Well that's the end of the tour.  Hopefully it will stand the test of time with all doping stories doing the rounds.   With loads of new guys on the block I can see a few of the old GC guys going stage hunting next year or end up doing the giro or vuelta.  Quiet enough tour for Dan although I have no love for him after he joined ISN.

Seeing strava is giving us our stats for the year what have you all achieved.  After a slow start I managed 2200 miles with a very average 16.2mph.

I guess so as I cant see anywhere saying you cant.  Cold, wet  solo rides this time of year aren't the nicest.

Glad to see Dan Martin out of any GC chances, this way he wont be hunted down if he goes stage hunting.  Tomorrow another sprint stage for Sam so here's hoping.

Any recommendations on a turbo trainer. Have a basic racer bike and would like to keep it going with shorter evenings and possible 2nd wave. Was doing 150km-200km during the Covid. Would greatly appreciate any feedback. Have looked at Halfords site just would like 2nd opinion

I'd spend a few pounds more and get one that is swift compatible as your likely to stick at it better than a standard turbo.

Hopefully this will be make it a more exciting tour as ineos won't have three big GC guys controlling the race.

Anyone doing lap the lough this year ? I see it starts in the Moy 89 miles

What's lap the lough like difficulty wise? Might aim to do it this year

Done it years ago and it wasn't so bad with only hill.   Be careful as loads of noobs doing it

Cheers, the last time I wanted to see a game in august all the pubs showing premiership and I had to watch it on my phone.

Was looking to see the tyrone game tomorrow in the city centre or am I better going to the errigle to be on the safe side of seeing it.

That's it the tour is over, a bad day for Dan with 1.45 down on G

Be interesting to see if G gets to keep it now, poor cav missed the time cut today, that's his recOrd attempt out the window.

Froomedog getting booed today, tomorrow could be fun

Dan going to lose at least two minutes to sky tomorrow, thankfully he didn't lose times unlike the other GC guys yesterday.

No better place than ireland to cycle when the weather is good.   

I enjoy watching it and it never crosses my mine if they are juiced up or not.  Btw i was at the nationals yesterday and seeing only 34 finished it I reckon they had no special TUE.
