    Where did Geraint go? Been struggling to watch and everytime I switch on there's an ad break.

    usually you two bring a bit more intelligence to the forum than you are today...

    Is that Porte back in the Contador group?

    Yes. You can always tell because a) he's tiny and b) he rides out of the line most of the time because he says he is so small he can't see and he gets scared.
    Correlation is not causation.

    No, it shows you're a complete rider if you ride in both a straight line and round a roundabout

    Is there a record for pages of a spoiler on one day of stage race? This could be a long thread.

    Well they should stop rain at GTs then. Thinking about it, the rain was responsible for all those Giro crashes too so definitely should not be allowed.
