    Another photo finish today as Peter Sagan grabs the win by less than an inch. Definitely deserving the World Champion title. Cav got boxed in at the run in.
    Amazing ride by Tony Martin.

    downhill descents are nuts today. Light rain. Everyone is crashing. Froome just crashed, damaged his bike and swapped it out with a teammate. 10 KM to go.

    Pictures showing road rash on his back.

    great stuff from cherel and bardet. all the time their manager was hearing about guys going down in every bend, telling his guys to play it safe, play it safe, and they just said to each other "let's do something gutsy, let's go for something big!"

    stage win and GC 2nd.

    Good stage win on a tough section. It'd be 'uge if he made the podium in Paris.

    Congrats are in order for Froomedog again, I suppose. Gotta say, this was a pretty boring Tour.

    It was boring. Once Froome attacked on the downhill.

    Still waiting for Quintena to attack.

    My favorite of Froome's Tour wins. No nuclear Froome this year. Will he do the Vuelta?

    I thought 19 was perhaps the best stage to watch since nibali kamikazed the cobblestones

    Incredible how dominant Sky is. And their biggest rival has lost their #1 domestique.
