Tough on Thomas and Porte.

Hope they are ok.

Mixed news for Froome - a rival gone but his right hand man as well.

Shall we all just ignore Froome and pretend 2nd place wins? That'd make a great last two weeks.

But still, what an incredible day. Pretty much a whole Grand Tour in one stage. AG2R's tactics, cor. Astana and Movistar being utter bastards (again). Froome being an utter bastard back to Aru. Porte, poor sod. The rest, poor sods. FDJ, poor sods. Barguil, poor sod. Uran winning it on a single gear, hero.

Cycling Podcast time.

I'm usually quite keen to defend the appeal of cycling's zen like rhythms and the pleasure of spending a few hours looking at landscape and wotnot whilst nothing in particular happens... but the flag to flag coverage of these endless fucking forgone conclusion sprint stages....... :dry::dry::dry:

Froome got caught out there.

Has Froome ever lost the yellow jersey before? He certainly doesn't look as strong this year as in the past.

Lost it to Martin (T) in 2015, but that was a willing ceding to non GC threat. So yes, but not like this.

If Sky didn't piss about backing wobbly Geraint cos he's British Landa would have got them at least one Grand Tour this year.

Dan Martin is doing well considering he can hardly stand up at the end of a stage due to a back injury.

I see Contador won the Cycling Podcast's Pédaleur de Charme award, which is the first thing he's won in years. Rumours are that Krazy8 had to set up several hundred Twitter accounts for Bertie to get enough votes to top that poll.

Is Froome going to get booed to absolutely fuckery in this stadium?

Seen this photo of Krazy8 meeting his hero?

La Course part II a bit of a farce. Dunno why they feel the need to reinvent the wheel...

Tom Dumoulin choosing to not ride the Vuelta. Gutted. Way to ruin my August.
