That’s stage 18 of the Tour de France over with the win going to Christophe Riblon of team AG2R LA MONDIALE. Chris Froome came 7th in the stage but increased his overall lead to 5 minutes 15 seconds; it looks like the only thing that can stop Froome would be a serious crash or damage to his bike! #TDF #TourDeFrance #VaVaFroome #cycling

So here it is stage 18! For the first time in the tours history this one course will climb the same mountain twice! Today really is a day for the climbers, can Froome keep his lead or will Contador finally catch up? Will Sagan sustain his lead or can Cavendish topple him?

So today we have another great win by Chris Froome today! But only by 9 seconds, meaning he will go into tomorrow’s race with a lead of 4 minutes 34 seconds! #TourDeFrance #TDF #VaVaFroome #Cycling

via Todays Cyclist http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/372012952890124

Today we have the second time trial of the tour!! But it’s a bit different to the last one as it is very hilly meaning that it won’t be just a straight sprint (sounds perfect for Chris Froome right?), but who knows someone might surprise us! What are all your thoughts on today’s race? #TDF #TourDeFrance #VaVaFroome #cycling

After an eventful race day which has seen the Portuguese rider Rui Costa win his second stage, both the green jersey and the yellow jersey have been held onto by both Chris Froome and Peter Sagan. The big question on everyone’s lips is how will Froome do in tomorrow’s time trial with it being in terrain which suits him? #TDF #TourDeFrance #VaVaFroome #Cycling

via Todays Cyclist http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/372012952890124

So the Tour De France is back after the second rest day! With Froome in control of the yellow jersey with a 4 minute and 14 second lead on Bauke Mollema from team Belkin! Today’s race finishes at gap and includes three climbs, so it isn’t just the yellow jersey at stake! The interesting aspect of today’s race is that the last climb is only 12km from the finish line at Gap meaning the last stretch is all downhill! #TDF #TourDeFrance #Cycling

We haven’t had that many blog posts this week so some of you might of missed them, if this is the case here’s a rundown of them! The first blog we had this week was by Richard Acott giving us a rundown of his race in Bucknell! The next blog we received was from Janet Birkmyre announcing a great win at her latest race! Shortly following we received a blog post from Spirit Bikes giving us a report of their experiences in the national time trials and road race championships. Christian Aucote also gave us some great news in the form of a blog this week announcing a win at the midlands xc sprint eliminator! And last but certainly not least we had team RockGardner giving us a great report from their Round 4 race in LLangollen wales! Thanks for all these reports guys we hope to see more soon! All the blogs above can be found on the following site: http://ow.ly/mUjPG

So today in the Tour De France we have stage 13 finishing in the town of Saint-Amand-Montrond. The town is known for its goldsmiths and jewellers (very fancy!). Going into the race we still have Chris Froome leading the overall stage with his yellow jersey and Peter Sagan once again donning the green jersey in the points classification! Good luck to everyone racing today! #TourDeFrance #TDF #Cycling

For anybody who has missed today’s #Tour De France Coverage the win went Marcel Kittel with Mark Cavendish and Peter Sagan close on his tail! There were no changes for the jerseys with Chris Froome keeping the yellow and Sagan keeping the Green! Sagans lead increased today to 96 points but in second place we now have Mark Cavendish Instead of Griepel! #TourDeFrance #TDF #cycling

So going into the twelfth stage of the Tour De France we still have the yellow jersey in the hands of Chris Froome (Good lad! ) and the green jersey is still in the Hands of Peter Sagan but this next stage having a sprint and competition closing in can he keep it for another day? I suppose we will have to wait and see! #TDF #TourDeFrance #cycling

A big well done to Chris Froome coming second in today's stage and retaining the yellow jerset! only down by 12 seconds as well?! That's some tough competition! It's been an eventful day especially with Mark Cavendish not having the crowd behind him, Did Cavendish cause the crash with Tom Veelers on purpose? i guess we won't know for sure, but does that really mean that he deserves a bottle of bodily fluid thrown over him?
