4.14 from 2nd to 10th.
Deux vitesses.
Will post my thoughts on today later.
Don't bother, its highly predictable whats coming, tedious.
Stick to your homo-erotic cycling pictures.0 -
Grupetto with Cav comes in, joking around. God it's like they don't take it seriously!
Correlation is not causation.0 -
Good news:
Quintana will wear polka dot 'cos Froome can't wear two jerseys at once.0 -
Does anyone know what the fenced dirt road that runs along the spine of Ventoux is for?Correlation is not causation.0

2nd and 3rd are two local riders (Polverini and Ronflet) who snaffle all the local KoMs so I'm not going to mourn for them moving down the leader board.

People ski up there in the winter. Maybe that."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Great ride by Froome and Quintana.
How nice is it to see riders take it up from further out????
Someone strong going at the base lights it up so much sooner with many more likely outcomes.0 -

French you can guarantee a full jersey, shorts, socks and shoes ensemble....

It's interesting to note two things in this thread:
1) How people immediately go to personal attacks and insults in their first response to any person who even discusses anything possibly negative about Sky or Froome. Imagine the response if the doubters acted the same way.
2) How people like adr82 get all worked up about doping talk when it is against sky/froome, but say nothing when it is defending them.0 -
180 riders in. Hivert was down as being dropped with 50km left and is not classified yet.0

When did I do either of those things?
Im not a big fan of Froome or sky, but you can't just throw mud with no evidence."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

But you refuse to engage when anybody questions your insinuations. Don't tell me, show me."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"
