So, Chris Froome is reporting a spectator threw a cup of urine in his face during the stage today, with the thrower yeller 'Doper!' at him as he did it. Guess idiots are everywhere. How gross. Froome is a great rider, and this is just insane. I'd think at this point these guys would be tested enough that no one could get away with anything.

It's France!  Somebody was probably just emptying their chamber pot on the Englishman.

While not evidence that anyone is doping, this documentary shows quite well that getting away with doping may not be that difficult.

During stage 19, another nasty spectator spat on Froome. I can't believe how rude some of these spectators are. If you're that upset over Froome getting the maillot jaune, why stay and watch?

I wish Froome the best of luck in stage 21! It was close between him and Nairo Quintana, in stage 20.

No luck required - the overall race is over and it's an easy ride to Paris tomorrow.

The sprinters will have a go once they hit the Champs but as far as anything else, it's just a parade.

Should I be working on getting faster at running by doing the longer distances and working up slowly over time or run faster for shorter distances now?
