Le Tour 2018

[missing person]

Now then, with the world cup dove tailing with the world's greatest cycle race the war office will be getting nothing out of me in the upcoming weeks.

Grand depart from somewhere in western france.

8 flats
5 hills
1 individual time trial
1 group time trial

12 stages in the alps
10 in the Pyrenees

A bloody cobble stage which is on world cup final day but won't clash.

Obvious favourite Chris Froome spinning like a washing machine.

Can anyone beat him?

Coverage on itv Saturday.

Oh and Wimbledon.

Did he get off then?


A fine example of bending drug rules in sport.

He did, should make for a great spectacle now hope it runs smoothly.

I knew he wasn't a cheating Zimbabwean. Top English lad Froome

How many will be caught using drugs and riding electrically assisted bikes?

 

[Jacob Smith]

Come on, Froomey.

The French will go nuts if he wins again.

I can see some shenanigans when Froome is riding slow in the mountains. Some French loonball is bound to try and knock him off his bike.

Funny how a disproportionate amount of pro cyclists suffer terribly from asthma!! Strange that.......

That's the spirit, as for e bikes their rife cancellara on Paris roubaix is a prime example.

I'd suffer from breathing difficulties smashing out 400-700 watts for 5 hours!
