Tour De France 2019: That’s My Jaune

With their French crew of riders they'll pick up enough wild cards for French tours and classics (TdF, Dauphine, Paris-Nice etc). And with Quintana on board they'll probably get even more chances to pick up more points.

Quoi qu'il arrive, ça restera ma plus belle collection. Bon week-end à tous !@LeTour

HE'S READY

How did Nairo get strawberry jam down his jersey yesterday?

He spilled some from a gel sachet (looked like blood but wasn't).

nose bleed from being at the front of the race?

This is mental.

Yes!

Pinot stung by something?

Pinot :(

Knee injury two days ago which got worse last night, apparently.

When you see the press bikes circling like that....

Oh really? So sad. xp

Close-up shots of his emotional face. Poor guy.

Commentary said he banged his knee two days ago and was suffering with it yesterday.

This is brutal to watch ;_;

He's crying on his bike... :(

Gah </3

jesus

so sad

when he put his arm round his teammate.... caught in my throat

Heartbreaking

Pete Kennaugh is not taking this very well.

😢 It’s over for Thibaut Pinot who suffers too much. Extremely sad.

😢 C’est fini pour @ThibautPinot qui souffre trop pour continuer. Un moment très difficile pour lui et son équipe.#TDF2019 pic.twitter.com/qr7Bab0iPk

Heart breaking :'(

pinot out alaphilippe gonna lose the maillot jaune it looks like, shit day for the french

oof pinot :(

boring old Ineos win after all.

poor Pinot, it seemed more likely he'd win than Ala.

Fantastic stage so far. Flip cracked but isn't rip.

If Kruiswijk misses out on the podium by 2 secs it's because he forgot to cross the line as second on the L'Iseran ;_;

Hail and rain ahead!

holy shit there's hail

Flip is going to catch up w/ Thomas and Kruiswijk isn't he o_O

They're plowing snow 😅

* stage neutralized *

Race neutralised with the gaps at the top of the iseran!

they're canceling the stage!!!!

Well.

so flip loses the tour just like that

RIP Tour

would never have happened in 1920

!!!!!!!

xp or in the Giro where Kruiswijk crashed into s wall of snow...

WTH

should have taken times at bottom of tigne- gone for full french conspiracy narrative

if the road is unridable, one can walk through the snow, I'd say :P

this will most definetely save Ala's podium (and thus Kruiswijk and Buchmann were robbed)

this feels very 2019.

daaamn that rainbow jacket for piti, it is proper.

You can’t have a bike race if everyon isn’t clear on where the bike race ends.

global warming kills bike event.

Havoc at @LeTour. Landslide on the course is causing traffic to turn around. #TDF2019 pic.twitter.com/nKeoXxHIPt

why not just annul the entire stage

^this

Shots with the bulldozer !

i'm furious

Why?

Calling it off was the right thing to do, no? Shortening a stage/ending early isn't exactly a novelty in cycling iirc.

def call it off, but as cosmo noted above, a race with a secret finish line isn't much of a race. neutralize the whole stage imo
