Okay. Bizarre but appropriate.

At least Tinkoff didn't make the squad wear that neon pink hair look.

Is that Sagan?

Froome in yellow. Cancellara still on the last climb.

ETA: Tony Martin is now just one second out of yellow. There are cobblestones tomorrow. Didn't Froome break two wrists on cobblestones last year?

uh-oh

No biggie. If three doping positives last year didn't matter I don't imagine this will either.

They are already on probation but the conditions of it are rather vague. I'm not sure exactly what it would take for them (or any other team) to lose their license. http://www1.skysports.com/cycling/news/21683/9838267/astana-escaped-losing-licence-as-punishment-disproportionate

223.5 km and 7 sections of cobblestones -- but I wasn't able to find the distance covered on cobblestones.

ctjim · « **Reply #52 on:** July 07, 2015, 09:47:52 AM »

Found this.
doesn't show sector 7, since the riders have already passed it.

Sector 6: Artres, 1.2km (starts at 175km/49km from the finish)
Sector 5: Quérénaing, 1.6km (starts at 180.5km/43.5km from the finish)
Sector 4: Verchain-Maugré, 1.2km (starts at 185.5km/38.5km from the finish)
Sector 3: St Python, 1.5km (starts at 195.5km/28.5km from the finish)
Sector 2: Quiévy, 3.7km (starts at 198km/26km from the finish)
Sector 1: Carnières, 2.3km (starts at 208.5km/15.5km from the finish)

...and rain is headed their way. Possibly just in time for the cobbles.

*blink* They just showed a commercial for a shampoo with caffeine in it.

Alpecin -- a shampoo with German engineering. Sponsor of the Giant team.

Dan Martin and Jack Bauer down. Why wait for the cobbles?

So, I'm a complete dork. DH and I are probably going to be in London for 3 weeks next June. I just looked up where le tour is headed in 2016...and booked a room in Cherbourg for June 30 to July 4. No payment due now and I can cancel up until next June. Very likely we won't be able to do this...but I figure that by the time we figure out if we can swing it, everything will be booked. And, besides, it'll be fun to think about if nothing else!

I think no one has responded to this because we're too envious for words. I hope it works out and you get to go.

Martin was in a tough spot.
There's no way he beats Cancellara in a sprint.
Also, his job yesterday was to help Cav with the stage, so he couldn't go on a solo attack from, say, 5k out or something.

Sounds to me like drama for the sake of drama.

oh, and this.
The Badger wouldn't whine about it, he'd just to out the next day and kick some butt !
