    Wonder if anyone has told the GB soigneur? He was stood out there for quite a while holding a bag out for Thomas a lap or two ago.

    Just tuned in, why has the whole GB team stopped? Because of rain?

    Their ego's got the better of them and carrying a knighthood on your back is good for the arrogance.

    Weening is there. Slagter a bit behind. Kelderman off the front.

    Actually i bet a Dutch colleague that Mollema wouldn,t win. I picked Froome. Winner gets a slap up meal for two so i hope i,m saving my money. Anyone can win as long as he,s not called Mollema. :D

    As Stuart Hall used to say "Here comes the Belgians" 8)
  • I think it is a good edition so far. Good hard man's race. Chapeau to the NettApp boys. Would like Van Summeren to feature at the end.

    Wooftas.
    'Performance analysis and Froome not being clean was a media driven story. I haven’t heard one guy in the peloton say a negative thing about Froome, and I haven’t heard a single person in the peloton suggest Froome isn’t clean.' TSP
  • The Belgians are so race savvy, have the Italians blown a gasket or taking a breather?

    Henao. He has the blue Sky hat, Uran has the white one.
