Tour de France 2017 ***SPOILERS***

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I've just edited my punditry pick to stick in a GC rider as well as a couple of Frenchies.

Froome at 50/1, and Aru and Porte at 80/1 are decent enough prices to stick a quid on - and Pinot and Gilbert at 25/1

Did you know that today's finish town got its name from the fact that third-century dragon-botherer George of Lydda used to hang out here in his teenage years? Had a bit of a reputation locally as a party animal. The famous myth actually came about due to his love of heroin.

Is this the same st George of Portugal?

The commissaires will be changing thumbing the rule book to make sure Demare does not get excluded due to time limit.

When turning on and saw 'gr Demare' I was confused as to how the grupetto formed before the first 'proper' climb, and then saw it was just him and a couple of others, what happened?
