2014 Tour De France stage 1: Leeds › Harrogate (190.5km)

[sultanofhyd]

They must think they're on Alpe D'Huez. Amazing turnout.

It looks as steep as the Alpe

 

[sultanofhyd]

Peloton has split into a billion fragments

 

[Jspear]

Horner back with the cars...anyone know why?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Splits everywhere, but everything will come back.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I guess Horner has no aspirations this Tour

Papi waiting for some burgers...

2 mechanicals

So what's the thought process of standing on the side of the road in your underwear?

His job is to help the campeon del mundo

 

[the asian]

Great to see such an enthusiastic crowd.

Watching cycling is nice. Wearing nothing but underwear is nice.

 

[Afrank]

So what's the thought process of standing on the side of the road in your underwear?

Anything to get on TV. They could do better though.

Cameras following Horner up a climb. Better get used to it. You're gonna see a lot of that in this year's Tour.

How come Jens doesn't speak to his legs in German?

There shouldn't be so many spectators encroaching the road on the descent even if it is not that steep. Dangerous.

 

[Jspear]

So what's the thought process of standing on the side of the road in your underwear?

His family and friends wanted to know how they could spot him on tv. He told them he would be very easy to see.

 

[screaming fist]

Anything to get on TV. They could do better though.

Doing better by getting rid of that last bit of fabric?

 

[Publicus]

Lotto is pushing like someone of note is dropped.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Lars Bak almost destroying the peleton by himself.

 

[BeagRigh]

Lotto is pushing like someone of note is dropped.

I'm not seeing anyone from OPQS near the front....

EDIT: they have one in the Lotto train, Kwia?

 

[Afrank]

Doing better by getting rid of that last bit of fabric?

Most definitely not. That's something know one wants to see.

But wild and crazy costumes will frequently work, like a panda for example.

 

[yespatterns]

This stage had been surprisingly entertaining thus far.

 

[JackRabbitSlims]

Crowds are impressive!

Good work Poms!

 

[yespatterns]

Also, TS's new kits don't look anywhere near as obnoxious on video as they they do in photos.

 

[Arredondo]

Purito is dropped, but no surprise really

 

[JackRabbitSlims]

obnoxious??
