TdF Stage 21 – Around The Arc-de-Triomphe [Spoilers]

Drink!

Christ. Going to run out of booze at this point.

you poor bugger…

I did that on BES on the alp stages whenever they disapproved of the crowd. I lost whole days…

/doffs hat to David Millar. What a performance.

It’s miller time!

Drink Jamie Drink

I’m watching on NBC here – none of that Eurosport gibberish – just the traditional gibberish.

Might have to pre-order a kebab…

Millar time is over…

Oh dear you are drinking Czech rocket fuel hope you don’t have anything important to do tomorrow.

Oh and drink again – “trying to sneak into the flat part at the side if he road.”

Millar time is over…

I knew it had to happen, but still it makes me sad…

What the hells happened to this gold sequined jersey. Dissapointed 🙁

“As we watch the sun go down”
It’s the moon
“I wonder if they organised that?”

🙄

They could use some suspension cycling on all them cobbles.

I think it reacts to the lights or something. So won’t be all spangly until the turn the lights on.*

*This is probably rubbish. I’m smashed.

What the hells happened to this gold sequined jersey

it was supposed to be a full body thing wasn’t it? forget the word, no leotard… but close. Gimp suit, not, errr…

All will no doubt be revealed when the lights come on.

Can’t see any mega output lights on the bikes or pedal reflectors…

Froome will dance in a sequinned top later for your pleasure

If that’s true, he must, MUST strike some disco moves in a LMNH kind of way!

doh, drunken-sequin-covered-spangly-froome-fueled-hyper-clicky-doublepost bug… 😳

Is it me or does it look like Sky are helping Omega a little? Certainly seem to be shielding Cav a little.

Hopefully, it will work like a Nike Vapor Flash jacket…

Vichod for the wooden spoon

I wondered if they just might given he’s an old teammate and they have no sprinter…

not help as such, but just happen to get in the way a little…

I was also wondering if sky are helping their pal cav

Apparently there’s a slight gradient on the champs élysées!?

So, I’ve established the road construction but what about the gradient. It looks flat but is it?

Allez Cav

Really ? Fascinating stuff, perhaps Liggett and Sherwen should let us know about that. 😉

champs élysées is a cat 2 climb

I wonder if there’s a particular bit of the road which is smoother than the rest?

Did anyone hear BES say how the Cat system came about a day or two ago?

They were doing the majority of the chasing early doors and they don’t have any particular cause to.

So is there a Strava jersey this year?

Sagan’s beard is green .looking forward to the podium. Hoping he’s bunnying onto it.

nice view of those horse bollocks

LOL @ allthepies. 🙂

I was also wondering if sky are helping their pal cav

Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest; Peter Kennaugh is a fellow Manxman and pretty much every other Sky team member was there with Cav last year.

Only downside of course is that the leadout needs to be PERFECT and well practised and Cav may not actually appreciate their direct help if it screws up a leadout he’s practised with OPQS.

Do you think we’ll have another live rendition of the national anthem. It was definitely a highlight last year.

Have Phil and Paul mentioned that it’s normally grid lock in the morning?

That’s some top bell ringing.

Nothing to stop them getting in other people’s way though, and saving their legs early on…

“For Froome the bell tolls” very good!

for froome the bell tolls

😡
