My favorite part was where he pushed past Macron to get into the trailer while Bardet was meeting with him. "FFS I'm tired, can I just get past." My dream for the rest of the tour is that Dan Martin somehow sneaks onto the podium. Guy deserves it.

WTF.

I need to see this. Only link I can find is this and it doesn't seem to work

[Shanks D Zoro]

Fucking pathetic.

Froome just won the TDF

 

[Charles Brandon]

What did I miss? We haven't got to the Izoard yet.

 

[jakonovski]

Just general Sky induced malaise?

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Just general Sky induced malaise?

pretty much, they are all gonna get to the bottom of the climb together. Nobody is gonna take serious time off Froome. I hope I am wrong, but I doubt it.

 

[Psychotext]

Sigh. Take away their power meters and their radios.

 

[Charles Brandon]

Sigh. Take away their power meters and their radios.

absolutely. Can't blame them for making use of them if they are allowed to.

However, radios were banned not that long ago and everyone whined about safety IIRC. It would be so much better without all that though.

 

[teepo]

the olympic road races were lit without power meters and team radio

 

[jakonovski]

I just literally nodded off.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Go win a stage Astana, could have had the tour.

 

[Joelstinton14]

Come on Atapuma! Fantasy team stage win please!

 

[Charles Brandon]

Why are AG2R doing all the big pulls on the front?

 

[Charles Brandon]

OK that's why.

 

[Joelstinton14]

OK that's why.

Yeah i thought the same, clear they felt they could shake the rest and hope bardet can take Froome in the last few k's

Haha Landa looks ice cool. Yikes.

 

[Charles Brandon]

Landa is poised. Will he strike down his leader?

 

[Joelstinton14]

Reckon both will make a break for it and Froome might give him the win. If there is a big enough gap.

 

[chicken_pasta]

Sky is far too strong. Aru got dropped, and that's it for his tour.

Better luck next season to all of us.

 

[True Savior]

If Thomas was there sky could have filled the top 3

 

[Psychotext]

Lol, Landa looks bored.

 

[Psychotext]

Jesus, that motorbike rider properly shoved that guy over. Lucky he didn't smash his head on that rock.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

The Landa comments always crack me up, the guy decided to get paid rather than show ambition.

Let him work his arse off Froome, as is his job.

 

[Psychotext]

He's making it look easy.

 

[chicken_pasta]

This is madness!

 

[Gandie]

Landa!!!

 

[Charles Brandon]

And Landa goes

 

[jakonovski]

Now go and win the whole Tour Landa.

 

[chicken_pasta]

How strong is Landa on the TT?

 

[Charles Brandon]

Aru is dogged, gotta give him that.

 

[Joelstinton14]

Jesus. Oh it is a descent haha

 

[yagal]

Froome ...

 

[Psychotext]

Fair play to Barguil.

 

[jakonovski]

Well boo Landa wasn't really free, just a little loosening of the leash.

 

[Charles Brandon]

Froome has done it. He had the legs when it counted.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Well boo Landa wasn't really free, just a little loosening of the leash.

As i said, he gets what he is paid for.

 

[Charles Brandon]

Well boo Landa wasn't really free, just a little loosening of the leash.

That was clear, he made a point of making sure his radio was in when he went.

 

[chicken_pasta]

Barguil is super strong. Well deserved victory and maillot a pois.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Aru, not sure what to say that I haven't said already.

That UAExItalia team should be good next year.

 

[jakonovski]

Well that's it for the TdF. Truly a fully owned subsidiary of Team Sky. Today they showed that they were never out of control for even a moment. It was just the parcours that made it difficult to get big time differences in general.

But at least I don't have to waste my time on this shitshow anymore!

 

[Charles Brandon]

welp there you have it.

Bar something crazy happening Froome moves to four tour wins, behind only the all time greats, Hinault, Merckx and Indurain.

 

[Mimosa97]

BOOM Warren! We haven't had a great french climber like him since Richard Virenque. Allez champion !

I really liked this Tour de France tbh. Bardet and Uran did a great a job. I won't talk about Froome I don't want to trigger the fanboys.

 

[Ruruja]

Hooray.

Because you never say anything constructive, just anti-British twaddle as usual.

cry moar plz

 

[Simplet]

I mean, AG2R pretty much gave everything they had, they were just not strong enough. Bardet must have attacked 5 or 6 times between yesterday and today, how can people say that he's not trying?

 

[Charles Brandon]

Aru lost loads

 

[Mimosa97]

Hooray.

When did I ever say anything anti british ? Who fucking cares if Froome is British? What in the flying fuck?

I don't think I've ever said anything anti british in my life. Why are you judging me like this just because I hate Froome? Fuck off already.

British culture is probably the one I identify with the most outside of my own culture. You couldn't be more wrong pal.

 

[chicken_pasta]

A mod should change the title to Tour de Froome tbh

You might not have triggered a Froome famboy, but you have an Aru fanboy.

To congratulate Bardet and Uran while leaving off the only rider who actually took time off Froome is something else. Aru is the only rider who actually tried to make this a race. Sadly, his prep got the better of him.

I am off to go cry now.

Bring on Vincenzo at the Vuelta.

I just stopped at the podium tbh. Aru tried his best but he was too tired. I'm really excited to see what he can achieve in the future. A great rider for sure.

Sorry, I meant anti-British in a sporting sense.

I've always found the Polka dot riders more interesting than GC riders... But Barguil is stealing my heart. A shame he has to go for GC in coming grand tours, but he has my support.
