Good effort from Sagan but not sure he was ever coming past the breezeblock once he’d pulled out into the wind

lost his rear wheell though and still got pretty close

Shame no cav he would have had that

Well done Froomedog 😉

Anyone else notice Sagan appearing to wheelspin as he got along side Greipel?

Find out what tyres Etixx use and then don’t buy them!

Spesh, told us they were the best a few days ago

Post Tour blues starts here!

The right hand side there is really bumpy, Cav nearly went flying in that same spot a year or two ago.

Yes lost traction on the paint of the pedestrian crossing

Richie Porte’s just said that it’s no procession once they hit the CdE, struggling to hold wheels for 50km.

Either those podium girls are really tall, or Adam Yeats is short.

Sagan: Pure rock n roll 😆

I don’t know about anyone else but I enjoyed that TdF. Froome’s greatest victory too, IMO.

Little Adam Yates being dwarfed by the podium girls even though they’re on the lower steps.

**** get in there Froomey!

Good words from Froome.

Nez de brun.

Thanks Lunge and Mikewsmith for providing these threads. That was a memorable Tour de France – despite a certain inevitability at the top spot, there was plenty to enjoy throughout. Some stand-out players and thrilling performances:

Tom Dumoulin’s rainswept mountain win
Steve Cummings’ obligatory Cummingsesque solo win
Jarlinson Pantano for being an all-round beast in the mountains
Sagan and Froome’s break
Cavendish’s wily resurgence

Honourable mention to Ned and Dave’s debonair commentary.

Thanks Lunge and Mikewsmith

Yes thanks too to Mike

For folks who haven’t hoovered all this stuff up yet, there are onboard camera videos of the stages here

What an absolute gent Froome is. Even after running up the mountain he had no bitter words for anyone.
A gracious winner.

Mostly just chipping in with opinions this year. Racing done time for rio

Me too except I don’t really know what I’m talking about 🙂

Froome’s speech was very good, as mentioned above “a Gentleman”. Really enjoyed the race this year and its going to be a boring for a few days without Miller and Ned as background noise.

Thanks Lunge for your efforts much appreciated. If you ever get to the Dales let me know.
