LE TOUR EST FINI
|
LE TOUR EST FINI Team Sky on the Champs-Élysées:  Chris Froome, yellow jersey, running up the hill:  Peter Sagan, green jersey:  Rafal Majka, polka dot jersey:  Adam Yates, white jersey, fallen by a collapsed inflatable:  I’m still being bombarded by imaginary mail asking me to update you all on Le Tour de France, which is now over. Chris Froome won the yellow jersey. Romain Bardet, Nairo Qintana and Adam Yates came second, third and fourth respectively. At the start of Le Tour de France, I predicted Chris Froome to win in Paris, followed by Nairo Quintana, Vincenzo Nibali and Romain Bardet. Three out of four isn’t bad! Peter Sagan, road cycling’s superstar, got the green jersey for bring the best sprinter; Rafal Majka got the polka dot jersey for being the best climber, and Adam Yates got the white jersey for the best placed young rider. Though there was just under 12 minutes separating the top ten riders on Le Tour, the race wasn’t close. Chris Froome’s Team Sky dominated the race; they often rode at the front of the peloton at a high pace preventing other teams attacking. Also Team Sky had the best super-domestique assisting its team leader Chris Froome; Wout Poels was immense, especially in the mountains, in protecting his leader. British riders won 7 of the 21 stages of this edition of Le Tour de France. Mark Cavendish, a sprinter, bagged four stages to become second behind the legendary Eddy Merckx in winning the most stages in the history of Le Tour. As usual, there were lots of crashes in Le Tour de France. Adam Yates had an inflatable arch collapse on him as he was riding under it. Julian Alaphilippe, Mister Angry of Le Tour, had a spectacular crash. Pretty-boy Tom Dumoulin broke his wrist; he was the red-hot favourite to win the Olympics road cycling time-trial but he’s very unlikely now to make Rio in two weeks time. Three leading cyclists, Richie Porte, Bouka Mollema and Chris Froome, had a nasty crash as they rode into a motorcycle that had to quickly stop because of a throng of spectators lining the narrow mountainous route. Chris Froome’s bike broke in the crash and, because his support car was a long way off, he started to run up the mountain towards the finish line. Did you watch any of Le Tour de France? I love Le Tour de France and now I’ve got the blues as I have to wait another year for the next edition. And I want to thank you all for indulging me in one of my passions.

I did not watch the tour. I'm a bit curious about the yellow jersey. Doe that have something to do with all the water consumed during the race, and not dismounting for breaks?  Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I only watched the hour-long , weekend shows on NBC but kept track via letour.com Nice to see Cav back in top form. Froome dominance does take the drama out of a 3-week contest. though. He's won three Tours, now, but it could easily have been five (rain crash and carrying Wiggins  ).I saw one interview with Quintana and he seemed genuinely surprised by Froome's aggressiveness. Although some may suggest he's too good (a la Lance), I think CF is clean and the Colombian needs to change up his training, nutrition ... whatever if he's going to bring down the champ. Probably the most boring Tour in recent years, don't you think?

Bonjour Spunky J'ai toujours été un fan du Tour , mais les grandes envolées dans la montagne de la bonne époque sont finis et d'une certaine façon la magie du Tour est fini aussi Je pense que tu serais un bon chroniqueur du Tour de France en tout cas ton résumé est parfait ♥ Poton ♥ Bisou ♥ Annie ♥ Hello spunky I've always been a fan of the Tour, but the great flights in the mountain of the good epoch are finished and somehow the magic of the Tour is finished I think you'd be a good columnist of the Tour de France in any case your summary is perfect ♥ Kiss ♥ Annie ♥

Again...in my City and area....Tour de France was overshadowed by all the terrorist attacks this summer in Europe. None of the news stations covered it at all. “Life is available only in the present moment.” Thich Nhat Hanh Come and read my blog! Become a watcher! veryfunnycple64

That's OK, just let your imaginary auto-reply handle all the messages!!

As I read your post, my first thought was... Hooray... He's through with it now for another year! As I looked over the photos, especially the mishaps, collisions and collapsed inflatable, I was reminded of the opening to Wide World of Sports. Did you have that program in the UK? Here is the opening: Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sports... the thrill of victory... and the agony of defeat... the human drama of athletic competition... This is "ABC's Wide World of Sports!" Did you watch any of Le Tour de France? Do you even have to ask? No your commentary has provided everything I ever wanted to know about the thing and then some. But then you know what they say, don't cha? "la diversité est le sel de la vie" AND vive la difference! And now... Adieu, mon cher ami... Am I getting under your skin as much as the tour de blah blah. I know how hot you seem to find all things French! Is it working? I am trying you know!

A man under a collapsed inflatable would be a very good topic for a blog post in a place like this. I am getting quite the visual! I can't wait until you write it! Would it be from personal experience or... Are you gonna reply with a visual aid? I betcha can't find one. I haven't even looked if there is one.

Shall I continue to comment? I like making an impression you know!

OK, dinner isn't going to cook itself, I must leave you now... tout de suite!

Le Tour de France is only good to see at the end of the stage races where there are screens to follow the whole race! Otherwise, they just whizz by, but it is free for spectators unlike for most other professional sports.

Probably the most boring Tour in recent years, don't you think? You're right in saying that it wasn't the most exciting Tour. It's a shame that other teams didn't attack Sky. The only rider who seemed capable of attacking Froome was Porte but he lost a lot of time because of a puncture so he was never an immediate threat to Froome. Bardet looks good for next year if his team can be reinforced. Quintana was a busted flush! Thanks for stopping by.
