    What's the chances of this being snow free late March 2015?

    Just realised that if Nibs falls off, Valv.piti probably wins the TdF.

    Keep it on the rubber, nibs!

    Pinot back on front to show them how it's done :wink:
    Edit - with a teammate. Where did he come from? :D

    Most of the forum specific nicknames I can decipher but some one will need to help me on "Divine Wind".

    That = kamikaze, yes? Therefore a rider in the front group today who does pointless attacks - Rolland?

    Arashiro. A more appropriate phrase would be one of the noble sacrifices. But DV sounds better and it was an extreme move.

    Pinot has the stronger TT.

    Edit: pinot quite good on hilly courses, but not so good on long power courses like Saturday's.

    Should still take time back from bardet though.

    Thanks to Rich pointing out I have been posting on the wrong thread...thought it was odd no one was also posting when it was all cracking off :D

    Nice work by Bardet - strong determination and doing very well.

    Edit - Movistar rider out front is Visconi.

    Majka and JRod in the chasing group at 25 secs and not working.
    Contador is the Greatest

    Nibali's waist is so small.

    Majka attacks...why when Roche is out front.
