    On IV? I thought "No IV" would've been more accurate.

    The Demon Descender is in the first group. Apparently a super fast descent.

    Haha. The Freiburg Phantom becomes the Freiburg Flash!
    Gotta love the Shack. Maximum return for minimum effort.
    Starting to rival Rabo, in terms of results.

    Did Samu have a slight gear fart?

    Your change from 'I don't care about doping' 'I am not interested in doping threads' 'etc etc' to now someone who likes to make comments about it is pretty funny. Or maybe you are just a Contador hater; shame.

    Top tip : Armstrong fans have had many years of experience calling people haters. You can probably get some quality material from their threads.
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    Thought Samu had that in the bag. Didnt see Kloden taking it although he had a nice enough lead out.

    Think you might be right about the gear fart. Out of the saddle then sat back down then out again.

    I don't care much, but I'm not myopic to how it changes racing.

    I never mentioned Contador.

    There's still a lot of strong time triallists in contention isn't there? Tomorrow should be interesting.

    Indeed.

    Kloden's not a slouch on the TT bike.

    I'd be tempted to write him off as too old hold off Martin, but then, I would have written Kloden off for this stage (and indeed any other) too, so.
