I believe Barguil could be a better TdF prospect compared to Dumoulin, especially with there being less TT each following year. If the route has more mountaintop finishes I would have Barguil as the main guy, else you have a repeat of the Froome/Wiggins situation.

Could very well as they might add in a couple of years the some small print as for the combativity classification must hold a French passport in order to be able to win

Froome shouting slow rider keep left to Bardet was amazing :)

Should have known in France it is 'Slow rider keep right'. What a numpty.

 

(sorry, had to find a negative... Gooooooooo Chris!! )

Thomas De Gendt has been in the break on no fewer than eleven stages of this Tour, picking up more than €10,000 in prize money from climbs and intermediate sprints, and amassing over a thousand kilometres – 1,047, according to L’Équipe’s tally – off the front of the race.

hope think he deserves the most combative rider of the tour.

 

The fact that he is on my Hub Fantasy team has nothing to do with my feelings...nothing at all  :whistling:

Haven't checked every page to see if anyone else has posted De Gendt's post of Twitter... if someone just emphasises the fact that he does deserve it.

If the jury are French they will probably pull a blind one and vote for Barguil

of course! there's probably a bit of sarcasm in his post too...

Been given to Barguil. Already been updated on wikipedia, hence the sarcasm

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combativity_award_in_the_Tour_de_France

 

Team Sunweb’s Warren Barguil, in the polka dot jersey of the mountains classification winner, was awarded the “super combativity” prize for the most aggressive rider in this year’s race http://sport.tahminimce.net/2017/07/22/froome-set-to-win-fourth-tour/

Upset about that Combativity award. Fark sakes, firstly; De Gendt was in way more breaks, and secondly, Barguil already gets the Polka Dot jersey. But, ya, the French. What did one expect. As one friend of mine said, Paris would have been one of the nicest cities on earth to live in if it was not for the Frenchies in it.

Technically Landa is in the 3rd given that Bardet was supposed to be docked time for that feeding incident. Pretty ridiculous really.

 

I honestly hope he loses his podium spot tomorrow.

Can I also just say that Bardet's performance today was pretty pathetic. I've never seen a cyclist panic as much as him today. The way he went up that steep section was amateur like.

Yea sure you could have done better after schlepping through France on a bike mate.
