Great stage that, much more entertaining than the blokes.

I was utterly gutted to Kasia! I would have loved to see her win! But what a stage!!

 

[Cathryn]

A fantastic race, thoroughly enjoyed that even though I only got to watch it on my phone this week! Pleased for Demi, sad for Annemiek and disappointed for Kasia missing out on second by a fraction of a second but she looked thrilled with the polka dots! I so love seeing gutsy women ride their bikes and look so shattered at the end! So much admiration for them!

Just checking on my local rider April Tacey , she made it all the way making the time cut on stage 7 by about 10 mins ,finishing in 116th place of 123 finishers 1hr 45mins 15secs back from Hollering

Sad to hear that Vos abandoned on stage 7. Not heard anything more about it.

Vos got dropped on the 1st climb , lotto statement just says she wasn't feeling well and abandoned in preparation for the world's

Lots of people left not feeling well! But Vos is extra sad!

WTAF was Orla wearing?

Looked like she was going to a fancy dress party as a chicken.

My wife heard Orla's voice on the TV and shouted from the other room "what is she wearing?"

I replied "Chicken outfit"

We need pictures.

Thought the format for this year‘s race worked really well. Good mix of sprint, breakaway, mountain and even the dreaded TT stage. Spread over a week it was a worthy TDF. Also good to see 120 out of 150 finish, which given some reported lurgy, suggests the organisers got it about right. The only issue was the vehicles on route, much like in the men’s race. I enjoyed it.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Have to say I was sceptical about the route as the first 6 stages all looked very similar. But it worked out well, which just shows how much I know.

Me too, hindsight is great. Over a week it’s hard to get the jeopardy and tactics you get with multiple mountain stages and the focus was really always on the Tourmalet for the GC. Fortunately for the fans it was an epic.

Did seem to be alot of arguments between DS and commissionaires! As well as alot more rule bending?!
