That looked nasty

Blimey, Froome still going. I didn't expect that.

Hope everyone else is okay.

Brlliiant from Alaphilippe, got to love Julian.

That second one looked horrific.

That second one looked horrific.

It did, didn't it?

I can't remember seeing one that bad. Some woman with a little kid was so nearly taken out, and one poor bloke watching with his bike was absolutely wiped out. I'd be surprised if he isn't badly hurt.

Scary stuff.

What a , I wonder if the Gendarmerie can/will take action against him.

Shouldn’t be hard to find with his distinctive look-at-me dickhead outfit.

Edit:

It was a kid, probably with her parents.

61 year old Gary Imlach is suddenly looking very old and knackered. I remember when he was the spring chicken in the C4 TDF team.

The price of a skinny cyclists regime?

For those wanting a catch up on the day and preview of the next my favoured podcasts are

Naturally it's heavy on the TV broadcast, but it's bonus is Matt Rendell - easily the smartest man in the room, irrespective as to who else is in there with him

Not one for 1066, but a seriously knowledgeable and affable triumvirate of presenters.

Where's her vid? That'll be good.

I guess it was always going to get to this point:-

That will be a waste of time and money.

I was pleased to see that Tony M finished. It must have taken ages to dig him out of that heap.

The second crash. Did a rider hit a telegraph pole? I hope not.

3 DNFs is a low figure looking at those two crashes combined.

Cav still there and Froome is going to feel a bit second hand this morning.

He looks like he’s posing for a photo looking completely in the other direction. What a knobhead.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Whoops.
Just realised i am watching yesterdays race.

 

[Gwylan]

He?

Should have gone to Specsavers

I am getting on a bit.

 

[Razzoo]

What a ****, another example of the selfish, narcissistic selfie generation.

 

[Gwylan]

I am getting on a bit.

Aren't we all?

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

No Apehangers or Cowhorns?

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Another great stage finish, but a shame that Alpecin weren’t wearing the Mercier tribute kit - which was brilliant.

Van set Poel looks like he is going to be an absolute superstar - and his number one sport is mountain biking. Wonderful stuff.
