Tour de France 2019

Ineos has not yet decided who is #1 and who is #2, by the look of it.

Or maybe they have and the G doesn’t give a rat’s arse.

So, who’s going to get the climber’s jersey? Will Wellens hang on?

:popcorn:

Summary

T. Pinot having some sort of muscle/knee problem on the climb. Losing lots of time.
All of France now must be cheering on JA.
Update: just retired from the race.

Incredible.

Bernal crushing everybody right now.

They’re so high there’s snow.

hailstones covering the race course ahead, tv showing.
wow

update: stage cancelled. times counted at top of mountain. bad for JA

Was it hailstones? I had the volume off the TV.

Weird as.

yes, all covered.
Bernal takes yellow jersey

Jesus, no one saw that coming. Poor Alaphilippe.

This is certainly a Tour to remember, if for no other reason than all the drama!

Good summary of yesterday’s situation here;

Alaphilippe is very likely to drop out of the top 3 tonight. Perhaps he can stay in the top 6 which would be an achievement.

Nibali just makes the climb with 100-200m to spare.
Wish I were in Columbia right now.
The partying that must be going on as EB goes into Sunday’s lazy ride with yellow on his back.
Too bad for JA, but as one commentor said, he’s got enough stuffed :lion: to last his children’s children’s children.

JA predictably loses his podium spot but stays in the top 5. Not bad considering how hard the 2 last stages must have been for him.

total respect for Ala. good job.

for Ineos: WTF is up with their 7 number on the sleeve? little fucking details like that confirm them as wankers.

well, the team director certainly is.

Congratulations to Caleb Ewan!

3 stage wins is impressive.

Hats off to Dimension Data for not selecting Cav (who tbf has zero form), really paid off for their big push on GC.

This has been one helluva tour.

However, nothing as exciting as when this happened…
