So who’s your tip?

I reckon it will be between Roglic and Pogacar but Ineos are stupidly strong. Carapaz, Thomas, Porte and Hart could all feature. It really could be a cracking Tour.

Awesome! It's on my super-want-to-do list. How much fun would it be to ride along the course and then to watch them come screaming by. The Stanley Cup, Superbowl, World Series, it would be so much more fun to go see this.

Anyone going?

Thanks for the heads up

This is my favourite time of year for sports: golf and tennis majors, hockey playoffs, basketball playoffs and to top it off Euro2020

Well you've got the weekend to pull yourself together, put away the Labatt's Blue, dig out a Molson's Canadian and see if this thing is for real or not.

Could be shades of 93 … we shall see. Didn’t cheer for them back then either.

This a hole ruined the race for so many people. Teams. Riders. Commercial partners. This is how one person can ruin it for many.

But think of all the sweet likes he'd have gotten on Instagram if the photo had worked out.

Can you imagine him trying to get out of there afterwards. Similar to the guy who robbed a home run stopping catch from his team in the World Series. I forget the game.

Fans and athletes need a fence/barrier between them.

It was a woman who fled the scene very quickly. The race organisation has already a said they are going to sue her. As yet she has not been found. Moron!

The sign she was holding said, ‘Go, grandpa and grandma‘.

Go figure?

Whoops. I can’t see for shite. Either way a damn fool and part of having a road course that large is the near impossible task of securing the entire thing. Better there than
Isle of Man I suppose.

Wasn't watching it happen but got the notification on my phone with some friends last night. I can only imagine how devastating that was for everyone involved. Screwed so many riders

People suck, but until someone comes up with a way to cordon off 2100 miles of road, that’s just the way it is. This is not the first time; dogs, officials, policeman have all caused crashes
