  1. Do you think Alaphilippe can survive the Alps? What do you think of Geraint Thomas's chances now? Will Pinot be able to take back more time?

  2. Most interesting Tour in the last… 20 years? 30? In large part due to NOT having a superteam dominate it all. Alaphilippe just got wings from wearing the Maillot Jaune and being French on top of it. Most exciting time trial I've ever watched.

    No idea who's going to win it but at least Friday and Saturday should be full of dangerous attacks. Impossible to predict a winner

  3. Wout's crash was a major disappointement, would have really liked to have seen what he could have done the rest of the tour. Despite that, this tour was really exciting so far, and i think this last week will be even better. Hopefully Steven Kruiswijk can be in Yellow in Paris. Although i'd be ok with Alaphillipe or Pinot winning the tour for France

  4. The 1-day La Course is an insult to Women Pro cyclists. The Giro Rosa has what it takes to become the iconic Grand Tour the Women's peloton deserves. Just extend it to 15 or 16 days, including 2 rest days. Images of the Week – Sagan's wheelie on a TT bike (without crashing), and Vos moped-like acceleration on the last climb (without a motor).

  5. I feel like 2017 will go down as one of the most underrated Tours of all-time. It was very close, and very good.

  6. Where do people think Froome would be in GC if he had not had his Dauphine crash?

    I think he would be P2, but very, very close to Alaphillippe.

  7. Summary: Alaphilippe “surprisingly” on good form whilst Thomas “surprisingly” on bad form, other teams have “somehow” upped their game and oh, before we forget, that Geraint guy is quite polite.
