Le Tour 2018

[Jacob Smith]

Love how Sky are ramming it down French fans’ throats. Those people booing Froomey on Alpe d’Huez aren’t cycling fans, just wankers.

Sad to see Nibali crash out too, they need to start barriering the whole route up climbs like this. For a rider’s race to end because of the fans knocking him off is totally wrong, this is the pinnacle of thecycling year.

Pisses me off that. As far as I am aware there has been no Brit "convicted" of doping on the Tour - certainly not in the modern era yet the French boo our guys like Richard Virenque and Christoph Moreau never fucking happened !

Indeed.

They accuse Froome of being doped to the gills but they think Bardet, who has closely matched Froome in the hills, is clean as a whistle. Ok, lads

I know - how odd. The power of the baguette?

Shame how a decent british rider is going to have to bow out of the way so that dodgy broom can have his moonwalk moment again and pretend that he doesnt live in the shadow of wiggins, until he loses at the olympics yet again

Froome now knows how Wiggins felt, when his teammate was better. However, time trial may do for Thomas. They need to lose Domoulin in the Pyrenees, as he's World time trial champion. Not over this. PS Still think Wiggo and that Jiffy bag was dodgy!

If G has a fantastic time trial then he could go on to win. It depends (partly) on the rest of the Sky Team being able to support 2 number 1s.

The French supporters are an utter disgrace, they are not fond of us British at all.

One of the many reason why the "European Community" Is a farce.

 

[Big Swifty]

Yes, let's support Brexit cos French people boo our cyclists.

 

[discopop]

The hatred has been well and truly stoked up by the French Media, the ASO and the new UCI president, nice to see Sky giving it both fingers, the last two stages have been sublime racing and I am very impressed with Tom Dumoulin however have had a chuckle at his team saying that they have found Sky's weakness this despite losing the last two stages
