    I'm sure Horner is gutted by your lack of concern ... Brad, however, at least finished HIS tour inside the top ten ... Likely alot better than 2 weeks further down the line ...

    I was really looking forward to seeing how far Wiggins could go this year. Bollocks.

    I know he can't win this but it would have been nice to see exactly how far he could go this year, he was in superb form.
    It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.

    On the up side, maybe Sky will ride for G instead now.

    Or Uran.

    And Wiggins can win the Vuelta.

    So who do we shift our allegiance to now? I'm going for Evans.

    Really gutted by that. Hoping sky abandon GC now and go for stage wins. Swift, EBH, Thomas and Uran can still impress on the TdF imo.

    But he'll have lost too much time int he overall - or will he make it back to the main group?

    I don't know what Sky's strategy will be now. I guess Geraint will be team leader in terms of GC but I think realistically they'll be going for stage wins with people like Swift, Boasson Hagen and Uran.

    Teams are bing a bit naughty and not waiting. Should be holding back even though a Sprint in 8 km, still a bit naughty.
    Wiggins may try to get the Amarillo Jersey now (oh, they changed it to red :? )

    Yep. Some guy stacks it heavily doing the same sport we all on here do and emadden doesn't give a shite. Empathy: what separates us from the animals.

    I did see earlier that Basso had about 6-7 guys around him. This kind of thing happened when LA came in as a TDF winner. LA had his Team all around him. Previously they used to have the Teams working on the front, the big cheeses just behind with maybe one or two riders and that was it. Now, the big cheeses seem to have too many guys about them, hence the over crowding at the front. The Teams have got to sort this out.

    At least Harmon can still use his tissues for a Brad related issue ... and Sean can sit next to him alot more comfortably now ...
