Why isn't this stickied anyway?

I would if I could but this thread was made so late and I think people are in general, over the Tour.

Apparently nobody appears to care, thanks to RedheadDane for making the effort though.

Congrats to Wiggo, TVG, Sagan and TV for their respective victories.

Dull stage today with the green already decided, pity that Wiggins was such a strong rider that he even needed the past green jersey and current World Champion jersey wearer to work for him which took away from the points race this year, still win number three should follow today for Cav.

It is impossible to get away from the bunch on the Champs Elysses like Vino in 2005. He only succeeded because eveyone thought it was impossible, but now that he has proven it can be done it really is impossible

Which - oddly enough - is also what makes it possible. Obviously only if someone proves it is...

By the way - when or where's the champagne - I missed that bit last year and 2010, don't want to risk that again...

This place is a ghost town...goodbye everyone!

Lol Preudhomme.. Wiggins win ushers in a new era?
Didn't they say that last year with Evans? Or 3 years before when Sastre won?

 

[Kellys Big Sprocket]

Well done Wiggo. Its a great day to be British.

The Vacansoleil sending a message to Poels! That's sweet!

I just want this **** to finish, so the CQranking gets updated.

looking forward to Greipel to ride one lap in flip-flops
hope he stands beyond his words .

Abdu likes Cavendish best also.

Eurosport open with 10 minutes of cringing embarrassment. Maurice Green trying to interview various riders, some of whom don't recognise him..

What, for real? Maurice Green?

 

[Poursuivant]

I quite like the final Sunday.

Heard rumours it could get ditched next year for a mountain TT!

Yuck.... Versailles. One of the most horrid homes ever built.

Check twitter of some BMC and Sky cyclists.

Yes, true! Pinot had no idea who he was and suggested: a rapper

Sky leading the peloton: Voeckler dropped!

 

[Mellow Velo]

There really isn't much to comment upon, when the first 70kms don't even make the beginners club run category.

Steven Roche doing his best to burst "Happy" Harmon's bubble.

Agree with you, although I just started watching (F1 took my preference).

Regarding mountain TT, I don't believe they would do it for final. Maybe for final Saturday? There was rumours about Chamrousse TT last year but in the end there was just one around Grenoble.

I would say that is unkind, given Harmon normally shows all the characteristics of a manic depressive.

Yeah I would be surprised but you never know with the 100 celebrations.

Wow. Cool tower! What is it?

Gotta be a last-ever Vino attack today, hasn't there?

Would be cool to see Sagan get it. Definitely Cav though.
