The Official 104th Tour de France thread

I know Le Tour has to have HC climbs, but today doesn't half feel like an 'after the lord mayors show' event.

This descent is insane!

Gotta wonder if cycling outside is the sport for G.

Agreed. Love the bloke but he continually has trouble staying on his bike. Real shame he's out.

That's the bad news...The good news is the Bardet stage is so far living up to its billing. Superb stuff!

Thanks to me and my previous post.

I'm off out now, so enjoy the next passage of play, it'll be amazeballs.

Aru and Froome handbags

We have a real race on our hands

Nasty one there. Porte not looking good.

 

[Postman Pat]

Wow big crash for Porte and out of the race.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Porte crashes on another mad descent - taking out Dan Martin at enormous speed.

Terrifying.

 

[1066familyman]

Oh bollox! Porte out
Not good for Dan Martin either

 

[1066familyman]

Hope Porte is ok here because that looks really nasty.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Porte still hasn't moved. I hope they've warned the peleton.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Porte is a donkey.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Porte is a donkey.

There's a time and place. Let's just hope he's okay, eh?

 

[1066familyman]

Bardet in beast mode. This stage was quite literally designed for him I think as much as the opener was for Kittel.

 

[Hamilton]

This is terrifying

He'll be fine. 0 life threatening injuries.

Has Aru had a pep talk from Nibali? What a swine.

That crash was a sickener. HTBF did Dan get up from that? Hope its just precautionary for Porte.

Thank you Dr. Biggums.

Real shame for Dan Martin to crash, twice. Top ride to stay with the best over the top. If they catch Bardet then Martin probably would have won the stage here in the sprint.
