The Times had quite a witty headline for their TdeF preview article.

Will Froome take the Fifth?

Go Froomey, do it for Bernard...

O noes! I have just looked at the internets and discovered that Jarlin J Jarlinsson, teh Colombian Viking, is not riding this year

There goes at least 18% of P@nd3m1c Pr0duckt10nz material.

Which hasn't stopped some bellend on an online bookie site advising the punters to back him for KotM

No Reichenbach either, chiz.

What about Winner Anaconda?

We do still have Jhon Darwin Atapuma Hurtado though.

And Julian Alaphilippe.

RAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Other fun names on that list are Rigoberto Urán Urán Urán and Gallopin’ Tony, not to mention Dylan Groaningwagon and Tom Doom himself.

These eight-men teams still look so small to my eye!

And he still looks like he’s never ridden a bike before.

He might at least have shaved his legs.

Heaping misery upon misery, the fussy elephant is back too. Make my misery complete, ITV4, why don't you, and re-run the Money Supermarket ad as well

I find myself supporting Froome for the first time. He's been so stitched up in the salbutamol saga. It takes strength of character to put up with it.

~~They heard you~~ D'oh, I'm thinking of the wrong irritating ad (there's just so many)

That was an eventful last 10

Fortunately missed it. Caught up with the recording in the first set of shitverts after the finish.

Well I didn't expect all the GC riders to be finding such creative ways to fall off or break things...

Watching Dutch Eurosport, sound off, with the BBC 5 live commentry, there was a lag of about 300m... which made things surreal...

That's an interesting take on it.

He got off. Other riders haven't.

Came in just in time to miss the final sprint. Drat.

Try watching it on your phone, sans commentary, in a pub garden with the sodding sportsball on*.

It was suitably eventful though. Where was Cav? Froome and Quintana. First debut stage winner in 14 years.

*Just so you know, it's really not coming home.
