I'll be dipping in and out of this thread, as I usually want to watch every minute which means I'll fall days behind, but I'll try and keep up.
This morning is Christmas morning in my house.
Love the Tour de France, this one is packed with talent, the coverage will be brilliant with the superb Eurosport team, and, and, and...it starts in Italy.
I may explode with happiness.

"The opposite of love, after all, is not hate, but indifference."
It is without a shadow of doubt, the single most boring sports event I've ever attended. You can wait ages and then...whoosh, they're gone! To be fair, it's only when you see them whoosh past you do you truly appreciate the speed of the fockers!!
And, yet, it's strangely compelling, albeit that it's really a sport to watch on the TV.

I hear ya Brian, I used to be a tour de france addict, watched every minute, but these days I seem to be only interested in the time trials and mountain stages, and of course the final finish in Paris, which takes place in Nice this year. Between this the Euros and then the Olympics my Mrs. Is constantly rolling her eyes at me. What a summer of sports! Oh la vache ! As (some) of our French brethren (occasionally) say.

Great to see van de Broek and Bardet hang on for the win. That was some ride. Cav was in pieces, they reckon stomach and not heatstroke. 37 degrees and all that climbing couldn’t have been fun though, fingers crossed he can be nursed through to the flat.

Pog and Pog for me, too. Cracking rider. Love Roglic as well, but not sure if he has the highest quality anymore.
Can't warm to VGG.
Nor me. JV is an incredible talent but comes across as a bit dull, very Chris Froome. Obviously he and Visma destroyed Pog last year but he was coming back from an injury. UAE are better this time and Poggy has stayed fit, plus it’s JV who is coming back from an injury. It will be fascinating to see it play out, especially with a TT on the last day.
