    The controversy never ends!

    Pierre Rolland lost the points he won on the Col des Prés yesterday by riding into Igor Anton.

    Quite right as well, he nearly put Anton into the crowd.

    Absolutely.

    In other more important matters, is that the sequined maillot jaune Froomey has on? Doesn't look very sparkly. I am disappointed. Or is he going to get the sparkly one only on the podium where he will then twinkle like the Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square?

    The guys at Rapha are making one with a 70% lycra 30% personality mix for him. Last year they got those quantities the wrong way round for Wiggo with near disastrous consequences

    Cannondale finish the race with 8 riders.

    IIRC that ends a lengthy streak of finishing GTs with the full squad intact.

    (can't find the stat)
    That run ended at last year's Vuelta - it was 11 consecutive Grand Tours.

    No Carlton. Champs-Élysées is not the School Field. It is Elysian Fields.
