Tour de France Tour de France 2024, Stage 10: Orléans > Saint-Amand-Montrond, 187.3km

[Poursuivant]

Perhaps a juvenile observation, but you just know when a rider is about to fart because there's a certain way you have to position yourself on the bike saddle...

Perfect! Even the race is trolling Vingo

Unseemly behavior that damages the image of the cycling forum.

200 Swiss francs fine.

Last 25 km. I still think they'll fight for position on the narrow road, but it's likely too weak a wind for splits.

@Netserk got us all wound up for nothing. I really expected something after the images a few hrs ago.

Almost as boring as watching the Euros

Is there a good English translation?

Well the hardback that I read numerous times in my childhood home, was not English or French translation for that matter, but it looks like there is:

The Big Show: The Classic Account of WWII Aerial Combat…

'THE BIG SHOW is as close as you'll ever get to fightin…

Off-topic when gliding through Loir-et-Cher.. Time well spent is reading the book of Pierre-Henri Closterman; Le Grand Cirque. It's a true story of young French fighter pilot in ww2, he was 19 when he went in and 25 when the war ended. Superb storytelling that is easy to read, kinda sad but happy ending. No modern tech jets not yet, you just grab your Hawker Hurricane, Spitfire, or that 2400 hp gasoline Tempest and try to win the game.

Speaking of books, is there a better book on cycling than Slaying the Badger by Richard Moore?

Unseemly.

 

[AmRacer]

Or maybe if UAE taking it more seriously. Still there were gaps, i don't know what people expect, 10 minutes? Get real.

It's not the minutes, but it would've been better racing and attacks earlier.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Was there a Didi Senft sighting?

 

[Netserk]

Sharp turn now. The next one is to the left and on the narrow road.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

20km to go

 

[Netserk]

Please, give it a go at the turn!

 

[KOM]

Absolutely disgraceful... The only thing missing is a Philipsen win

 

[Taxus4a]

Is Froome Dawg staring at his power meter?

He even got angry, I dont now why, and thow a bottle to the groung with some violence... Much more interesti8ng stage, they didnt stop since the start...

Shouldn’t they fine the camera person instead?

 

[Tim Cahill]

They seem to have relaxed the rules on using extra-curricular surfaces to overtake.

 

[Netserk]

Bah, no wind.
