It gets underway tomorrow.
What's people's thoughts? Who's going to challenge the Ineos "Grenadiers"?
I have a wee sneaky feeling about Carapaz. I know he's supposed to be there to support Bernal, but it wouldn't be out of character for Sky/Ineos to change horses mid-race.

Been really enjoying it so far. Definitely have a new favourite rider in Hirschi. Seems to be a definite changing of the guard some unbelievable young riders.

Been superb this year so far and yesterdays summit finish was excellent.
TJV with Roglic, Dumoulin, Martin and Cuss look very strong.
If Bernal and Ineos have any aspersions of winning they really need to start showing a bit more. Long way to go but barring a crash/injury I cannot see past Roglic for the Maillot Jaune in Paris

It looks like Egan is out of it after yesterday’s stage, and it’s a battle between Roglic and Pogacar - both of whom are in the running for the KoM as well. It’s hard to see beyond Roglic given the strength of the Jumbo Visma team.
The green jersey is interesting this year - Sam Bennett has been riding well and Sagan hasn’t looked as strong as in previous years, also losing a number of points after the incident with van Aert. I think that contest could be settled on the final stage.

Carapaz obviously felt the weight of my expectation 🙄

What a ride from Pogacar. Absolutely incredible.
Pretty sure he’s won the yellow, white and polka dot jerseys.

Pogacar and Bernal are both in their early 20s. Looks like they are going to dominate cycling for years to come. Can you imagine what Pogacar would be like with a strong team behind him ? Nothing against UAE but they don’t appear to have a deep squad of riders.

Well, I picked the wrong weekend to go away to a caravan and miss the last three days of Le Tour! I did manage to see the final sprint in Paris, Sam Bennett rounded off his tour in style and showed how much he deserved the green jersey.
I’ve only just caught up with the time trial coverage. What a ride from Pogacar, he was on it from the word go and incredible up the hill at the end. Yellow, polka dot and white jerseys. What an achievement.

It's turning into a not bad year for Ineos after all.😆
Geoghegan-Hart winning the Giro, and Carapaz leading the Vuelta.

First few days have been chaos with all the crashes !

Past few stages have proven that Cavendish has still got it, wonder if Deceuninck–Quick-Step might keep him on for next year and let him have another crack at Merckx's stage win record
Fancy Cavendish for the Maillot Vert now

It's not impossible he could match or break the record this year. Imagine him getting #35 on the Champs Elysées, wearing green.

Well, barring accidents it looks like the tour is over after 8 stages !
Pogacar in a class of his own, amazing ride today. Obviously injury to Roglic didn’t help, but even he would have struggled today I think.

Cavendish again !
What a lead out by his quickstep team
One more to match the most stage win record in history!!!

Cavendish does it again, what an incredible comeback from a guy who wasn't even supposed to be at Le Tour this year and almost quit the sport last year.
