Sad news about Chris Broadman’s mother. RIP.

While out cycling!

Very sad - she sounded quite a character.

Cav has just pulled the plug on Le Tour, which makes Paris look a bit dull now.

Rio is looming, it makes sense.

Froome is an animal…

How long before Yates is in the Sky team?

Just watched the highlights and was going to say the same. Very good all rounded cyclist! Yes Sky will come sniffing.

Also my tip from the opening post Quintana, well something not right there!

They wanted to sign him and not his brother a few years ago.

Froome is utterly untouchable.

I like the way Froome has done it this year. He has taken time on time trials, time on the climbs, time descending and time in a break away. He has been utterly dominant.

anyone else curious about Quintana’s dip in form?..

I don’t think he’s a doper, I just think he’s weak willed and 2nd rate and always have done.

Yep, I wonder if he struggles with the relentless tempo the Sky team tap out up a mountain, and doesn’t have enough left to make an attack stick.

Quintana is still v young in cycling terms though… will see how he improves i next few years.

He’s been much stronger in previous years - and he looks like he’s 60!

Watching Froome coming home to his 3rd tour victory in a bar in Barcelona!

women’s race was full of action earlier today!

Ahhh…that’s drugs for you. :lou_wink_2:

For the pedants…has Chris Froome won 3 Tours de France, or 3 Tour de Frances?

The best way to dodge it is, Froome has won three Tour de France titles.
