If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.

Hopefully Sagan just sandbags as hard as possible until Sunday, because Demare is getting literally towed to Paris. I do not want to see Demare win the sprint there just because literally ALL of his rivals crashed out or are too injured to contest.

Yeah but the broom wagon is almost certainly driven by a French person.

Riding in Richmond Park, which probably has the highest Fred concentration on planet Earth, I can confirm there are enough full team sky kit/ pinarello F10 riders to form several full teams

Maybe Dumoulin is just playing 5D Chess and he's going to do nothing while Froome attacks on the final climb/descent of Stage 19, forcing Geraint to blow up attempting a bridge.

Or maybe Sky has been playing 6D Chess all along and their entire gameplan was to feint Geraint in yellow and have Froome look weak, only for him to destroy the competition by 3 minutes up to final col.

Yeah Dumoulin has no chance in hell of winning this.

If it was Bardet in yellow and a random idiot caused him to crash, the race would be neutralized. Dumoulin, Thomas, Froome, (Nibali?) Nothing official.

Well, I guess it should make for some interesting speculation on leadership for the 2019 tour. I'm thinking this will probably put a stop to the Giro-Tour double attempts for good now, though.

The amount of attention the tour is getting now in Cardiff is mad. Proper weird hearing people discussing it in coffee shop queues this morning

I always have it on in the pub anyway and have done for years, but I've actually got people requesting the commentary on now and camping in for the afternoon

My local bike café was packed yesterday with people watching it
