Great stuff Moony!
Those cobbles tomorrow are certainly going to test Froomey's wrist. Let's hope he can put up with them - and doesn't take another tumble. |

if bike riding is so popular what happened to the milk race?
|

By:
It's more or less been replaced by The Tour of Britain, BB.
It's been a big success in the last few years. They're missing the Stoke stage this year, unfortunately, but hopefully it'll be on the agenda again next year as it's very popular here. Here's the map of where they'll be cycling this September: http://www.tourofbritain.co.uk/stages/#.U7xB2JRdWSo |

Blimey, third down for Froome and they haven't even reached the cobbles yet.

He looks a goner to me

backed this fella for a tenner for a bit extra interest.
Fabian Cancellara is an obvious candidate to make a move on the cobbles. The three-time Paris-Roubaix winner had another excellent spring campaign in 2014 and he has looked good so far in this race. With so many teams focused on getting their GC leader safely to the finish, Cancellara could put in a dig from far out and remain solo all the way to the line; he certainly seems to be the likeliest candidate for an escape victory. What sets him apart here from the many classics-specialists here is his varied toolset; he is much more than a cobbled specialist, with soloing ability almost unrivaled in the peloton and a decent finishing kick as well, should he come to the line with a group. As this stage is not as long or as difficult as the spring classics, that broad toolset could be pivotal. |

When you take drugs you are inclined to have accidents.

It was a boom boom for Boom.
Very well done to him. What a very interesting stage this has been for the rest of Le Tour. |

They're all coming down like skittles again today.

Liggett getting somebody wrong again tries to excuse himself by saying "He's got a beard like Lopez"!

For anyone that wants to follow what's going on in the stages before ITV4 goes live at 2pm - you can follow the text on Le Tour site here:
http://www.letour.fr/le-tour/2014/us/live/aso/ Why don't they start transmission from the begining when they've taken such big efforts in getting more people interested in cycling? Stage 7 started today at 10:50am. |
|
By:
Itv did their own production in the UK hence pictures from the start.
Once on the continent they take pictures from a host provider as per Eurosport. |
|
By:
I know, Geoff, but Eurosport transmit from the beginning of each stage, don't they?
|
|
By:
Hi Tommy as far as im aware Eurosport dont start Live coverage until 1.30 /2.00 pm just prior to that it is the highlights of previous days race they show.
|
|
By:
Ah, I didn't know that, Geoff. I though they were live from the off.

Brilliant win for OPQ.
Well done Matteo Trentin. Live coverage on ITV4 earlier tomorrow at 1pm. |

Could be a crucial stage today for who eventually wins.
ITV4 - race on live now. |

By:
stage 8, 101 min lead, plenty matched at 1000, leaders being pulled back, could be close

By:
Well done Kadri.

It's on early today on ITV4, as in now. |
