Overall. He’s made no transfers so far. Only has the basic 8.
Wow!
That’s impressive and has ran against what the bookies and commentators have been saying
What’s happened to JA?
TdF website showing Yates in yellow?
Wierd!!!
Maybe they have updated tomorrows result early
Actually JA isn’t even on the list.

Yeah down in 16th now.
Yep, seeing it all over twitter. Took a bottle at 17k from a different team soigneur
He really didn’t want yellow then!
NOoooo
I’m looking ahead…
…Saturday and Sundays stages look promising, then Mondays rest day will be welcome, I’m knackered
Then just look at Tuesdays stage.
Please. Look at it.
Remember Armstrong and Contador.
Pray for that.
Otherwise, it’s a Sunday club run…
…to me, stages 10 and 11 look like sprint stages.
12 and 13 one for the punchuers and/or a breakaway.
Stage 14 just looks odd - massive initial climb, then smaller and another smaller one before another downhill finish with a couple of lumps.
Yawn.
So week 2 is just the appetiser to the Grand Colombier. Great.
Stages 16,17 and 18 look mint!
Then 19 gives the GC a chance to rest their legs before the Stage 20 TT…
…proper looking forwards to that, as it’s very similar to my favourite local “climbs” Of Long Hill, Cat and Fiddle, Road to Skye (anything 6-10km at 6-8% I’m all over, love them!)
So if Yates is now in yellow, will he be allowed to disappear chasing the stage tomorrow? Surely, despite his (and his teams) continued protestations to not be chasing long term yellow, the big GC teams can’t afford to let him go. Another missed opp for a stage win at the tour? A master stroke by Alaphillipe to win tomorrow’s stage?
Bloody local news football segment…casualty dropped in “Bury Boy” Adam Yates is now in the yellow jersey.
Cheers for that.
Twats.
No spoiler warning at all.
Tomorrow will be a “breakaway”
Pogacar and a few other will mop up the points.
Cosnefroy won’t be allowed any scraps.
Random person will win.
Valverde?
Roche?
Landa?
Well well I never thought we’d see Yates in yellow, however its happened.
Hes said that he will be gunning for the win tomorrow as was his plan before the penalty.
And then he gets a significant mechanical!
Sorry @gingerbongo!
I think @TriCurious and I have one different rider
i bloody looked at Lutsenko the other day, and VA. Didn’t go with either obvs.
i’m shite at this!
Haha I just checked and we have 3 different riders
Roche was class today
Other than that, the stage was DULLaf
I really thought that final climb would ignite things a bit more. They all seem either wary or given that it’s early and they’re still fresh whoever is at the front is setting the pace too high
