'Dale Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 ⚠️⚠️⚠️ The rain has arrived in Morzine and it's heavy #TDF2016
'Dale Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Kreuziger up to second on GC now, around 3'45 off Froome's lead. Still not a huge danger to the yellow jersey as they have eight men to chase and the Tinkoff team have three in the break but a number of other teams in the top ten with GC interests need to think about contributing to the chase.
'Dale Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Very swift transition through the feed zone for the break They're intent on moving
Gen Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Beautiful race situation So many subplots ????Love it.. so much going on.. and much at stake...
Bonus Posted July 23, 2016 Author Posted July 23, 2016 Hope this is the right place to post. So, tomorrow I will by in centre of the universe, Paris!! Took a wide return trip from Austria. Any suggestion on the best plan of action tomorrow. Where and how late. I would like to be close to the finish, but I assume so does another few thousand other people. Also, where would be the best place to get some souvenirs. Hope some Hubbers has been here previously and can give me some advice If you are serious about being near the finish and at the front of the crowds, a very early start is in order. We got down to the barriers around 6:30 am. We were among the first people there, but not THE first people there. This is around 8 hrs before the race arrived - but the entertainment starts much earlier. I took food and drink, but you need a second person to hold your space for toilet breaks! Was well worth it for me. Enjoyed it and got to see everyone close-up. Also was opposite a big screen so watched the race come into Paris.

'Dale Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 I'm beginning to like this Pantano bike rider ???????????????? Due to head to Trek Segafredo next year
'Dale Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 The rain has started once more as Astana bring the break back to 5'55. Nibali probably won't work from now on as Sagan looks back to see if he'll get some support. He swings over and Pantano takes over and then Nibali does the shortest turn possible. The eight riders are working a little better now but Sagan is constantly coming back to the front to take over.
'Dale Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Trialongo and Grivko are the two Astana riders doing the grunt work as the peloton start the 14km long Col de la Ramaz. Nibali, up the road, just sits at the back of the break as we once again see Sagan toiling on his own at the front. He's holding the break's advantage at 5'39.
HappyMartin Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 What would make a big fat bloke drop his pants and wave his wobbly white arse at Sagan? Seriously. People really do remind me of baboons.
Gen Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Yoh Sagan is killing himself out there today. Think Alaphilippe must go help him a bit.
