Tour de France 2024

Any cycling fans out there?

Really exciting first stage finish for the first day. I was very pleased to see Bardet take the win and add a yellow jersey to his palmarès. Well deserved, especially as the first thing he did, before celebrating himself, he thanked his young team mate van den Broeck who had worked so hard.

Indeed, it's been very exciting so far. I missed yesterday's stage an only saw the highlights. Pogacar and Vingegaard both look very strong.

Yes! I watched the Netflix highlight show and am now hooked!

I’m actually in tears at Marks win!!!!

Bugger! I was so busy I forgot to tune in!

That stage win was incredible! Apparently it wasn't the one Cav thought he had the best chance in either - that is today!

We started watching the TDF in 2007 so just about when Cav began to make a name for himself. We were hooked then and have followed cycling ever since.

Yesterdays win was really emotional, he's had such a tough few years and had that horrible robbery. I never doubted he could do it, but it's still great that he has.

How far in advance is the TdF route released? I'd love to be on the sidelines watching them go past.

It's great fun, we have stood by the road and have been to a city start.

The route is announced months in advance, but it doesn't go everywhere in France. This year's route is available

Thank you 😊

@Escape Road That victory on stage was amazing! It turns out that Cav didn't believe he had the best chance in that one either—that is, today!
