    Can somebody direct me to MRs meltdown?

    I'm asking for a friend
    I think most of it got deleted.


    FOund it through the search. Most odd.

    It's making me feel a little queasy watching him descend.

    What would a late starting rider have done all morning? Lie-in and a fry up?

    Valverde murdering TJVG's time at the final check. Phil and Paul spectacularly getting Valverde's time wrong.

    I can't believe Chris Froome uses those rubbish standard issue tinny ear phones that come as standard with an iPod. That is lacking some serious panache. :shock:


    I dont think Froome would be listening to an iPod, but I know that a lot of the lower placed riders do ride listening to music (even though it is not permitted)

    Holy shit, did somebody use the Men In Black memory wiper thing on Peraud after his crash this morning?! He's descending like a lunatic.

    In the warm up. Listening to an iPod, warming up on the turbo.

    I'm expecting a new poster called PandP to appear and bitchslap y'all! ;)

    Right come on Froomey (which it appears every Euro commentator is now calling him...)

    Real shame that Valverde lost all that time earlier.

    And yes Nairo does not have bars.
