Great tactics from Armitstead... A great win with no team support at the end.

The constant picture breakup is really annoying... You'd think they might have fixed it since yesterday. :mad:

Debusschere and the last lead out guy looked totally unconvincing, also not sure why they didn't pick Greipel...

Re: Yep, they are certainly maximising the ad revenue :( I'm switching between them and Eurosport, their breaks seem to be out of sync now. Still not sure whether I find Carlton or Paul more irritating though.

Re: French director is French :) Although they do seem a bit more chauvinistic with the coverage than usual this year.

Re: Stage 19: Saint-Jean-de-Maurienn - La Toussuire-Les Sybe Replay of the first climb with Greipel and Gallopin off the back already.

Re: The descent off here is also the first part of the Col de la Madeleine, and it's another narrow, bumpy and technical one.

Re: Stage 19: Saint-Jean-de-Maurienn - La Toussuire-Les Sybe Seems a bit early to have Porte and Thomas on the front... Maybe Froome wants to win this stage so they don't want the break to get too far ahead.

Re: Tour de France 2015 Stage 17: Digne-les-Bains-Pra Loup 1 You have to say they've all missed a big opportunity to attack Froome properly on that climb. He was down to 2 teammates, but now even Stannard is back on. Maybe they're aiming to do the same on the Allos.

I thought Froome sprinting against Quintana was fine. Quintana had attacked first, and was riding to improve his position, Froome didn't need to help him do that at at all. Since Quintana is his main rival, why not then try to take some more time If he had the chance.

Anyway, great to see Cummings win such a hard stage. I still remember seeing a full page picture of him in 1999 in Cycling Weekly when he won the Aintree GP as an 18 year old.

French TV now celebrating (again) Jalabert's win from 1995.

Pinot threw that away... Why was he waiting at the top of the climb.

French TV commentary getting very nervous now
