Tour de France 2019

Any cycling fans? This is my first year watching and I am loving it. I am following on Twitter and a bunch of Australian follow the #couchpeloton hashtag and post pics of their late night snacks and talk about the race and all the Vaches en route. The scenery is fantastic.

Great to see him on the podium after his move to Trek!!!

A new man in yellow: Giulio Ciccone [www.dw.com]

The Tour de France has a new leader after Italian rider Giulio Ciccone claimed the yellow jersey on an iconic mountain stage. The Tour rookie moved clear of Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe by just a few seconds on Thursday.

A rookie who hadn't even planned to compete on the Tour de France, Ciccone cemented his up-and-comer status in the cycling world at the end of the leg-breaking climb of the Planche des Belles Filles.

Of course he's a German.

Why do the cyclists go on stationary bikes when they are finished?

Amazing! And I can almost see the outline of his cock here!

PAU, France — Inspired by his yellow jersey, Julian Alaphilippe held off defending champion Geraint Thomas to win the only individual time trial stage of this Tour de France on Friday, a shock victory to raise French hopes that he could go all the way in yellow to Paris next week.

Cheered on by boisterous crowds hammering on roadside barriers, Alaphilippe sprang a surprise in his margin of victory on the tricky, hilly, turn-filled loop south of Pau, with spectacular views of the Pyrenees.

Having previously predicted that he’d lose time to Thomas, an expert in the race against the clock, Alaphilippe stunned even himself by emphatically relegating the Welshman into second place, 14 seconds slower.

“It’s incredible,” Alaphilippe said, adding that his performance reduced members of his team to tears.

Its amazing the new heights that blood-doping has achieved!

I follow it intermittently. More so when I used to bike myself. I have mutual friends with Alberto Contador - sexy guy - but hetero and married!

Oooh I had the hottest dream about Contador one year

Julian Alaphilippe is fantastic. I dearly hope he's not blood doping. He's too fun to watch.

I’ve been watching on and off since the Andy Schleck days but dipped out in the boring Chris Froome era. I really hated how Team sky raced, so i’ll be SO happy if someone new like Alaphilippe wins this year. Last night’s battle in the mountains was amazing.

I get pissed off at Sagan. He's always in the pack letting others so the work and sneaking through.

He even looks like a cunt.

Still a cunt, but this is admittedly impressive!

Yeah, Sagan is hugely talented but a dick. He thinks he’s a character but some of his behaviour borders on offensive and childish (e.g. the harassment of the podium girl).

This has been the best tour in years.
