Tour de France 2018

[Carlos J]

Kruijswijk about a minute ahead with 5k to go. Nibali dropped, Bernal has worked like a bitch for Sky. Probably a Sky win, maybe.

[Carlos J]

Bernal gone, Froome and Thomas themselves. See what happens.

[Carlos J]

Crowd and Motorbikes chaos, Froome going for it. Thomas led him.

[Carlos J]

Dumoulin still there and almost a group with 3k to go. Fascinating.

[Carlos J]

Froome, Thomas, Dumoulin and Bardet alone.

[Carlos J]

Wow. Comms saying would Thomas lead Froome out, but Thomas sprints out and wins. Fantastic stage.

And again, Team Sky politics, what are they now? Thomas was conservative yesterday, playing the team man in interviews. Surely equal top billing soon.

Was after Col de la Croix de Fer and before the final ascent of Alpe d’Huez, went German swingers as always good content.

Another fantastic stage today. Have to feel sorry for the Dutch rider, but superb to see Thomas win again.

IS it just me or are Sky Keeping Froome out of it .....untill the Pyrenee's to avoid the inevitable shit

Boo'ed constantly today no matter how the tv try to mute it

[Eaststand]

wait until the last 1000km when Froome magically covers the entire distance in 27 minutes.

Possibly - it would make sense. Let Thomas take a few stages and then Froome takes control next week.

I think Darky , thats how fkin cynical Brailsford etc have become , i just look at the bloke & think Omerta is alive & well in the sport still , would love Du moulin to win or Bardet ......or Thomas , i think they are clean. & have gradually progressed over the years .............The kenyan is " a freak" who was being freely offered around to other teams ....prior to "his miracle vuelta" ....where he was a last minute replacement

Highlight of the race so far , a pic my mate sent yeterday of Cav with the broom wagon up his arse refusing to die , thats respecting the race !!!!

Indeed, chapeau to Cav as per. NT:

Interesting you mention the boos. I was thinking watching are they boos on the final climb towards Sky/Froome. It happened a few times, wasn't sure.

I think today, Thomas could have dropped to let Froome get time if ever. Now to the Pyrenees, Thomas must want it, no way going to drop for team orders when over a minute ahead. Anything later could look too obviious.

Maybe seconds and wait till the individual TT, penultimate stage, but the yellow jersey cannot just sit back till then and let seconds erode. A maillot jaune shold give everything to the err death to hold the jersey.

IMO. Every fucker is watching them and rightly.

Last 2 days and the stage on the pave into Roubaix have been fantastic TV.

Far more gripping and compelling than all those matches at the WC that the commentators described as intriguing which for me, was another word for boring.
