    Sometimes red genuinely is bad though. No-one will go under 37 minutes today. I'd be surprised if they go under 38.

    If Péraud can hang on to Nibali for a third time he'll have a chance of second. If Pinot can hang on, and Péraud can't he might lose a podium slot.

    That Riis time looks more and more ridiculous.

    Was it the shortened stage though?

    Sometimes red genuinely is bad though. No-one will go under 37 minutes today. I'd be surprised if they go under 38.

    And of course if the riders today get nowhere near the times on that list Vayer and his ilk will no doubt come up with some sort of excuse why they are all doping anyway :roll:

    Good shout although I am thinking Moreau at #44.

    Was going to go for Usain's German uncle in #87 but then saw he also came #33.

    Lots of names I have no idea about though.

    Someone in 30s, maybe. The problem is that back in the 90s just about everyone was doped so we never got the chance to see what a top clean rider could do. Some of those doing 35.30 could quite possibly do 37.30 clean.

    I doubt Moreau was clean when he set that time as he was still at Festina.

    Why does everyone think Sastre was clean, he rode on ONCE for starters.?
