Just short of two minutes, yeah.
The boy can TT alrght.
Sunday's stage looks like hell on toast. That could be a decider.

So do Weds Thurs, Fri and Sat! Dem evelations....
The guy on the right in the green and white (?) striped top looks like he's really yelling at someone over the other side. Wonder if that was anything to do with the incident?

Always find TT stages pretty dull. Caught the last 20 mins so no need to bother with the highlights on itv4!
Yep, very dull to watch unless it's a ttt in the wet. Highlights are not easier not In real time.
Tbh no real surprises for me today. Predicted Dumoulin win, froome to be nearest and mollema to do alright. Porte was a real disappointment his improvement in tt didn't show or he was just too fatigued from yesterday and couldn't hold the watts he thought he could.
Looking forward to Sunday! Gonna be a delayed watch as parents over for lunch.

A look at today's Stage 14:
Soldato
Sounded like Porte and or BMC just didn't plan his ride in any way. Went out the box super hard, not taking into account the course and when the weather would really affect him seemingly.
Soldato
Another win for number 4? Awaiting confirmation.
Edit: It's official he's got win number 4

Amazing, now just four away from drawing with Merckx. I wonder if he'll call it quits now or if he'll aim for another win on the Champs-Elysees - with Rio coming up the smart option might be to pull out now but it would be great to see him winning in Paris again.

He's got to stay and go for it on the champs elysee. Five wins in one tour is too good an opportunity to miss.
Soldato
There's also stage 16 on Monday which happens to be Nelson Mandela day, so there's another chance and added incentive but probably a Sagan type day.

Or an EBH day, depending on how it plays out.

Tomorrow should be a good day , GC could be decided tomorrow.

I said all along he would stay until the end of the tour. He has too much respect for it to ditch it for the Olympics. Plus he'd take winning on the Champs over a gold.
It already has bar a catastrophic crash/collapse.

Saw boardman had to fly back but didn't realise what for. His mother has been killed in a cycling accident. Possibly hit and run reading between the lines. Sad to hear.
Today as expected wasn't much in gc due to the week to come. I love seeing the laces tho. Alaphillipe proper unlucky. Great ride from him. Hopefully another cav win tomorrow!
