It looks as though this years tour will be just as boring as last years tour. It's looking, curiously I might add, to be utterly dominated by one team. 

Well at least the lads are back at Motspur, so pre-season matches soon.  049:gif

Sky. Once again they had 5 guys on the front, spitting riders off the back up the first major climb in the Pyrenees.

Froome wins. Tour over. Porte second. There is 2/3 of the podium in Paris spoken for.

Nap time......

There's a small tennis match on tomorrow, so I believe...

And not forgetting a somewhat massive cricket test starting on Wednesday.

good point. Should be a good match. After watching the French Open final a few weeks back, tennis can stil be good viewing, especially Wimbledon

Froome was always going to be the main man this year, Team Sky has real strength in depth.
Stand out moments today for me were:-
1. Peter Kennaugh - what a shift he put in, maybe the Phil 'n' Paul show can pronounce his name properly any time soon?
2. The Froome kick 5 clicks from the finish - pulled a face only a mans wife should see the whole way!
3. Contador. Obv not eating that beef any more has affected him.... Cough.

Despite GC being a likely done deal now, we will both watch it every day RR!

How did they pronounce it?

Kenn- ock, Kenn-awe, etc
Every which way apart from how it should be!
Still, Gary Imlach got it right :))

Sky Sports fantasy football is up and running.  I know it's Very early days but tinkering with a team on that ate up a few hours...

I'm quite interested in having a go at our tipping league this year, not sure how to though

Bar injury it does seem like a run race. Did not really care for the TdF anyway.
No forum is complete without a silly Belgian participating!

Well Porte has cracked and Froome has been isolated with no teammates to help. So now it looks like 2nd place is open again. Good stage today so far. Thank goodness for the Moviestar team for trying to make this a race again.
