Yeah, good read. Skinny for the win.

Looks fun.

I can imagine it. There is more of a brand connection in general to the things I've seen so far in regards to TCR. It certainly appears more slick than TABR (for good or bad).

Been following #TCRno5 on Instagram and scrolling down to 'most recent', if you like images. Seems like most riders use the tag in their posts.

+1 to this. It's nice just to see variety also. Those using old Carradice bags to the new fangled Apidura set ups, the older bikes and the sponsored-up almost pro-level riders, the 'pairs' category. It is my first time keeping an eye on this race, but it seems the social media aspect and the varied routes might make it more of a spectator sport than TABR which, I am noticing already, has a more relaxed air than TCR.

You going for that green monster drink mix in the bladder again hippy? Or a new cocktail? :)

Looks like he's in Berea. He has got some hard miles to come over the hills. Trackleaders projects him to finish in 64 days, so about another 11 to go. If he slows then the Hippy / Jeff race you mentioned will be one to watch!

What a cool blog. Interesting to see the development over the years.

More set ups have rolled in.

Some of the criticism is a bit harsh and it is good to see you persevere and work to get a cycling brand up and running in this thread. Just a thought that maybe people would respond here to seeing behind what you do a little, seeing mistakes and imperfections a bit more and perhaps being asked to engage in what they thought about the products you were creating and launching etc. Being a bit more collaborative than super cool 'brand' focussed. You might get some really good input to give you an idea of what works and doesn't. Ok, I've criticised myself there, but with the intention of helping anyway.

I am amazed that hippy is doing TCR after TABR. Truly impressive stuff. Has it even been done before?

He did sit out the TdF though I noticed.

Shame to see Quintana 15.28 back in the end, guess he just didn't have the legs?

Looks a nice set up. What's in the bottle / can under the downtube?

Looks like Doug finished overnight. Just Jeff left.

Third question in Froome's post-win interview being about "winning a fifth tour". People just expect him to win now.

I wonder what might have been if Aru's break when Froome had a mechanical had somehow worked and stuck. Maybe it would have encouraged the others to challenge harder too and opened up the battle.

Congratulations to Froome, he's risen to all that was asked of him. Not his fault he rides in an incredibly dominant team. Tons of riders with little cameos over the last few weeks though, it has been an enjoyable watch overall.

I'll take the Gore windstopper gloves if you will post.

That looks pretty compact up there, will be interesting to see.

Nice article on photographing the TCR by Camille McMillan.

Disappointing that no-one could gap Froome today, but I suppose he/Sky have just been that good.

Crap 'Buzzwords' thread?

Guess this stage gets interesting if Froome is isolated early somehow or AG2R pull another surprise. Surely only gaining a few seconds on Froome isn't enough at this point, it has to be all or nothing?

Not sure 'epic' (on the GC angle anyway. I think there has been much more entertaining stages of this tour) it had a feeling there was some holding back for tomorrow and not an all out scrap... yet.

Landa is a buzz-kill supreme. Aru now struggling, feel a bit sorry for him. Did he peak too early?
