It's really sad for Froome, he's obviously had a pretty good career already but it must be hard not to keep wondering what if.

I'm not nuts about Froome (though I admire his achievements). I do feel for him thougg he must replay that moment endlessly.

I like him. I know he's not very personable but I almost like him for that, as I feel like it's a bit unfair to expect sports people to be characters as well as good at their sport. Although obviously I'm a hypocrite as I also enjoy laughing at how boring Tao is. :look:

Its not like i expect him to juggle and tell jokes, but I just can't warm to him. I think in part its not really his fault, I got a bit tired of watching him, and felt a bit uncomfortable with him/skys dominance, especially when the questionable stuff came out. I've felt much more excited to see them win this year, ironically, in more unlikely/exciting ways with a bigger variety of people.

Yes that's definitely true. The sky years were really impressive but definitely not as good to watch.

Neither did I! I really doubted him but fair play he really smashed the time trial in comparison.

Dan Martin is still looking pretty good too.

I used to love darts but just don't follow it nowadays, but COME ON! Give us our cycling, our daily cycling, how it always is at seven. :skull:

Wow, go Hugh!

They seem to put the highlights on ITV player just after 8pm even though it's not on telly until later so it's not too bad. But still very annoying that it's moved!

I think whoever programmed the upload just have forgotten to change the settings when the time changed!

I've not watched it but I think he's doing the something in Turkey? The BBC sport website has got it.
