    How about some footage of incidents with Fararr, Ferrari etc?

    Thought not - bit selective FF. Bertie needs a good steak and you're all bitter and twisted!

    Because he said Quintana had been reading too many newspapers after Quintana’s big and ultimately futile attack on stage 8. The idea being the newspapers are begging for attacks, whether or not they make sense.

    Porte was obviously feeling pretty cocky after stage 8. After stage 9 he changed his tune.

    Yes he was heaping praise on Movistar the day after, with his comments on Valverde's 'swingers'. It seemed a bit silly and overexaggerated.

    I like this photo a lot, good angle. Also it made me laugh when Phil Liggett was talking about a 'massive carrot' dangling in front of the peloton. Then he was saying the cars had been pulled from the gap and 'the carrot isnt there anymore'. Me and my girlfriend were shouting at the telly 'yes there is'. I dont think Liggett gets it.

    (does anyone other than Frenchie believe that was Porte Apologising? Surely a quiet "Good Day Sunday Ritchie" would have been enough from Quiptana (sic) )
    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

    I think he (FF) was joking and poking fun at Porte.

    In all the excitement, I've only just realised that Mollema, Ten Dam, Dan Martin, Rui Costa, J-Rod and Quintana lost 5 seconds to Froome, Valverde, Kreuziger and Contador. Not significant as far as the overall win obviously but sloppy and could impact the lesser places.

    Look at Cav leaning into Tom while he is centred on his bike and going straight.

    No way FF, you can't have that one.
    To freeze frame a fraction of a second is not on.
    The video's tell the story about him looking back then nearly falling off as he moved into Cav's path.
    I take it you have never been in a charge to the line and had to stay upright with all the bumping and boring elbows in your side.

    I know only whimps play Premiership Football these days but is that the way you want cycle racing to progress.
    So, as has been said many times on this thread.
    It was a racing accident, so live with it.

    "I prefer not to get involved in what happened, but if I had done that I would have been disqualified," Rojas told Spain's Cadena Ser radio according to AFP. "If it were up to me, Cavendish should have been disqualified."
