TdF 2017 chit-chat

[Woz]

Team Sky on strong form; hit early then defend and control formula again?

Chuffed for G.
Nice to see him get a shot of the yellow jumper.

Re:

Hey Woz-long time no talk- Yeah, I'm getting up really early here every day to watch the Tour. As they haven't hit any mountains yet, it's hard to say if Froome is going to be dominant. He is time trailing much better than last month, but a number of riders out climbed him then, also. Stage 9 is going to tell who's who in the GC, I think...

Re:

I suspect a Sky are surprised to be this dominant so early

Rain has made it very interesting!

Anyone else wince yesterday when Ned or David said "...broken knee-cap..."?

I don't like him much, but that was a pretty nasty crash.

"The operation not only consisted on healing his most serious fracture -the kneecap of his left leg-, but also took care of and closed two important wounds at Alejandro's tibia and gluteus. The talus fracture in his left ankle did not require any intervention," the Spanish team explained in a statement.

I feel sick. No wonder he was shaking his head when they tried to help him up.

Re:

Watched the slide leading up to it – ouch! He'll be out for a while.

But it's great to see Saint Geraint enjoying some sunshine out of the shadow of the Gimp.

That was outrageous. Sagan is a monster!

 

[KDM]

Has anyone else noticed that some of those blokes on the Tour De France are cheating ?

They're on motorbikes, that can't be fair.

Only he could get away with that. Top man.
