    Is he a corporate tax avoider or has doping links etc?

    I like his attacking style.

    Bit of a wheelsucker. Well known as coaster.

    Well, big respect to those out front and hats off to Costa. A clever and strong rider. Deserves this win if he gets it. Two in one Tour from a non GC rider is pretty amazing.


    ssshhhh FF you'll inflate the sprinters' egos!

    Ha yes, forgot about them! Discounting them also.

    His choice of eyewear make him look like Transitions Tyler.

    Is Kloden "ok" by you lot, or is he tainted somehow?

    Froome can give them 30s on this descent. No need for heroics.

    Did Rolland get any points on the Croix Fry?

    I don't think so, he'd dropped back too far by then.

    As he pulls on the front, hope he doesn't regret it.
