    By my reckoning, Sagan is now over 200 points ahead in the Green Jersey competition.

    Bardet is a good descender, might be attacking after Croix de Fer?

    I think I saw him tucked into the main peloton a few places behind the main sky riders.

    This is exceptional sprinter loss, are the time cuts harsher this year or have the mountain stages been faster than usual?

    You gotta hand it to Rob Hatch.

    Every day he finds a word for which everyone has a familiar pronunciation but that he can interpret in a whole new way.

    So apparently now it's Alp-ah d'Huez

    :rolleyes:

    Trying to find a way to listen to commentary at work, cant seem to find anything that isnt geoblocked on phone/phone apps or banned on the work computer.

    Any advice?
