then gets stopped by the cops 100m from the line.
Suppose the solour is uncategorised so the Aubisque is an HC climb.
Can’t quite put my finger on it, but I really don’t like a penultimate-day ITT.
Stick 'em all up a big fucking mountain.
Have made it 82 seconds into the CT podcast on Stage 18. Can’t be dealing with this fella talking about bar tape. Whatever accent that is, it’s not going in my ears for 45 minutes. BYE!
Don’t mind a proper last day TT. Especially where there is something riding on it. And this one is lumpy.
But I actually hate the champs Elysees stage
And yeah, his voice isn’t for everyone
Nope, hate it, always have, always will. Waste of time until the final lap.
There’s just not enough to it is there. The breakaways on the Champs itself are never remotely exciting, and the stuff leading up to it is just some guys going for a pootle through some of the least picturesque bits of France. The sprint’s OK, but it’s just a sprint.
Ideally on the last day each team should be deposited somewhere outside Paris, given a map and told to make it to Central Paris as fast as possible.
With traffic.
should get 'em to cycle up the Eiffel tower
Should be 50k or so, little pootle, champagne, bit of banter, big sprint, on the podium within 90 minutes of it starting. No need for it to be 100+k
Well if it’s going to be a short stage they ought to build a mountain on the Champs.
“at this point the course has a brief but nasty section at 50%, with potential for some attacks”
‘it looks as though froome has cracked’
audax de france
They should do it as a day/night double stage - TT earlier and then a short sprint stage as the sun goes down.
And, I dunno… build some ramps or jumps into the course for laughs…
Normal stage but they pick a number between 1 and 4,and get the corresponding bike 1 - child’s bike with tassels, spokies etc. 2 - Brompton (starts folded, they have to build it and work back on) 3 - regular road bike but with steering on the rear wheel 4 - unicycle
Jens Voigt already has this sewn up. Don’t give him a chance to come back
Hi David Millar (and now Matt Stephens)
Omerta, but I’m not gonna talk about doping.
Wonder how shit a bike you’d have to put a drugfilled Pro on for me to beat them up a mountain.
Aggpass vs. Chris Froome up ventoux but he’s on a Boris bike with 2 flat tyres
