Thomas is 12 seconds faster than Froome (and thus the rest of the field) at the 2nd time check

Didn't expect Roglic to fade like he did, but can't blame him. Finishing on the podium is pretty impressive for Froome, especially considering that 3rd seems to be a "let down" for him.

I’m hoping we can get Vonteux Alp D Huez Tourmalet and velodrome finishes next year but since D’Huez was used this year it won’t happen. That finish in the TT in the stadium last year was incredible

Anybody here has bought the cycling package through NBS Sports?

I've followed the Tour for the past couple of years and keep up with cycling through podcast and r/peloton, just wondering if the package is worth it or not.

Was planning on buying Gold once the Premier League starts up, but don't you have to get a separate cycling one as well through them?

so 1989 was the last year the final stage into Paris was more than just an over-hyped parade

will there be any American contender to win this again anytime soon?

TvG is the highest placed American this year and he's more than an hour behind

damn it... Phinney has to switch bikes and now probably has to slip back into the peloton

ETA: nope... he got back with the leading group

These breakaways in the champs élysées always crack me up. What's the NEED? there's no "what if?" there's no point
