– Tour de France Stage 17: Geschke wins, Contador crashes, van Garderen abandons
LottoNL-Jumbo’s Laurens ten Dam is one of the best known and most popular pro cyclists on Strava, and is blogging for it during this year’s race.
In his latest entry, which you can read here, the former Rabobank rider said he started using the ride-sharing app “so people can see how hard I work.”
He adds that he is “really sad to see the reaction to Chris Froome’s performance and all that’s happened to him” – although he tried to head off suggestions that the Team Sky man should also post his rides to Strava.
Do not. I am proud of my KOM's https://t.co/PIr4aj6aRd

Here’s Velon’s latest video, covering yesterday’s stage.
Some of that footage is spliced into Orica-GreenEdge’s latest backstage pass video, and it’s one with a twist – the entire film was shot with GoPro cameras including sequences on the team bus or in team cars.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
