Will probably only be me a couple of others talking in here but why the hell not. Good chance we'll see Cav in Yellow after todays stage which will make him the 6th Brit to wear yellow in the Tours history. Coverage starts in half an hour on Eurosport.

Got a E/W bet on Bauke Mollema this year, he wont win it but think he could get 3rd for sure.

Looking like todays stage finish is going to be neutralised because the Orica-GreenEdge team bus hit the finish line gantry and its wedged under now, they're worried if they move the coach the gantry will fall. 10K to go and as of now there wont be any results for the finish.

And just as i write that they announce the finish is 3km from the end now.

The Sojasun bus has managed to wedge itself under the arrival banner at the finish line, with only 8km or so to go. I think it means the race will finish 3km before the end.

Only at the Tour de France.

Fucking hell, massive crash. Cavendish, Greipel and Sagan all down. The bus is off the line. Not sure where Froome is.

I love the Tour.

Froome made it in okay but Geraint Thomas might be out of the race.

If anyone needs proof of just how tough these guys are, Tony Martin may well be out with a broken collarbone but he still rode the final 3km

Should have just neutralized the race once they knew the bus was there and start it again if they got it out on time, or just finish as a group if they didn't.

Last 2 stages have been absolutely brilliant, impossible to predict the winner and yesterdays stage was especially exciting with Bakelandts taking the Yellow Jersey and the win. Tomorrows TTT will more than likely see another Jersey change, could see David Millar or Edvald Boasson Hagen in Yellow, or Kwiatowski from OPQS.

Sky's Geraint Thomas has been riding the last 2 days with a fractured Pelvis as well, puts Football to shame abit

Don't think Boasson Hagen's had the progress one could have hoped for a few years back unfortunately.

He's still a quality rider. Still in with a shot of a stage win at some point.

Enjoying watching cycle way more now since I started myself. Tour so far has been really exciting seeing the highlights for stages 1 and 2. Still can't believe the dog avoided the peloton near the finish of stage 2, his burst of pace to avoid them was amazing otherwise he would have been mince meat. Also can't believe that before 2004 cyclists had a choice if they wanted to wear a helmet or not. Speeds they do are crazy not sure how more riders in the past didn't die when they fell!

How fast does he sprint to the finish line, 70km/h or more do you think?

70km/h is about what he hits on a normal sprint stage yeah, fastest he's gone is about 79km/h though

Champagne room with a fleet of bad bitches > Mont St Michel.

Don't get me wrong, Mont St Michel is lovely and I have fond memories of the place, but come on... bad bitches.

Brilliant stage that, but still nothing massive to worry about really for Froome. Took some extreme circumstances for Contador to get time back and hes shown weakness in the mountains and Froome still has a big lead considering were only in the 2nd week.
