A quick heads up.
ITV4 have Dauphine highlights at 10pm. Tonights will be worth a watch in a, will they or won't they stay away?, kinda way.
Tomorrow is ITT, followed by another will they or won't they stage on Thursday.
Then we have 3 days of serious climbing that should give us some indication of where the climbing legs of most of the TdF GC are at.
All kicks off on Friday with Mont du Chat - purportedly the hardest climb in France no less! The stage will feature a descent finish after Mont Chat, just like a stage in this years Tour. Worth buckling up and seeing what Bardet gets up to for that one if nothing else.

Sounds good. I just hope that I am in the right mood to watch some cycling on Friday...

I didn't realise Peugeot had entered the market again. Electric bikes available over here by the looks of it, but the road bikes seem to be only available over the Channel. Bit plain for my liking - but still lovely looking machines....

Wonder how long til a French team starts using them? I would love to see them start sponsoring a squad again as well....How cool would it be to see that legendary chequered jersey back in the peleton?!)

Yeah but its TT every night at 9 on ITV4 too. No excuse for not watching both.

No offence Moto, but I'd rather watch paint dry than watch motor sport.

A, no question. Black jerseys are just a bad idea, imo.

Disagree absolutely. I have several black jerseys. Love 'em.

I do like the plain black look, & have a black jersey I use a fair bit - but I will wear my bright blue one as much as I can, purely because it stands out more. Hence my vote for A (plus that one is a nice nod to the football club)

Today's Dauphine stage is a must watch folks!
Don't miss it on highlights or 'as live' on Eurosport.

Just...wow.
Very reminiscent of this years Giro, just without a long, very long, 2 weeks of turgid, boring nothingness beforehand.

I had a little look at TdF betting odds in the wake of the Dauphine as I think it could be more open than ever this year.
I agree with the bookies. Froome is still favourite, with Porte second fav (or complete fail).
I know some will laugh, but I couldn't resist a sneaky e/w on Aru @22/1. I know how this season has been for him, but even so, I was surprised to see him so long (some even have him at 33/1 !). I'm thinking Tom D in 2015 Vuelta following his TdF early abandon. Joint leadership with Fuglsang might actually work in their favour quite nicely, and he can TT too.

I was actually thinking along the same lines - so no facepalm from me. I reckon he could surprise a few people.

Dont you hate it when you get to work after a sweaty ride, & realise you've not brought any work clothes to change in to? Bugger.
Guess its a very casual Friday in the office for me today.
