Tour de France 2026 ***Spoilers***

[No Ta Doctor]

So invisible he doesn't show in the results between the 5th place Austrian and, presumably, 7th place Norwegian who is shown as 6th in the official results.

He's Northern Danish. Some people erroneously refer to this as "Norwegian".

Yeah, that's the fella.

Thor Hushovd had the best climbing legs he ever had in that Tour!

Was that the year Cav sought him out after a mountain breakaway to shake his hand even though they were days from Paris?
Thought that was a very classy moment.

I think that was 2009 where he'd gone over a load of mountains to pick up the intermediate points.

This Tour he won a stage that went over the Aubisque, and one into Gap with a 2nd Cat climb with 10k to go

Bauke Mollema finished 2nd on one of the stages and Ben Swift rode for Team Sky

Same. Campenaerts, Affini, Armirail and Jorgenson is somme pretty serious firepower. It's clear they've also selected with the first week in mind

Hmmm, I pulled Affini out of my Velogames team on learning that he'd taken a big tumble at the Nationals, but now I hear he's back and confirmed in the VLaB line-up... What to do?

 

[Legs]

Warming up for this year's race by watching the 2011 race. Surely a contender for the best race of recent memory? Maybe surpassed by 2003?

I really enjoyed 2008, too.

Pog getting turned over by roglic and Jonas was a good tour
