It’s been a dramatic first week of the Tour de France, we’ve absolutely loved bringing you daily highlights on Facebook, and as we hit the first rest day, we thought we’d go through some of the winners and losers from the first 9 days. Before that though, we want your opinion on the cobblestones - do they have a place in the Tour de France, yes or no? Take the poll at the top of the screen and give your reasoning in the comments, we’d love to hear your thoughts. Entertainment at it’s best, or simply too dangerous?

We were also delighted to have highlights of the Giro Rosa with Marty McDonald and our very own Emma Pooley, and what a race that was. It was dominated by two teams, Sunweb and Mitchelton Scott. In fact, every single rider on the Sunweb lineup held a leaders jersey of some sorts on at least one day - that’s quite a record!

The Tour of Austria, a tough 8-day race which doesn’t get the attention it deserves, coinciding as it does with the Tour de France. It was a pretty amazing week for Bahrain Merida. Matej Mohoric outsprinted teammate Visconti to win stage one, his first as Slovenian national champion, but Visconti himself went on to win three stages in total. Their 5th stage win came courtesy of Antonia Nibali. His situation almost mirrors that of the Tour of Austria, in that his career is overshadowed by that of his brother Vincenzo, but stage 7 marked his first professional victory at the age of 25, and one that was clearly very popular amongst his teammates.
