Am off for a SWIM tomo. as these marginal gains by Sky's SWIMMING coach is paying off even for the likes of that mountain goat Kennaugh & Co.

Belkin boys bested Bertie! :shock:

DeadCalm

Nice one Belkin.

ddraver

Tell you what Mollema and Ten Dam have done bloody well there too!

So the allergy excuse for Contador again?

Macaloon

3rd place on the podium is wide open.

Turfle

Beaten by Ten Dam. Oh, Alberto.

I'm staying off the Internet for the rest of July. It's like a time warp back 12 months - man wins race, mention USPS at every opportunity. People will no doubt be moaning about the boring Sky train shortly #panache # true champion #stilldontlikehim.

Wish Quintana had won

Great ride by Froome & Porte. Bit of a shame for GC but he's been waiting a year to do that. Very impressive.

Would you like a violin to go with that.

I had no idea that Porte had made enough marginal gains to utterly devastate the entire peloton, including all the pre-race favourites.

Ah Kwiatkowski comes in head of Schleck. 3 mins down. Does he keep the young riders jersey? How old is Quintana?

Squirrelpie

Massive stage tomorrow. Sky cant dish it out like this again.

thegibdog

Froome takes more than a minute out of all the opposition on the first mountain stage. Very impressive stuff from Sky.

Ugh... I hate the way British Eurosport goes back to the studio so soon.

You should have been watching the rest of the season then.

Err the fact that he was one of the pre-race favourites pass you by did it?

Yates is just Wiggins + 20 years isnt he!

Sometimes I wonder how much all the finger pointing has to do with complete lack of knowledge.

Just over a minute into Ten Dam, is this that extraordinary? More about others failure

Have you followed any of the racing so far this year?

You know.. all those races where Richie Porte was very strong.

Seeing them within 1.30 of Froome suggests all the people going apoplectic up thread are off the mark, they probably need to be asking why some people look a shadow of their old selves (Evans excepted, he's just too old and got the Giro in his legs).

DeadCalm

Very encouraging ride by Romain Bardet there.

To be fair. most of us have watched over 20 - 30 tours and some of our heroes are not very truthfull heroes and the sport is surrounded by cynicism. so watching a team with 5-6 guys on the front rewind banesto. Telekom. US Postal.

Last year Mrs MM asked why Wiggo's was in the car.
