    Samu should try and use the descent to get some seconds, and he can sprint to pick up the bonus. Would narrow GC.


    Would help my PTP too!! :lol:

    Ummm, if this sticks together does Wiggins really want to be in pink tomorrow?

    Have to say it's very sporting of RCS to have a technical descent with nice soft grass verges so if you stack it then you should be able to get back up again.

    Paolini - would love for him to get it. Deserves something after his spring. Great legs to be up there.

    These Blancos should not hit the front if they cant corner.

    Who needs wet roads. Wiggins riding too far back.

    Pointing at your silly helmet doesn't make it any less silly. In fact it only draws attention to it.

    No, Paolini, gets both stage win and jersey.

    I thought he was saying that he beat them all, even with a silly hat.

    Great 4th for Santambrogio and a morale booster for a faltering PTP campaign.

    Excellent stage design, that. Very good ride by Paolini. Perhaps not so good news for Ryder if he feels he needs to bury himself for 12s here and there.

    Right, Fair Warning, Frenchie Style, fact poor, opinion high, rant approaching

    THAT is how you win a ffffffff*cking race, not by pissing and moaning about power meters or trains or doping or whatever the whiny little bitches have been on about over the past 2 years.

    You watch bike races, you identify where teams are weak (e.g on classic type stages) and you hit them as hard as you can on stages like that. That is how you WIN! I'm not JV's biggest fan but whoever orchestrated that from Garmin or Astana deserves a heap of respect.

    Heavyweight, True Champion, assorted other meaningless cliches etc...

    and breathe...

    He lost his front and, reacting to it, so did Scarponi. Maybe a bit greasy on the corner there?
