Tour de France

Pickcock wins the stage and Thomas moves onto the podium for the GC.

That’s a hell of a place to take your first Tour Stage win.

Chapeau Tom!

First Tour of France to and about a year after winning gold in the mountain biking in tokyo

3 Brits in the top 10 both Froome and Thomas

could we have another future british champion

I think that Pidcock surprised himself with this stage win. He's a massive talent, has amazing bike handling skills, on any bike. Put him on a unicycle or a penny-farthing, & he'd be a champion.

2nd place for another Brit in today's stage. 23 year old Fred Wright (now lives in Manchester) rides for Barhain Victorious.

The winner stage 13 Le Bourg D'Oisans to St Etienne was won by Dane Mads Pedersen.

A brilliant ride from Australian Michael Matthews in todays hilly stage (14) from Saint Etienne to Mende.

Stage 15 Rodez to Carcassonne. Sprint finish won by Alpecin's Jasper Philipsen

Today's Stage 16 to Peyragudes, a ski resort high in the Pyrenees, was won by Tadej Pogacar. It had no impact on the GC as yellow jersey of Jonas Vingegaard finished just behind him.

Chris Froome has pulled out of the Tour after he tested positive for co-vid

In yesterday's stage 18 from Lourdes to Hautacam Podgcar failed to break Vingegaard. It was Podgcar who broke as Vingegaard sprinted away from him towards the finish.
