Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

If Kittel gets back on, he might just win on anger alone. If...

Voekler has done 'huge shifts at the front' over the years.

I thought they said

'Huge sh*ts'.

Except it is very difficult to reach a good place where you can see the course and a big screen and moving around the course is very difficult and spectator information is almost non-existant. Newer races like London-Surrey are much more welcoming even if they are harder to see at multiple points.

Never experienced any problems moving about and managed to get loads of good vantage points around the course. You don't need much "spectator information" to work out what is happening. And the big screens help, and does the rabbiting French bloke on the speakers - not a clue what he says but he's entertaining in his enthusiasm.

We didn't have any problems. Got a great spot in view of both lengths of the Champs-Élysse, in sight of a big screen and close to an ice cream vendor.

Well done you. Must have arrived earlier than I did or gotten lucky.

That as well

And they were just saying that in the tunnel there is nothing but a group of fireman and their engine, which means they get a private view and the riders get to know the guys as they pass over the laps.

Nice.

Anybody know if Sky, Rapha, or anybody are likely to send out a special 'celebration offer' in the immediate aftermath of the tour? I assume if they do, it'll be shared here. I know some retailers have got special tour offers all week.

According to the subtitles the ITV4 competition prize includes 'psycho retail vouchers'

Marcel Kittel is having a tantrum.

I reckon one of the backroom staff punctured his reverse bike wheel for a laugh!

Well, it made me chuckle.

Rowe and Poels decided they've not worked hard enough this month.

With the Sky Rapha tie up ending I would expect there to be some serious discounting coming soon to clear the stock.

I'm going to (possibly) make a fool of myself and predict Kristoff for a narrow win.

 

[Bollo]

I'm going to (possibly) make a fool of myself and predict Kristoff for a narrow win.

Are the two related?

Kittel, powered by pure rage.

They'll make a celebration t-shirt, and flog it at the usual high price tag.

Ahem...
