If it's not bad enough with a spam infested forum that's not "contactable" a lot of the time, there's also heavy handed mods, so it's goodbye from me.

The Col de la Croix de Part climb is worth looking at on Google maps - it's a very narrow road - postioning, positioning, positioning!

Re: Ineos thought one could at the Giro ;)

If this was a one day race, I'd say it could be another Ala versus Fuglsang race. Ala - 6 seconds from the yellow jersey, but QS must be worried about burning up the team, Fuglsang, crashed heavily on stage one, so condition unknown. Astana have been taking it easy so far, so maybe they've...

Finish of stage 8 - not straight forward - Edit - translation montée = climb virage trés serré en descente = very tight turn downhill Edit - weather forecast for the finish - 26C and sunny.

Tour de France 2019 stage 8 Mâcon - Saint-Étienne 200 km Saturday's Stage 8 in the Tour de France is a race from Mâcon to Saint-Étienne. The route takes in an altitude gain of 3,750 metres and amounts to 200 kilometres. Mâcon hosted its last Tour de France in 2012. That stage took in three...

Re: Tell that to the people in Northern Ireland. You want to be in the UK, you have border controls with the Republic.

Re: Re: That's because the Giro's for crazy bike riders! (the TdSuisse did have a railway crossing in the last km which could have been "interesting") - though I hope that "keep right" sign is well marked/covered as we don't want a repeat of Cav's "superman impression" from Milan-San Remo last...

Look forward to G wining the Vuelta as well - just keep him away from the post-race buffé.

Nice 180 turn with 1500 meters to go to the finish -

9 seconds down on G, and 5 behind Bernal, so not bad so far. Can sit behind the Ineos train until stage 12, it seems.

Chapeau Teuns and Ciccone - fought to a standstill nearly. Ala better then expected, Bardet can go home now, G sprinting up a 24% gradient - do you laugh or applaud? Team Ineos played it dead right - let the peloton dawdle along lead by 1 QS rider then follow Movistar who should have been at the...

Re: Re: 13.05 CET (13.25 km 0 ) on my version of https://www.letour.fr/en/stage-6 :confused: Unless you're watching the caravan which leaves at 11.25 CET ;)

Who's in the break will be interesting though Movistar need to prove they've learnt lessons from the Giro and ride as a team.

Bardet, Quintana, LRP & A Yates need to make up for the TTT - a poor showing and it'll be more dropped time. Sagan to go in the break for the sprint points after 29 km then it'll be two groups. Who's to lead the peloton, the Ineos train?
