Whites man Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) In 2013 Thomas broke his pelvis on stage 1. Fractured not broken. Reboot needed. Edited July 29, 2018 by Whites man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I'll give you tennis  But there's nowt soft about cycling 2,000+ miles, and climbing the equivalent of Everest, in 3 weeks.  Statistically, a few of them will be gay though, if that's what you meant? I think he means if you’re in to it you are a bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghana White Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Really chuffed for Thomas seems a genuinely good bloke. Fair play to Froome as well, Wiggins would have spat his dummy out and withdrawn or demanded to be treated as the GC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter White on Tyne Posted July 30, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2018 Interesting comparison watching the news where it interviews a very humble Geraint Thomas winning the TdF having shown incredible levels of human stamina then showing a bloke with diamond earrings who’d just driven a car for a couple of hours spraying champagne around.

Championing the indigenous Welshman and pouring scorn on the mixed race bloke.  I am outraged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLH Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Possibly the wrong place for this, but massive shame about Chris Froome, I get why he polarises opinion and Sky/Ineos pushing the boundaries of whats acceptable in terms of TUE's, but hope the fella recovers from this to have a go at a 5th tour https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/48617835 Compound leg and elbow fractures by all accounts, and then into ICUÂ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 This tour has been fantastic so far, I’ve been glued to it That Cross wind yesterday really pulled them apart Looking forward to the Pyrenees / Alps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted July 17, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted July 17, 2019 Thomas can expect some real shit from the crowd with a Frenchman up for GC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birch-chorley Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Is there a Frenchman up for GC? I’d have thought that Alaphilippe would be, given he has a minute on GT, but apparently not, he is 20/1 to win it! Apparently they don’t think he can keep it up for the three weeks, might struggle in the mountains. Although, didn’t he win king of the mountains last year? Edited July 19, 2019 by birch-chorley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
