I thought you were talking about yesterday, sorry! I was 6 years away from starting cycling in 2014 so my history knowledge isn’t great 😅

There was a conversation, a page or two back, about him getting the same time as the peloton (in 2014), so surely Roglic could get the same time. Sadly it doesn't work like that.

 

edit: seems I too can't read... the comment that started with Froome getting the same time was 2016, and the infamous run up Mt Ven2 ☺️

What happened to Louis?  Why did he loose so much time?

Perhaps not as comfortable on cobles as we thought he might be?

Burning question is will MCN be in the break today for the 5th day running?

From my view, the spectator was "in the road", looking at the group that has passed them. He wasn't looking behind himself until it was too late and that's what makes it look like they got out the way.

Almost all the spectator's feet are in the road

I’m sure “the road” is the cobbles and not the gutter.

I'm not going to agree/disagree on where the road is, but they have influenced the crash by stepping in towards the "road" to see riders that have passed.

Roglic dislocated his shoulder in the fall yesterday. H e borrowed a chair from a spectator and levered it back in, got on his bike and gave chase....

This oke deserves better luck

Remember to tune in early. Coverage starts at 11:50 as today's stage is the longest of this year's Tour at 220km.

I edited my post about Froome... it was 2016, not 2014.

Do you work for DSTV?

Lol, no. 

I just know that there are people out there who don't have the savvy for a vpn and also can't stand the glitchyness/ dodgyness of Tiz cycling and might not be aware that you don't have to get the full dstv package to watch the Tour.

I am on the road all the time and I appreciate the fact that you can set the dstv stream quality to suit your data availablity and still be able to get a pretty stable feed - even with a less than desirable mobile signal.

Was just joking, I do get it as i don't even know what VPN stands for.

As small as Pidcock is, Ineos kit has him resembling Ant-Man.  What’s happened to Ant-Man, and what are his prospects?
