Anyone able to recommend a good bike rack? Its for 2 possibly 3 bikes, my mountain bike and the kids bikes. Id want something that is pretty handy to use, and take on and off. Cheers

If you have a tow bar these are pretty good.

Some stage today. Quintana excellent, an improvement from Bardet and the fightback on the descent from Alaphilippe. Great viewing!

Betting on Skybet now -
Bernal 11/8
Thomas, Pinot & Allaphillipe all 3/1

If he survives tomorrow Allaphillipe will almost certainly get a doing on Saturday's summit finish, he can only win if the other favourites f**k it up imo. Pinot not super looking today.

Well f**k that, Pinot looks like he's about to climb off, knee injury apparently.

After all the excitement & freshness of a great Tour it's probably going to end up an INEOS 1-2

Why are people rubbishing Alaphilippe's chances? Did he not win the KOM last year?

They think his lead can be overturned on a long enough sustained hard climb, plus the attritional effect of a 3 week stage race on someone who was not targeting the overall GC.

Why are Bernal and Thomas not in the same tops?

This seems to be the race now

bennydorano · July 26, 2019, 03:30:53 PM

Bernal is in best Young rider top

Looking like curtains for Allaphillipe now, but u never know.

quit yo jibbajabba · July 26, 2019, 03:33:44 PM

Ah cheers

Jees its tight at the top just now!! This is the shit ive been waiting for lol

oakleaflad · July 26, 2019, 03:50:16 PM

Stage stopped by hail. Bernal will be in yellow.

Such an anti climax was shapin up nicely. All on tomorro now!

grounded · July 26, 2019, 07:27:00 PM

Well this tour has seen everything now! Best i can remember.

Gutted at how it's ending, tomorrow is now 59km.

Dougal Maguire · July 26, 2019, 10:33:35 PM

One climb less and finished on a descent. Will that suit Alaphilippe

bennydorano · July 26, 2019, 11:09:57 PM

Disappointing but the Stage could be anything now, potential for mayhem, but then again INEOS will likely try and set such a punishing pace that it makes a breakaway win less likely.
