Tokyo Olympics.

That's like saying Germany should have won the World Cup. You have to be in it to win it. Kristoff isn't as fast as he was around 2012, so on an easy stage with a flat sprint there are 4-5 others that are quicker. But on stages that are harder or uphill sprints, he's one of the best. But yesterday he was the best of those actually still in the race, and deservedly won it.

I'd love to know what the Dutch TV film crew outside the blue lagoon chip shop interviewing the locals are thinking.
Talk about culture shock.
Cameraman is now filming the culinary delights on offer.

Very sad news. Paul and Phil Liggett were the sound of my summer for many years.

What a legend, my sister lives in Richmond. When we visit we often go for a walk round the park. Will have to keep an eye out for him.

Also interesting team sky might become Colombian, not at all dodgy haha http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/ecopetrol-linked-with-taking-over-team-sky-sponsorship/

Cav is out of the Tour.

Dropped by his team.

Absolutely devastated for him, the greatest British sportsman of all time.

 

[Baleforce]

A real shame, would have been great to see him knock the cannibal off that perch.

Reminiscent of Millar being dropped in 2014.

Won’t be the same race without him. I’m really sad about this. Felt he’s lost a bit of his fearlessness in the sprint over the last 18 months though.

I think he was too cavalier in 2018 if anything.
