Herrada looked to miss a gear and went down in front of Mollema, who went straight over his bars.

What crap?
Forgive me but I'm not sure Nibbles has it this year and I don't think there are any other serious contenders so if Froome is out then Dirty Bertie will win by default...My concern is that basically the race has been won on stage 4
Edit - Sorry, not won. Gifted
Here's hoping...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

This is going to skew the chipper stage page count.0

Got to agree based on the Dauphine, if Froome isn't 100% Contador is going to be out on his own as far as GC is concerned, unless Nibali has really found some special form from somewhere.ddraver wrote:Above The Cows wrote:ddraver wrote:Oh FFS! Are we going to get 3 weeks of crap then?

I wouldn't take Carlton Kirby trying to inject some excitement into what is otherwise going to be a bit of a dull stage at face value.
He is making something of a mountain out of a mole hill.Correlation is not causation.0 -

Was it a Belkin swerving to hit an OGE that then took out Froome's front wheel?Correlation is not causation.0

I've just read that Andy Schleck is out? What's wrong with him?0

Andy? From what he said it looked like it was a rider:
"Shit happens. I was really unlucky. It wasn't even raining at the moment of the crash," he said, with his anger seemingly aimed at himself as much as the rider who went down in front of him.
"I guess it was my won fault. I was behind and a guy who moved from the left to the right and I went into his back wheel. I couldn't really avoid him and so hit the ground at quite a high speed. The roads were rough and so I lost quite a bit of skin. I landed on my arm, my hip, my ribs and my knee a bit. I can't bend my knee at the moment but I hope I'll be okay."Contador is the Greatest0 -
Not sure what Voeckler is doing attacking on a flat stage. Not feeling confident of his abilities in the mountains.Contador is the Greatest0

I was about to ask how many km he'd put in on the front already... hopefully after yesterday Kittel and Degenkolb aren't moaning about his inclusion :oops:0 -

Aah. Many thanks. I think young Andy needs to have a serious think about his future - cycling just isn't working out for him.0 -

No yellow sheep either.
I heard a rumour that Carlton used to own a property around here....Head Hands Heart Lungs Legs0 -

Very pretty.
If you imagine a hotter version of that in Rapha kit and POC headwear, she's the one I met yesterday
'That' ? what is she a bike?
Her name is Emilia.
Have I told you about the time the lovely Emilia and I shared a hotel room?
Well not quite, but she was in the room next to me. Emma Johansen was in the room opposite. (Snowworld Hotel, Landgraaf for the World Champs). Rui Costa was on the next table having breakfast. I think Iran were in the same hotel too, no Nibali in sight.0 -
Sean's talking about Cassel. I've done that hill up to town and back down but in the other direction to today's route. The road up is fine, though I was huffing and puffing a bit (mind you, I've got a fat arse). The cobbled downhill section is not too bad - the cobbles are in pretty good shape though it's winding so could be an issue if wet.Head Hands Heart Lungs Legs0

he was having a mare yesterday, he was at the back quite a lot, one of our club members took this pic of him mucking about with his mech:frenchfighter wrote:Not sure what Voeckler is doing attacking on a flat stage. Not feeling confident of his abilities in the mountains.
