How many of the girls are parents/mothers?
I know Bastianelli is.

Must be mindblowing to learn your mother rides a bike for a living!
What's next?... Playing in the sand for a living?

I've never been to Ireland, but sounds great to me.

Ah, true. Teams don't ever bring along a sprinter if they have a contender?

You asked about Demare. Pinot and because he’s targeting the Giro are the reasons he’s not at the Tour.

French television just showed Thomas Voeckler with a mouth mask. Now he can't show his trademark grins.

If Enric Mas wins this Tour you can all come to my home; I'll throw a party with Spanish wine, Paella and endless Valverde-videos. I will also paint a big blue M on the door of my sleeping-room and finally learn to speak more than 3 sentences in Spanish. Also I will shave my head... almost entirely.

If Nick Roche wins, it's all round mine for as much colcannon and Guinness as you can manage.

Did you ever realize there are not enough riders from India and Thailand at the Tour?

(I'll take the Guiness and leave the colcannon to the others...)

 

[Laplaz]

Break:
Schär (CCC)
Grellier (Direct Energie)
Gautier (B&B Vital Concept)

Last year it was possible to watch different broadcasts via the Eurosport player, e.g. camera 1,2,3. Anyone knows if this will possible at some point this year as well?

More like getting sand-blasted!

Not sure if the shortish leash the bunch holds breakaway on means there are plans for later.

 

[Ranagazoo]

Breakaway prediction: Jerome Cousin, Anthony Perez, Kevin Reza, Michael Schar

Oh well, at least I got one right.

 

[Red Rick]

Sam Bennett crashed? Bunch of others.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Sam Bennett crashed? Bunch of others.

Yep. And Gilbert and Pozzovivo.

 

[sir fly]

Doesn't seem Bennett hit the ground... probably just caught up.

 

[JosephK]

Everyone seems to be back on the bike. And yet, first crash already.

 

[Red Rick]

So it's gonna be 5 trains side by side all day every day?

 

[JosephK]

MAL mechanical? Racing to get back to the peloton.

Why are you complaining?
You're gonna be at the classes, anyway... if I got it right.

 

[Rollthedice]

Somehow Lopez already managed to have to chase back to the peloton.

If I can't then Imma run out of things to complain about
