You need to watch two stages. Chavez takes his first win I think it's stage 2 to put the whole thing in context and then the following stage.

Tbh they made the Tour enjoyable for me, seeing them struggle through each stage against a lot of crashes the human side of it was really refreshing.

I was disappointed to hear that Geraint didn't get his glasses back despite reports saying otherwise, and Oakley still won't sort him out a pair

Orica became one of my favorite teams now after watching those videos. They have a good time :)

The number motivation for me to improve my pedaling form is to not look like Chris Froome.

Today's stage was pretty entertaining; some crashes and controversy.

Also totally unreated but I love Caja Rural and their pride, their kit and their bikes.

Watching it now. They're flying up the last climb and everyone's having a go.

Too bad about Alex Howes.

They're going so fast the spanish announcers keep making "fast" noises like "neeerroooww" and "reeeerrr".

Was there any footage of that first crash?

That one dude looked properly dead :ohdear:

Don't really give a gently caress about Teejay, but Dan Martin is a shame. I'd been enjoying him attacking a bit too late and not quite winning

Dead guy hit a pothole whilst taking a drink, he stopped breathing for a bit apparently

Teejay broken shoulder, DM broken collarbone

Sagan was super mad, and his bum looked like mincemeat

E: and he was fined 300f for naughty words

I'm glad someone's pitching a fit about it. There's no excuse for motos wrecking riders.

Funny sprint with a bunch of unknown dudes. If "Pello" had held his line instead of barging into "Jasper" he would have won, probably.
