    check out the second link which is translated. I'm not sure the bit about "impact to the bottom" is a poor translation or he's referring to the haemorrhoid treatment!

    With his toes down that bike looks waay too small for Contador.

    He's got quite a big bend at the knee still when his leg is "fully" extended.

    With regard to the coverage, I'm not sure I've ever seen a Vuelta where the coverage can match that of the other GTs

    The directors just don't seem to have a clue

    Contador on a TT bike is amazing. Perfect.

    Almost but not quite.

    Wiggins is perfect. You could balance a tray of drinks on his back

    Froome is just ridiculous.

    Zero to hero in a year. Let me know how it is done please.

    Oooh, Kess was probably a little scared. But when he has beaten everyone to the top of the hill and he is not a climber, I guess he is feeling more confident.
