villakram Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Great stage today. Baring a crash in the TT, Froome should be home and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Boasson Hagen or Matthews to take the last stage? My bet's on Eddie. Well done to Froome, Matthews, Barguile, and Yates for their jerseys. Let's hope Porte comes back next year to make it even more of a race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veloman Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) What a brilliant achievement by Chris Froome; surely has to be SPOTY . That mountain stage on Saturday !! Never seen anything like it, think he was using mtb gearing. Some reports saying he is already eyeing up 2018 Tour de France !!

LondonLax Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It's quite an achievement in the modern era. A part of me would love to see him target the Giro and potentially hold all three Grand Tours at once but he will target Le Tour number 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I would lke to see him go for the classics(LBL, Fleche and Amstel) and of course nr 5 next season. Nice of him to let Contador have his last stage win too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Been cycling around London for an age. For the majority of that time the major immediate threat has been cars and lorries with pollution being an unknown quantity. Now it's the state of the roads. They're fecking shocking. Lethal in fact. Cycled home from Soho yesterday on a route I used for a decade. The roads in some places looked like they'd been shelled. Deep, steep holes down to the cobbles. Going out of town to non Glamorous Surrey ended up taking a road bike across a field because of parallel cracks running down the road, they were wider than my wheels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been contemplating getting a mountain bike because the state of the roads and cycle paths are so bad. Apart from the risk of being thrown off, or damage to the bike ( a hybrid) there's the juddering and shock right through my back. Potholes and shagged roads are everywhere. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I hadn't heard Paul Sherwen died until today, very sad. Nice push by the Frenchman yesterday to take the yellow jersey on home soil after two days in Belgium. Is this the year one of the Colombians wins it? I'd like to see it.

veloman Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 The Colombians ! Yep. reckon Nairo Quintana has a good chance. Comes across as being very unassuming and , irritatingly , speaks great English , as do many of the pro cyclists. Alaphillipe , best chance for a French winner for quite a while AND is a drummer in his spare time !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Bernal is the big favourite this year. He looks the strongest and was born at altitude. Quintana is too old (forget his stated age, it's a joke) and once paced to win it IMO. Michael Woods is my outsider for a podium.

maqroll Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Great Tour. Alaphillipe impressive in all disciplines. Nairo Quintana failing in the mountains. Should be a really exciting final week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Alaphilippe is so fun to watch. He's the best thing to happen to the race since Contador retired, in racing terms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be pinot's to win now but you never know how the bodies will react in the third week. I just hope it's close going into Saturday. It would be nice to have a french winner but I wouldn't mind seeing Kruijswjk win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphouneso Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Cracking Tour, perfectly set up for a brilliant last week. Wouldn't surprise me to see DQT try something tomorrow, they know they can't do much for JA in the mountains so the slightest sniff of wind tomorrow and I think they'll be all over it.
