    A strong break but not strong enough against the effort that the GC teams are going to put into it.

    I hope J Rod gets the KOM jersey today.

    You're not a fan?

    I won't embed this as an image, out of respect for my fellow posters. If you really have to see Voeckler in the polkadots the go ahead and click, but please make sure you have medical experts close at hand should this cause a violent adverse reaction.

    Meanwhile I've just had to get all disgusted from Amsterdam on Twitter over that idiot John fellow handing Heineken to the French.

    Looks lovely at the finish.

    This should be in the Tour rule book. Along with maximum height for a sock, and the number of spots on the polka dot jersey. :D

    I'm also hoping Voeckler never, ever gets near the polkadots again.

    What's up Doc, you don't want to see Tommy V's spotty crotch?

    He's like a very severe case of syphilis on a bike.

    He's allowed to, as long as he stays away from the spotty shorts, bike, glasses, gloves etc etc. It looks awful!

    It's difficult to make white, red and green look good together. I can see why they went for the white shorts. But yes, a bit much.

    Ooo I'm getting into a Twitter argument with that poetry idiot John over Heineken. He's claiming it as Alsatian because Heineken have an international brewery there. Well they also have a brewery in Rwanda, but that doesn't make them Rwandan.

    Sagan, Voeckler, JRod sprint. Sagan drops off and JRod just nudges it.

    Voeckler seems to have the points, but I'd like to see a photo.

    What does *spoiler* mean?

    Is it one of those stupid PC things like the way the BBC puts all headlines like "this"? As if putting in inverted commas means they can claim they didn't really mean it. All headlines are just alleged.

    How can you spoil something that hasn't happened? And once it's happened it's too late anyway.

    And if you think you might be revealing something that happened to someone that has recorded it and wants to pretend they do not know the result then WTF are they doing reading an internet forum about it for!

    Rant over.


    Kind of go along with this its a modern day bullsh*t thing people get real anal about this its simple if you don't want to know the result stay off the forum. After all you woudln't watch Sky Sports News or BCC Sports news this is no different.

    Sagan is now by himself at the head of affairs. Wet descent after all.

    Black shorts should be the law in this instance

    Congrats, he seems to have admitted defeat.

    He really is a plum.
