The Tour de France starts this Saturday. If you are watching who are your favorite riders to watch? Teams? Who you think is going to take this years Maillot Jaune?

Just dialing in and excited for tomorrow.

Pogecar and Roglic look good. Just found out that Van Aert had appendicitis last month and is not in form. Should be interesting.

Maybe the 1km sign will fall for a third pileup on the stage

Holy wow. I won't soon forget seeing the dad pull his son out of the way of that second crash.

The fan that caused that first crash needs a serious ass kicking. Absolutely ridiculous.

The more I see Alaphilippe race the more I want to see him win the Tour. The guy is gutsy.

Can believe the idiot with the sign though...

Edit: The Tour organizers are looking to sue the sign holder for damages caused.

I highly doubt that guy has a 100k+ sitting around to pay for all the destroyed bikes + injuries.

Geraint Thomas dislocated his shoulder this morning and is still riding

WTH is going on this year?

Yeah, definitely more than 100k worth of bikes were destroyed in that...

I read that the police were looking for the fan. Did she take off and disappear?!

Um, those bike are at least $20k EACH... so yea, just a smidge more than $100k in damage. Granted, many of the components and wheels may be able to be reused, but you get the point.

This is ridiculous. Probably the most crashes I've ever seen in the 1st 3 stages of the Tour.

Apparently the perp fled the country. I'm not entirely sure what the organizers hope to do other than make a example out of them.

I agree though. I really doubt the individual has 100k+ to be able to handle reparations

Really awesome to see Cav win again today!

They caught and arrested that idiot fan, but it sounds like all she'll get is a fine of 1500 Euros, less than $1800 US. The Tour has dropped the idea of a suit, but (at least) one of the riders is still thinking about it.
MooreTrucker

Agreed! Talk about a comeback story!

I'm rooting for Sagan but it looks like this might not be his year.

I know it's a bit of a third rail, but is anyone giving Pogacar the side eye given his dominance? A 22 year old dominating a time trial over TT specialists?

Stage 8 left everyone in the dust?

I've gotten that way ever since Floyd Landis got busted. I think of him whenever someone pulls some major watts out of nowhere. Hard not to be a little jaded.

He did win the Tour last year too. He's young, so it's "from nowhere" because he's new.

Last year might be more inexplicable because there was so much more talent in the field for that last time trial. At least this year you can say everyone else is either off form or dropped out

It was the 30 min effort that closed a 6:30 gap to 20 secs that did it for me. Either he is a generational talent or he's got a little something extra in his system.

Reminded me of the old days with Mark Renshaw.

Today's stage is nuts. Climbing Mount Ventoux twice is crazy. The performance of the GC contenders is wild too. What a day.

Side note: Bob Roll as an announcer drives me insane.

Love Bob. I feel like Phil has been off his game this year calling the action remotely from London. I think he's finally getting used to it but first few stages were kinda rough.

The new guy Adam on the bike didn't sit well with me at first but everything he's said has been nails all week so now I'm trusting him. Him dragging his feet on the pavement at 75mph on today's descent was funny and hair raising.

Big fan of Bobke, but I still miss Paul.

Blythe's input has been really good. He's always got good info.

Sagan is out. Injured in that day 1 crash and reaggravated it yesterday. Still planning for the Olympics.
