    Amazing powers of recovery from Sky, from having the whole team blow up two days ago, to being on the front yesterday and now setting the pass up the Ventoux.
    You mean after sitting behind Europcar and Movistar all day and then shedding riders within a few minutes of the hurt going on. Seek help.


    The usual suspects are showing up and doing what they always do: refuse to see anything that might be wrong and go for insults. Just like the USPS days. :lol:
    lol, we know who the usual suspects are. And probably best to respect the wishes of the site admin don't you think?

    Dont rise to the bait guys - takes 2 to spoil a thread. Just post about the stage.

    Slim boy fat- I see you are going to go cry to the mods...just like you did last year. People like you are solo predictable.

    adr82- Piss off, at least I am discussing the stage, while you are just whinging because someone is talking about what you want to turn a blind eye too.

    OPQS on the front, slowing it down to give Chava a little more chance.

    Shepherding Kwiatkowski too. He said he was scared about Ventoux.

    No giant painted penises on the road yet, or is that only in the Alpes?

    Thanks all - really should have a shower but no time!

    Go Chav! Cant take any more GC controversy!

    Saw the first one in the Pyranees. Though it was relatively small.

    The way I see it some Sky riders had a relatively easy day on Friday, others less so. Yesterday was a very easy day for most and Sky have had an armchair ride pretty much until now (when 3 of their own riders went out the back door after a short effort).

    If any teams should be suffering from Friday's efforts it should be OPQS, Belkin, Movistar and Saxo. They did the most work for various reasons.

    Quick Step slowing it down at the front for Chava presumably

    1) You'd better watch out, you are about together attacked for discussing this kind of stuff. (Come on slim boy and adr82, lets be even about your whinging)

    2) Sky blew spectacularly on Friday. It was not an easy day by any means.
