In 2013 Thomas broke his pelvis on stage 1.

Fractured not broken. Reboot needed.

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.

I’ll take what I can get these days

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 Fair play to Froome as well, Wiggins would have spat his dummy out and withdrawn or demanded to be treated as the GC.

Spoken like a true ginger

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.

Sickened. Championing the indigenous Welshman and pouring scorn on the mixed race bloke.

 

I am outraged.

I'd imagine Hamilton's neck muscles are on a par with GT's thighs. 

 

Pampered, rather unlikeable millionaire he may be, but he hits a wall at 200mph and the money means nowt.

 

Yes he has the best car, but he's earned the right to be in the seat. 

 

Still, he's British so let's find the negatives shall we?

Imagine if he was from Bolton

Not forgetting that he has been the best in the world consistently for the last few years.

 

He comes across as a bit of a knob and his sports relief hypocrisy stuck in the craw a bit. But that doesn't mean he can't enjoy his continued success

Well said sir.

Celebrate them all.

Really impressed with Chris Froome

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

Compound leg and elbow fractures by all accounts, and then into ICU 

Waiting for Jules annual post...

Maybe he'll have some sympathy for someone else with a bad leg.

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 

Thomas can expect some real shit from the crowd with a Frenchman up for GC

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?
