Pink stripe for Sky?

I suspect not, because I think they are only allowed one change per season. To change today would be to admit that they are not expecting to be celebrating on the Champs Elysees.
They had two changes last year as well. Or perhaps even three, I don't really remember.

Yeah, I guess they ask for permission to change it for that one day, they got it at the Tour and Vuelta, so they may well here too.

Well they have some pink accents on the arms and bikes, but they didn't change from blue to pink.

There are always many South American (especially Colombian of course) fans at gt starts and finishes.

Most notably there's always the Eritrean fan club with those gorgeous east African women as well. At least I saw them in Utrecht, Apeldoorn and Düsseldorf! They seem to be very keen about cycling and proud of Kudus & Tekleheimanot!

Froome and Dumoulin chatting at the back of the peloton. The incident from yesterday has been blown out of proportion.

Have you ever thought about architecture and why are those beautiful monumental buildings designed in the way that their full allure can be comprehended only from high above?
Must be that architects had cycling broadcast in mind when they've projected their masterpieces.
Just like the RCS had cycling fans in mind designing today's stage.

I meant what happened right after the finish, about him 'ignoring' Froome.

What was Bananito saying? Looked like he was battle rapping to the bike camera.

Someone, not Dumoulin, yelled an Italian cussword at Froome as well after the stage finish. Couldn't understand what it was and Leclercq wouldn't translate it of course.

It might've culattoni actually. But I don't know whether it was yelled by a spectator or an official.

It's great to see Contador with the beard and living life. I miss him in the races :sad:
