Tour De France

[white.riot]

When it comes to drugs nothing in that sport will surprise me, Froome has been at the top some years now, and would of won last years tour if he could. So hopefully hes clean

Time trials probably still gave Wiggins the edge. We'll never know. Froome certainly the better climber.

Another magnificent performance from Froome yesterday. Isolated as the Sky team fell apart but rode through the Pyrenees like a mountain lion. Rest day today, time trial Tuesday, another critical moment.

[HarryofOz]

An incredible ride by Froome considering his lack of team support. He won't want it too happen again though. I was very surprised at the way his team-mates cracked so early on the day and so early in the race.

[white.riot]

Sky's collapse was worrying for sure. Moviestar should have capitalised more I think.

[HarryofOz]

They definitely should have capitalised, that is something they may come to regret.

[white.riot]

Should have said well done to Dan Martin. First Irish fella to win a stage since his uncle, the great Stephen Roche. All in all a cracking days racing.

Steady day yesterday although Cavendish managed to do enough damage to have urine thrown over him from the crowd today.

Froome magnificent again today extending his lead to 3.25 minutes or so. If he manages to win the tour his achievement will, arguably, be superior to Wiggins. Sky were an awesome force last year. Froome can't count on the same level of support given to Wiggins. The Alps will decide.

The form that Froome is showing now i cant see him giving that lead away tbh. And he was impressive today as well. And im going to stick with my view that he would of smashed wiggins last tour if he had the gotten the chance. Hes on a different level that what Wiggins was

Enjoyable sprinter's stage today. Cavendish well beaten. He was ill before the tour apparently so he may have a reason but for now at least he is second best to Kittel. A long time since Cavendish wasn't the fastest man on the block.

Another sprint tomorrow gives Cavendish a chance to step up to the plate - assuming he avoids the inevitable crash.

Us noggies lost our best man today, he broke something in hes shoulder in the crash just before the finish...tis a shame, hopefully he'll come back next year as captain of hes own team. way to good to be a helper for Froome.

Another rough day in the peloton. Shame about Edvald BH. Does he definitely have a break, Brailsford wasn't sure earlier today?

Aye hes definitely out of this years tour, not an ideal situation for Froome as well. He just lost one of hes best helpers

A big ask for Froome and more interesting than 2012 as a result.

[white.riot]

What a stage that was. Cavendish over the moon. Froome losing time. Other than the Yorks coast the Tour really is the best free show on earth. Can't wait for 2014.

[HarryofOz]

Great ride by Froome and Team Sky in general. Qintana looks one for the future.

[MeeTa]

Froome beats Armstrongs best up that last mountain by 1 minute. And Armstrong was on drugs...

If it turns out that Froome is on drugs, then I won't be watching the race again.

Being tested tonight I hear.

[Dr.Leeds]

Being tested tonight I hear.

I'm sure each rider is tested several times through the tour.

I do hope Froome is clean. The entire sport of cycling is worthless if not.
