Sagan/Cav crash. For the GC... nothing. Absolutely nothing worth mentioning.

If the sponsors dictate are going to dictate the outcome of a race then it's not a race it's just a commercial venture.

Huh, TdF 2017 is to Froome, what TdF 2003 was to Armstrong. It has been an exciting race
GC Highlights
- Prologue crashes
- Aru's attack on Planches de Belles Filles
- Porte's crash on the Chat
- Froome cracking on the airfield in the Pyrenees
- Ag2r's team attacks and Froome's recovery from Mechanical
- A few great days of racing in the Alps, Izoard finish
It has been a good Tour and much better than the borefests of 2012-2016

- Froome cracked and then finished at the same time as everyone else.. not memorable at all
Still pretty eyeroll-worthy to me for Froome to be a touch below invincible here when he was a complete dud at Dauphine a week before the Tour started

Aru stalked Froome then moved into yellow a week after his win on PdBF.- Froome cracked and then finished at the same time as everyone else.. not memorable at all
According to many people here it's boring when Froome rides away from everyone... now it's boring when he can't?
