Gen Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Apart from the last 5 kms I thought it was a dead boring stage typical of the TDF, long, boring and slow, I had to go check the TV timetable to see I wasn't watching last years Argus. The poor commentator had to babble on trying to make out all sorts of things were brewing to try and keep the attention, when in fact everyone was simply cruising along in the sun chatting to each other. Hope tomorrow is more interesting.Mmm there was quite a bit of action within the break away.. counter attacks etc .. I actually quite enjoyed it. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Hope tomorrow is more interesting. There was Thomas de gent punishing his pedals for 35km, was great to watch. Not every day can be massive otherwise they lo become boring. Need some chill before the thrill!!

Sent from my SM-N9005 using TapatalkThe last 45 kms was intense indeed Admittedly, it was about 220+ kms of rolling terrain today which can at times be like watching paint dry (watching the gap to the break) The scenery was stunning ????????

Those lighies are crazy

Gen Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 I have now watched that finale 4 times.. Commentator was going on about Bert "losing" Porte 's wheel.. but on a few reviews you can see Bert look a round a few times to see who was there. .when he could see Sagan he pulled out and knew that naha the big guys were going to sprint that out.. clever guy.. slotted in behind Thomas or there about and just got the the finish with them.. saved some matches there. Although I am sure it hurt a bit today.. it was quite a steep climb that. . Also worth mentioning is that the yellow jersey never once looked like he was struggling and that on the first day where the road goes up says a lot.(couldn't spot froome so assume he was fine). . KWIATKOWSKI very selflessly staying with him making sure Thomas was fine.... I also once during the stage saw Froome look round to keep and eye on Thomas.. these bloody skyborgs are growing on me.
