[Other Sport] 2023 Tour de France

[zefarelly]

Wow. Did you see glaciers at the top? Would’ve been far more prominent then.

I was going to say, did you have the old school skinny body we all had in those times … before the McDonalds and energy drink generations squashed us.

We made snow balls at the top, they were a bit icy . . . I was, as my son is now, a 6'2" racing snake.

the energy drink McDonalds thing hadn't been invented then, still not on the radar.

This has to be the most unpredictable and unusual TdF in years!

Brilliant. Pogacar is recovering during the race.
And what a day's sport. I've just watched the cricket highlights, the TdF highlights, and am now on to the delight of the Murray-Tsitsipas slugfest.

I checked out Vingegaard’s weight, he looked so tiny to everyone else today in terms of frame …. just 9.5 stone. Perfect for climbing, he was immense today.

Envious.

His head looks like a skeleton

He looks nothing like Enric Mas.

Fair play to the organisers starting with an incredibly tough week.
I'm guessing they might pay for that in week 3, but so far so good.

Yes, and it ends with the Puy de Dôme on Sunday

 

[METALMICKY]

Highlight so far!

Not really, not when you know just how bogus Merckx' 'record' is and that Cav is the only true Tour de France stage winning GOAT.

 

[BrianB]

Sad way to finish.

 

[pb21]

Must be absolutely gutting for it all to end it like that

 

[World of Sport]

I thought he was still in with a chance, just love watching him race

 

[Beach Hut]

Double bollox

 

[m20gull]

I think that sums it up perfectly.
