Tour De France

[Mellor]

Just caught the end of Froome's mountain time trial. Super ride to win the stage and (providing he stays upright through to Paris on Sunday) seal overall victory in the Tour. 3 TdeF victories is very special. Best stage racer of his generation I guess.

'Providing he stays upright'!

Brave ride by Froome yesterday. Hopefully no lasting damage from his fall. Just needs to stay safe today. If he does Sunday's stage into Paris will be all about the champagne.

Grooming has a fantastic team around him. Stage Race Cycling is like a hive where the worker bees give everything for the success of the Queen. A genuine 'side before self' sport.

Totally agree
Yesterday was fantastic example of the best of teamwork. One team member handing over his bike to keep Froome moving and another guy doing the chasing to allow him to slipstream back into a decent finish. Incredible commitment to the team and your team leader.

Not sure about predictive text though - how does Froome become grooming

I didn't even cop it. Predictive text is always potentially very embarrassing.

Champagne's on ice now. Thoroughly deserved 3rd TdeF victory for Froome barring illness.

Tearing down an alpine descent on 23/25 mm tyres in the pouring rain takes real bottle. Cyclists are top sportsmen IMO. Obviously in no way comparable with bridge/darts players though

Fantastic TdeF for GB - Froome in yellow, Cavendish 4 stage wins, Yates in white for best young rider and an amazing stage win for Steve Cummings.

Congratulations to them all.

Gonna miss it after 3 weeks of amazing action. Roll on Rio.

Even though I have no interest in Cycling in any way, you still got to admire Froome for this win (his 3rd), great effort

I'll echo that Mr R... One of the toughest physical challenges out there, so to win it 3 times is a fantastic achievement. Lets hope the fans now stop throwing body fluids at him and show him the respect he deserves, its no wonder he punched one of them

Lance Armstrong is the only one deserving of a golden shower for so shamelessly bringing the sport into disrepute. 7 years lost in a sport because of one teams crusade.
