Thomas cracks, froome either drops Tom on the last climb/descent or takes time out of him in the TT, the entire nation of France descends into comedy

Very pretty road

2 things could happen;

Big attack from a lower GC contender (Bardet or Kruiswijk maybe) on the Tourmalet draws out 4th/2nd, so sky have to then defend over the Soulor.

Or sky ride tempo killing the race and somebody tries something on the descent of the Aubisque.

Probably the latter. The Soulor/Aubisque really isn’t hard enough to crack a team like sky in. And Poels took it dead easy yesterday

@japes aspin is lovely

chapeau alaphillipe: polka confirmed (barring withdrawal)

Hopefully I’ll get home before the action then

Bit disappointed he just limited the celebration to zipping up the jersey.

Not many opportunities left to see Sagan in fishnets.

I think if this race went on for another week I’d actually end up booking a funeral by accident.

Not watching the coverage but from what I’m seeing online, Sagan is an absolute world of pain. Someone saying he was struggling up the steps to sign on.

Sagan

  • Will finish in the time limit
  • Will finish outside the time limit, but will somehow be reprieved
  • Will finish outside the limit and have to go home
  • Will get off the bike

LOVE IT when you get teams riding hard to protect 13th place in the GC or whatever

At the back with over 100km, the Tourmalet and Aubisque ahead. I think he’ll be off the bike before the end.

The Euros are a couple of weeks away, so hoping he’ll back by then. I was looking forward to seeing him through in Glasgow.
