Tour de France

yeah, i suspect he can expect a fair amount of piss to be thrown his way.

The 1st day of the Tour this afternoon. The organisers have managed arrange the finish before the football starts.

^ Chris Froome fell yet again. He’s lost 61 seconds on the leaders

It looks like top Aussie GC rider Ritchie Porte is out of the Tour after coming off and what is believed to be a broken collar bone.

The 11th stage in the mountains.
It's been a bad day for the leader. But it's been a good day for Sky.

The winner of the stage Gerait Thomas and Chris Froome finished 3rd

Thomas has taken the yellow jersey, and Froome is up to 2nd place in the GC.

The French crowd aren't happy

Geraint Thomas wins stage and takes the yellow jersey. He rocketed up that moutain

Froome just behind and poised well for the remainder of the tour

he is 1:25 behind . Glad they are giving him the chance to shine

a Welshman in Yellow who'd have thought it

Todays stage is going to be defining.
If Sky perform well then I can't see anyone else taking the yellow at the end of the tour.
