Tour de France 2022 with SPOILERS

[Paulus]

Best TdF that I can remember. Chapeau to everyone involved.
Can JV win the women's too?

With the amount of attacking during the stages, it reminds me of the old style tours before team orders came into play.
WvA reminds me a lot of my schoolboy hero, The Cannibal, Eddy Merckx.

Complete rider… lots of exciting grand tours in coming years hopefully

Big chapeau to Geraint Thomas aswell ! I thought considering the opposition he's had a class Tour.Thirty six years old.... there were plenty wrote him off.Im chuffed for him.

I doubt it. I'd love Vos to win but I can't see it.

I don't doubt that she would have had a few TdF victories by now if she'd had the chance - she has 3 Giro Donne after all. But this year it's AvV's to lose I think.

Enjoyed that. Hats of to Vingegaard for not just cruising in but still putting enough in for second.

But he VERY nearly lost it on that descent!!!

Rather liked WVA having a cry at the end. I've never seen him show much emotion before.

I was really moved to see him AND Vingo showing their emotions. Made the snooze-fest of an ITT quite watchable!

I went and watched the bowls in my local park

JA won his comeback race, Stage 1 of Tour de Wallonie. Apparently the TdF course was designed for him but seriously would he have beat JV or Pog?

Not Boules??

I've just watched TJV doing the champagne thing (80km to go) /spoiler.

If you can't enjoy that, as part of the crazy tapestry that is Grand Tour racing, I don't know what to say.
(Maybe head for your local dual-carriageway on Sunday morning and watch sperm heads? You could even take your own stopwatch! )

Geschke , unchallenged, wins final KOM point. Has a 2nd place rider forced to wear a jersey ever sulked on the processional stage?

Never bother with it....been a couple of times.But as for watching it....last 10k highlights will do.

Oh jeez, I'm not watching 80km live! Fettlin' bikes now - highlights later (with Gary and everyone's favourite DMillar )

 

[Dogtrousers]

Right a couple of hours of work done. Finish of TdFF watched. Garden tools from yesterday's efforts tidied. Bit of cooking done. 20k to go. Time to start watching.

I'll be fine.... it's only 26 days to go to the Vuelta.
