Just time trials today, so boring.... :P

I will be tuning in from tomorrow where the scenery comes in, and the pre race chef dude's special dish from the area of France they are in.


Nairo Quintana, Alberto Contador the favourites to win the Overall Classification.

Scary crashes just then! Race has been stopped

Lots of people abandoning the race. Race officials stopping the race then starting it again. Idk what is going on its a mess right now.

From what I heard when watching last night, because everyone stopped at the scene of the first crash, there was no footage of the 2nd one.


Chris Froome has taken the overall lead, and Simon Gerrans had to abandon the race. There were a few sore and bleeding riders yesterday :\

List of withdrawals from Stage 3:

Simon Gerrans (AUS - Orica GreenEDGE)
Daryl Impey (RSA - Orica GreenEDGE)
Fabian Cancellara (SUI - Trek Factory Racing)
William Bonnet (FRA - FDJ)
Tom Dumoulin (NED - Team Giant-Alpecin)
Dmitry Kozontchuk (RUS - Team Katusha)

2 Greenedge guys out including their captain not good for Australian cycling. Also sad to see Fabian out just when he was getting back to top form.  :(

Chris Froome has a big lead now and well I'm hoping that Quintana or Van Garderen make some inroads today otherwise things are basically done.

And they showed the finish line earlier and it's pouring down there which will be interesting. H Climb to the finish today :)

Froome has held the lead basically all race but Day 19 and he is finally looking like he might slip up!!

The final question, can Quintana do something incredible on this final climb of the Tour de France, Alp D'Huez!

So many dickheads in the crowd I'm surprised they haven't hit a cyclist yet.
