    That was close!

    Shaved his knee on the barbed wire fence, I suspect.

    Nothing. I like 40% of his posts, really like 30% of his posts, which then makes the remaining 30% of the posts just really annoy me, because I feel he is doing it deliberately to wind people up. So I'm thinking rather than get annoyed, just ignore. Job done.

    Surely the 60% outweighs the annoyance... everyone has their quirks... and I find the sky-hating an antidote to the love from others... yin and yang, balancing out the forum right?

    70:30 seems a pretty good score to me! :)

    That looked like Wiggins was descending well from my flicks onto the screen (can't get the pop out to work on Sky Go).

    Pellizotti hit the same fence that J-R almost hit just now.

    That corner's going to catch someone else out!

    It's a descent, but it's got so many turns I don;'t think nibali etc can really take the risks to pull out loads of gaps. Until last week he wasn't known as being particulary bad at descending. The fall and the rain I think made him pap himself for a few days.

    That's some lovely grass there in that mountain meadow. This is some great mountain pr0n. God I've lived in the Netherlands too long. :(

    Pellizotti just went for a closer look, so he obviously agrees.

    Do you remember when that poor bloke DID go into a barbed wire fence in the Tour?
    The car what caused it was thrown out of the race IIRC.

    We'll find out how the GC guys manage with it in a few seconds...

    Answer: no problem.

    Real shame as he had showed some balls to make up time on GC. Had over 1min before he crashed. Glad he is ok.

    Looks like Rodriguez may have got info to wait for him. If so I bet he is FUMING.

    Surprising to me how many mechanical issues these guys get. I've not had a rear mech problem in 25,000 miles on my bike. I've only changed the cables once too.

    Yeah surprises me too but I suppose they push them really hard without care if they break. Also very lightweight components so more easily damaged. Even so, given a mechanical can cost you a ton of time etc...

    Wish the cameras had followed Henao and Sammy Sanchez on that descent.

    I concur with everything except your maths.
