I can't see Froome loosing it but you never know, Yates and Quintana are both within a minute of him. If Quintana goes at it in the next few mountain stages it could get really close.

Going to resume back to cycling to work this week. Not really looking forward to the sweltering heat.

it has been beautiful to ride, as long as you're not out at midday and take some water you'll be fine :smile:

I've been enjoying the sun

I only have a 2.5mile commute, absolutely savage in this heat. The half mile 12% hill to home is just a sweat fest

According to the weather it's the hottest around 3 or 4. I'm thinking a nice night ride might be on the books.

Anyone ever heard of these guys before? It's apparently meant to be casual cycling clothing https://www.foxwilson.com/clothing sounds a lot better than constantly packing a spare change of clothes. Thoughts?

£30 for a plain t-shirt, makes Rapha look cheap.

There are all good cyclists but the TdF is like watching real madrid play in the championship league. If other teams next year don't tighten their
breath, Sky will just continue to dominate.

My cornering sucked today in a group... Steep, pot hole filled, wet roads and I crashed! Crashed my S works venge :frown:

Thankfully, it's okay (and so am I), but today was just one of my worse rides ever

I think Geraint Thomas would be better off leaving so he can lead a team.

Everyone knows why they're at the TdF in team sky.

would my LBS be likely to lend me a pump to pump up my tires? I'm in the process of moving and the pump has gone already, kept my bike to destress but have got a puncture :frown:

haven't got a hope in hell of getting it to 90-100psi with my hand pump which is all I've got left now... we do have a LBS round the corner but I don't really want to pay to have it pumped for the sake of 4 days!

Borrow implies taking it out of the shop which I doubt but I'm certain they'd just let you use a track pump.

My local Halfords has track pumps outside that are free to use. I would assume it's the same everywhere.
