Driver of the Fruit Shoot Vehicle "Yes in principle I agree with Isabel, I can't see where the f@ck I'm going though"

Contador and Porte "Yes we agree that a spoiler thread is required. We have massive heads so our votes count double"

Ramunas Navardauskas "Yes good idea we have these in Lithuania also. Did you see me yesterday I was great."

    Just in case. I know you'll have the PSVs in hand.

    What margin do we think Tony Martin would have over a 3rd week Froome, and can Nibali beat it?

    How many team cars do the teams have? Do they rely on neutral service if they can't support all riders. Plenty of teams will have several riders on course at the same time. What is the expected time cut-off in relation to the winner?

    Fifteen riders through the first checkpoint, Danny Pate toiling invisibly, Cheng taking no prisoners, and we can't get a proper ***Spoiler*** thread started. Did somebody throw RideO under a bus?

    The guys in 2nd, 3rd and 4th have only raced together in a TT once this year. The Vuelta al Pays Vasco which Tony Martin won. It was half the distance but also fairly lumpy

    Pinot 10th @ 1’25’’
    Peraud 5th @ 35’’
    Valverde 8th @ 1’02’’

    I know that technically this thread has spoiler in the title, but it should really be Spoiler for Stage 20? *SPOILERS*.

    This wouldn't be the BR Pro Race Forum if there wasn't a complaint about proper spoiler labeling.

    Can I just wish that Valverde has an absolute mare? A couple of punctures would do fine. Not very charitable or Corinthian of me, but I want to see the Frenchies on the podium. And I really detest Valverde.

    1st rider through 3rd checkpoint 48km @ 68:19. 6km from home. Long one.

    e: Cheng depleting worldwide reserves of superlatives.

    I wouldn't surprise me if both Frenchies beat Piti today*

    There's at least a chance that Pinot's reported TT improvement can hold off a weakening 3rd week Valverde, despite the latter's better paper record and national champ status.

    Nibali's margin vs the podium contenders could be embarrassing over 54km.

    Here he is underway in the last few kms this morning:

    He was overtaken by the rider following him, Cimolai, after the second time check, and Cimolai became the first rider home, in a time of 1:15:17, average speed 43,036 km/h.

    Cheng takes another minute on the TT
    Not normal

    Jesus, have they given him special raised handlebars or something? Sit up and beg bars with a basket on front?

    This wouldn't be the BR Pro Race Forum if there wasn't a complaint about proper spoiler labeling.

    Or opening a proper race thread.

    Don't start a race thread if one can't be bothered to post a few simple links and images (stage profiles)

    Now it's out of the system.
