Who's your pick for this year's Tour? No Chris Froome. No Tom Dumoulin. Only one individual time trial of 27km. 3 big days in the mountains before the final stage. I think this is made for MoviStar. I know he isn't team leader but I'd like to see Mikel Landa on top of the podium. Anyway, I hope anyone that watches enjoys the spectacle and the scenery. I hope the best man wins.

That reminds me - when are you gonna come pick up you're bike - it's clogging up my garage :))
Onya Caleb!!!
What a great win by Aussie sprinter Caleb Ewan - his first stage win in his first tour!
And he did it in style out powering Groenewegen (bad luck for the fantasy team Ads!), Viviani and the great Peter Sagan. That's about as strong as it gets.
Off to the mountains tonight. Can Alaphilippe hold onto the yellow? Will Richie hang on and maybe even make up a bit of time?
Should be good!

That can’t be good for your nuts.
Tonight's stage finishes with a long descent - 30k's or something . . . . I'm tipping Valverde, or maybe Nibali . .
If it’s a technical descent Nibali would have to be a chance. Stephen Kruiswijck has also been quiet so maybe he is waiting to strike. Love the mountain stages, hopefully there’s some strong attacking riding from the contenders.
Simon Yates! Didn't really see that coming :)
That's a pretty good couple of days for the Aussies - first Caleb then Aussie team Mitchelton Scott today. Might be an Aussie hat trick after tonights individual time trial :)
Simon Yates riding for Australian team Mitchelton Scott takes stage 12 !
Given Tony Martin is here this year, Richie will need to pull out an almighty effort to win the ITT.
