Woke up, turned on the tele... seeing the break getting caught by a large group which is beign swallowed by a huge peloton... BORING.

With 4km to go I'm not even bothered to watch the sprint. The only 'challenging' stage of this Tour ends in a bunchsprint. Not wasting my time on this race anymore.

Erm yes apparently. It's just a huge dissapointment to turn on the tele to see Froome working his *** off with 5k to go, while there is a large group at 8 seconds and the bunch at 15 seconds. Couldn't expect him to keep up :)
I failed!

Never underestimate Froome-vroome :D

Bos came out of nowhere to 3rd place. Looks like he just can't take the right wheel and that's probably even so if there was only wheel in front of him. From the vids I've seen, his sprint was the most impressive, but he had to start 5-10s earlier just bridge the gap to the front.

There's a short video on http://nos.nl/artikel/279641-ritzege-haussler-bos-derde.html
That's yesterday's news, and already discussed somewhere upthread.
 
what a peice of cr@p tour this is :(

Well done to Roche ... they need the points.
Well done to Froome for having a go.

Well done to all for riding in the smog - its appalling.

Huge FAIL to the UCI for organising this abomination!!!!!

In places like Chengdu (where the panda's are) it's worse than Beijing IMO.
