Phil busting Jens' balls was the funniest thing he has done over the last three weeks.

Re: Re:

Let's spin it and find some history: he's the first anglophone rider to win both the overall and mountains classifications in the same Tour.

Indeed, but then you can wonder how relevant that is

First British rider to win multiple tours/grand tours.

Only British rider to win multiple tours/grand tours

are you being serious? as its only just happened first and only are exactly the same.

If you read the quoted comments you would have seen the context to which my comment was written...

Yeah. "Team time trial victories don't count..." ahaha

 

[Steven Roots]

Nelson Oliveira one stage away from completing the Tour unnoticed. Such a shame.

Re: Re:

The first British rider to lead the mountains classification whose surname is not Millar (Robert and David).

Now, that's a statistic!

Nice. But nothing will ever reach Bill James describing Junior Griffey (once voted as one of the best 30 baseball players of all time) as the "the second-best left-handed hitting, left-handed throwing outfielder ever born in Donora, Pennsylvania, on November 21".

Can't be serious.

Froome mechanical?

 

[Netserk]

Michael Rogers is making history as he is the first Australian former ITT WC to finish on the same team as a 4 time green jersey winner.

 

[Netserk]

Thibaut Pinot is making history as the first French rider who has won on Alpe d'Huez the stage before to puncture on Champs-Élysées

Here's the quote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Musial
On the flip-side Griffey can rest easy knowing it will probably be a few years before someone pushes him to third on that list.

That's nothing. Peter Sagan is making history as the first 4 time green jersey winner on the same team as an Australian former ITT WC in a Tour won by someone with a rhinoceros design on their bike.

I know I'm wrong I was just having a little snarky fun.

Greipel is the only person to witness it while having greipel in his surname?

 

[TMP402]

I think everyone's overlooking that this is the first Tour de France held in France in 2015.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Many punctures. Strange.

 

[TMP402]

Are we currently ahead or behind schedule?

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Simon Geschke the first german to win a TdF stage with a full beard & finishing spot on 38th in CG... now that is history in the making.

Behind a little.

Re:

We're behind even the slowest schedule planned, with the ETA at 7.19.

Dark podium pictures again. I'm guessing at least one enterprising journo will play up the symbolism.
