Eldron Posted July 24, 2018 Share I would guess farmers - it wouldn't be the first time farmers stopped the race. Underachiever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted July 24, 2018 Share Race stopped due to smelly french protesters.... viva le resistance! Yeah... difficult to point that at 'cosmopolitan crowd'  Really difficult to blame the UK for Brexit. Jewbacca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisismyotherbike Posted July 24, 2018 Share I would guess farmers - it wouldn't be the first time farmers stopped the race. What could French farmers possibly be protesting against? All the illegal subsidies they receive from their government? Pure Savage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMartin Posted July 24, 2018 Share Teargas. You are kidding! That stuff is no fun at all, a friend tells me. Be interesting to see who tests positive for what after inhaling that. Or if they will allow higher levels of whatever asthma medications everyone uses. Nothing like a face full of teargas to tighten up the chest a little, I am told.

Gen Posted July 24, 2018 Share What could French farmers possibly be protesting against? All the illegal subsidies they receive from their government? They protest during the TDF every year..normally line up a field with lots of tractors, with a few banners up.. first time in years that the have caused an incident and forced the race to be stopped. Was it the police teargas that caused the issue with the riders eyes?   Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Underachiever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted July 24, 2018 Share What could French farmers possibly be protesting against? All the illegal subsidies they receive from their government? Probably protesting at the reduced subsidies as the cash cow of Brexit will leave a big hole for them and they may have to work hard for a living.....

HappyMartin Posted July 24, 2018 Share Do you think we might see people trying to move into different groups to help there teams tomorrow with the group starts. I see if Bernal picks up about 90s he could move into the top 20 and would then start with CF and GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see if Bernal picks up about 90s he could move into the top 20 and would then start with CF and GT.If you can figure this out, then the other teams have figured this out and I doubt they would 'allow' Bernal to pick up 90s. He will have to earn those 90s and that is going to be difficult. If all the teams were in as big a disaray as Katusha then maybe, but I'm sure Sunweb and Movistar have that in their minds HappyMartin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
