They should attack now, just so that Froome knows what's gonna happen during the whole tour

Boardman and Imlach on ITV so far - hope this carries on for a while.

AND WE'RE OFF!

 

[LaFlorecita]

hahaha lol

Wait so he actually did have a problem. Lol.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Looks like a pre-agreed break then, no mucking about.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Yep, stopped twice.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Gilbert getting dropped.

 

[Poursuivant]

Imlach for me is one of the best presenters around. I also like Richardson on ES.

Real shame no Harmon this year.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Yep, stopped twice.

Did he crash or just a mechanical?

Wheel change then bike change - some talk of a spill but not on camera

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Mechanical.

All 3 teams that should be at the front are there, but only seen OPQS actually on the front so far.

Hope the Germans don't try to welsh on their duties here.

Cav's GB jersey is shocking!

Okay, thanks

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Looks like they're rotating properly; good.


Tight leash too, less than 3 mins.

 

[auscyclefan94]

hopefully kittel can get his act together this year. It would be a shame if it was a two horse race in the pure sprints.

 

[Cyivel]

I'm watching the rugby but seeing on twitter that reports are saying Froome hit the kerb and crashed

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

5 man break, so only single point gaps for the peloton at the intermediate (11,10,9 etc) so not much reason to push very hard at that point.

I'm more worried about Kittel than Greipel to be honest.

Would not be surprised to see Sagan back in 7th or 8th to be honest, but lets see.

EDIT -

Felt the need to further clarify how honest I was being.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Belkin kit looked OK at launch, but on the road it is horrible.

 

[The Hitch]

Ok Es panel not that great. Talking about how this may be the toughest set of Alpes ever
