Would have liked to see Froome in KOM – but Quintana will certainly deserve it.

Oh my.

No, I think Froome is done in now.

Quintana came back easily ther.

Run out of gel

Was kind of hoping Froome might celebrate a bit more – does he feel he’s lost a jersey rather than winning one?

Tour winner
Exciting stage
Couple of new and exciting riders with Quinatan and kripel
Steak eaters suffers

Super now Cav for tomorrow

Porte’s dropped Contador!

Sounds like epic stuff this! 😀

rather more exciting than the cricket today!

Root just got his ton to relieve the boredom

Have they been laughing at Contador off camera? 🙂

Shhh, no cricket spoilers on here please 🙂

Just popped one of Froomey’s gels 😉

What a great tour this year. Im a bit scared for Cav tomorrow though.

bertie got done by the Colombians, is there some kind of karma working here?

Cav has some serious competition tomorrow in kittel gripel and Sagan

and Goss

It’s really hard to detect sarcasm over the internet..

I had to check it wasn’t Realman with his manlove posting that. Since when has Sagan been serious competition to Cav in a straight sprint?

Even I have to admit it’s either going to be Kittel, Greipel, or Cav..

Sagan is always an outside favourite though.

If they dont get the lead out perfect tomorrow I think Kittel will get it.

For example

Not exactly a Champs Élysées finish though.

Classic stuff today. Would have been an epic win for Richie Froome (if you watch ITV), but it’s fitting that Quintana got it – he deserved it.

Tough day ahead for Cav tomorrow. Can he do it again? Or is Kittel gonna wee on his chips? I’ll be watching through the gaps in my fingers…

Froome did look spent. Suspect it was relief more than disappointment at missing out on polkadots. Says something when we expect him, with a 5 min coushin in yellow, to go out and win the stage.

Interesting Tour tactics by sky though to effectively go out and win it on the first mountain finish (up Ax 3). Usually end up waiting till the last couple of hard stages to see any GC attacking in recent years. Increasingly felt like Froome was just hanging on in the last few stages as Quintana and Purito got stronger.

Edit: almost forgot… 3 stage wins, some great attacking riding, yellow jersey… chapeau Christopher Froome 🙂

Yeah… it’s not bad is it! 😀

Really liked Quintana’s ride there. Deserves every jersey he gets.

Well done Chris Froome , I wasn’t a major fan before but would have to say this tears tdf has been better than last . Froome attacked more than Wiggins and Quinatana has been the star of the show for me. Great work from Porte and bravery from Geraint Thomas.

Good race.

You could almost say it’s like Armstrong 😈

You could almost say it’s like Armstrong

“I see Sky’s in blue, Sagan’s in Green”
“Froome’s won the Tour, Contador’s a has been”
“And I think to myself, what a wonderful world”….
