Le Tour.

[AlGard]

Same order as last year me thinks.
Stick it up the plastics Froomey!

Cav !!!!!! Yellow Jersey

 

[AlGard]

Did anyone spot me and Mrs G on the 1st stage?

 

[AFCB Ironman]

Which one is you Al ?

 

[AlGard]

Shirt 1321 :hihi:

 

[Earshot]

I saw that at the time. Reactions of the camera man to pan away would have made Boruc proud.

What a fantastic first stage. Kudos to Cav for not binning himself this year!

 

[glenmorangie]

Cav wins again !!!!!!!! German second... :grin:

 

[SteveJonesLegend]

Cav is on fire this year... team Dimension Data must be so pleased with how things have gone for them... 2 stage wins, Yellow Jersey and now Cav in the Green Jersey proper after yesterday...

Really sticking the fingers up at the big money spenders of the pro peloton, with only 5 riders able to compete in the sprint finishes, they're doing amazing.

No wonder Cav wanted to reassemble the latter half of his old HTC train... Bernie and Renshaw (and EBH) really doing the business for him...

Long may it continue as well... Great start to this year's Tour

 

[Ivyhouse]

So pleased to have been proven wrong. I seriously thought his time had gone after the last couple of years. Hopefully he can sustain it in Rio and get the other big one missing from his cabinet.

 

[AlGard]

Brilliant Chris Froome.

 

[tednphil]

A frightening long descent, expertly handled.

 

[stifflersmom]

Brilliant from Froome's today. Much less effort to gain that time than by doing it uphill. Respect.

 

[AFCB Ironman]

Was it just me or did Froomey sound a couple of octaves higher on interview after that descent today ?

 

[SteveJonesLegend]

WTF was that all about...???? Never have I seen such chaos at the end of a stage... No spoilers from me, but what a finish!!!!!

 

[glenmorangie]

That is the only way Quintana can beat Froome. What a farce.

 

[Lord Snooty]

Too many spectators because the course had been shortened....a total mess....

 

[Xchurch_Red]

Well done Froomie - fully deserved
