    Walsh doesn't half talk sh!t on Twitter when he's actually talking about racing.


    Looks like there's a lot of room for improvement for quintana.

    What's the time cut if Martin's time stands as fastest (it will)?

    Not 100% sure but the TTT was 125% of the best time - does this translate to the ITT

    Does anyone really believe Rogers moved to Saxo for money?

    Well I suppose you could say he moved there for money if money means he wouldn't have been earning any because he was let go by his previous employer.

    Rogers 13th @ 2.26. Not as fast as when with Sky.


    DId they ride this course when he was Sky then? After the same workload? And with him being the same age and with the same mileage in his legs?

    You really are priceless, you just can't help yourself.

    And I doubt Alberto would be thrilled with an all-out effort from Rogers to consolidate a top 20 GC slot.

    Looks like he might well lose White.

    Froome looks like he is flying.

    Any guesses why the final kilometre has almost no spectators. I know it is on the Mont's causeway but surely there's enough space for many many more people to be cheering them along the last section.

    No. He is a clever cat.

    "I was negotiating and I was still negotiating with Sky and we came close to a deal but at the end of the day there was simply a better offer for me at Saxo Bank," Rogers told Cyclingnews at the Dauphine.

    "I had better financial details here. So contrary to what most people thought, and everyone thought that Sky kind of got rid of me, it was my decision to leave. I mean, I'm in the last couple of years of my career."

    I'm pretty sure we all know why Rogers left Sky. And it's not the reason FF comes up with.

    Is Froome wearing a Sky made skin suit or one provided by LCL?

    You'd think Evans would have a deeper Ozzie voice, wouldn't you?

    looks like first time check not very reflective of performance, bucket loads of time being lost between check 1 and 2...

    Sorry, are you referring to stage 19 of the 2012 tour where he finished 53rd at 5' 55"?
    Or stage 9 - 27th at 3' 20"?

    Don't be a pillock.

    FYI, there are more races in the year than the TdF.
