Hearing that the last climb has been cancelled due to massive hailstorm and landslide. Looks like Bernal in yellow and Thomas in 2nd

Currently camping in Lake Annecy, heading to Val Thorens tomorrow. Strange decision today to stop the last climb. Only a 500m stretch which they could have got across and resumed the last climb.
Fear Bernal will be given the green light by Brailsford to go for it with Thomas backing him up.

G is strong but one paced It's Bernal's to lose, clearly . The racing he missed earlier in the season is showing in form now. Also, Bernal seems to be stronger because he did not ride the Giro. Right now he looks good enough to win La Vuelta and so leave him in line to win all 3 consecutively.

Irrespective its the best tour for years. Ineos may win it but they have not controlled it. Thatss ood for the sport.

The sport is a joke and if Ineos/Sky win it again, ever more so tainted.

4 in I think, the top 8 of the 2012 Olympic women's 1500m have since been disqualified.

Drug taking exists in many sports, so doesn't really make a particular sport tainted.

Funny how sport & drugs can be viewed.

Swimmers protested the chinese swimmer where there were loud boos
Boxing ,white shows positive but is allowed to fight after a 2nd ban.
American sprinters Gatlin & Gay win medals after numerous drug bans .
Cyclist never gets caught cheating but later admits it & is expunged
from the record books ,
MLB Home run record holder & Highest home run scorer ever is a drug cheat .
MLB has many big Stars Axel ( $ multi million per year contract )
Is another lauded super-star & again another cheat.

Its a funny old game said greavsie.

Today's stage halved due to adverse weather. Two climbs removed.
I'm 2km from the finish at Val-Thorens. Only another 5 hours to wait for them to pass

Great stage today. A Syringe took the win followed by Blood Doping with Ster Oid up in third. Asthma Medication trailed off on the climb with Testos Terone struggling.

Sport at its best.

Someone has to make a stand against all this corruption, especially the overuse of question marks.

Must admit I’m not too bothered about the widespread corruption, but as for the overuse of question marks. Yes, unforgivable........................:.:::
