Sagan as well, but that was later in the same tour.
After asking who the family was Tom met them after his Andora stage win in the team hotel and gave them a signed jersey as thank you.
Article about it in Dutch, but Tom's tweets are in English: https://www.metronieuws.nl/xl/sport/201 ... -in-camper

Sagan did it in a ditch during Paris-Roubaix.

Offredo I think in a camper during the Tour (or was is Pinot?)

When I was watching it live I was wondering if Quintana had the balls to got to the front and try and calm it down a bit. It wouldn't have surprised me if some ignored him though.

I think TD has learnt a very valuable lesson that's going to stand him in good stead in future grand tours!

The old Matty Goss (or was it Robbie McEwen) 'grab a cap'.


Big Jan is a fan of the cotton cap as well!

Times on the Umbrail descent, TD saved his pink jersey there.

Would be nice if they added a grupetto rider for comparison.

He said he got cramp on the descent and wasn't able to go as fast as he'd wanted!

Things worth noting:

1. New jerseys for Veranda's Willems-Crelan.
2. Missing Jawbreaker lens clip.
3. Woutje has a weakend immune system.

I don't think the jawbreaker lens clip is missing.... i think you're just seeing a reflection of his skin in the chrome on the lens clip. If you look at the second pic, its there and its chrome.

Quintana just lost his balance tossing a bottle away. Ended up "resting" against a wall.

Would've been interesting to see what Sunweb would've done if he had fallen.

I suspect there's a nathanong gif incoming :D

Pierre Rolland!

The lifting of the bike and guttural roar in the media scrum was telling. Good on him for making it stick today.

After no WT wins in two years, they have two in one week.
