Looks to be a brutal three weeks this year. Tremendous finish to today’s stage MVP and Pogacar going head to head.

Can probably be merged with existing cycling thread?

We usually have a separate thread for Le Tour.

Fair enough.

Many riders were unhappy that they increased the number of riders in the Tour and they predicted more accidents.

My favourite this year is 'Team Picnic'

Those are the stages most prone to accidents, but yesterday's last 40-50 km were full of all sorts of bumps!

Pogacar wins on an absolutely horrendous last kilometre or two. A superb ride by British lad Onley finished 4th behind exalted company

Credit to Jonas for staying on Pog’s wheel after that burst of acceleration.
Onley looks a real prospect.

Remember reading about the Storming of Dudley Castle,July 14 1789.And then things got nasty when
some posh lady said if they can't afford faggots and peas,let them eat pork scratchings.
Liked the stage where the sign for Chateauroux was changed to Cavendish City.

Another young cyclist dies. Not at TDF obviously!
