2017 Tour de France

[Shebeen]

Jumping ahead one day. What time is tomorrow's short stage starting?

 

I unfortunately wasted my "one afternoon a month off" on last week Wednesday's damp squib. Quite sure there will be fireworks tomorrow.

Damp road alert:

 

Weather: rain will clear to leave sunshine and clouds, a mild 22°C in the valleys and cooler in the summits.

Who will unseat the Skybot dominance of the golden fleece?

“Peter is fine. I spoke to him this morning. He is back in the right mind. He took a few days rest, and once again, he is super-motivated. He is focused now on the world championships.”

LA mentioning what an honor it is to have Mtb Legend Tinker Juarez following the Stages podcast

 

"Still crushing fools on a daily basis"

 

I was one of those fools in 2010 at the Rietvlei 24hr

See Live screening here only scheduled for 14:27. Is that correct? On such a short stage I wanna see ALL the action from the gun.

Thanx for the update. Just switched over. Whoopee.

Jakob is riding. Hope he manages to stay the course.

A move of about 15-20 riders has got a sizeable gap. Hovering at the back is the green jersey of Marcel Kittel. He's on the wheel of Michael Matthews. Both of these riders are interested in the points of the green jersey competition. Others involved are Steve Cummings, Bennatti, Diego Ulissi, Jack Bauer, Nils Pollit and Thomas De Gendt.

Might this be Cummings' day today?

See he is in the breakaway, but no real lead on the peloton yet. Only about 30secs.

I can't see him making it all the way today, but I love being proven wrong, especially if it means a Cummings win. Would have thought that he would target tomorrow... maybe gamesmanship before his real attempt tomorrow...
