    Who ate all the pies.

    Once is acceptable, twice is shameful.

    2nd day his team have drilled it all day on the front...Cav must be feeling it.

    Nice work to the winner. Got some quick legs clearly.

    Oh Quick-Step, more like.

    That was shambolic. The road curves round so the front man on the moves to the inside but the rest don't follow him. So the Colombians go there instead and get a 50m head start.

    Looks like Quick step allowed themselves to be well and truly mugged there. I think the only time I've seen a sprinter pull back a gap that big in a sprint finish was Kittel over Swift(?) in the Giro last year and that was the last we saw of him in that race

    Diaz wins again! Congratulations.

    Big time differences. Tons of WT riders just coasting or unable to hack it. My man Sepulveda right up there again.

    For sure Contador would be winning this if he was racing.

    To be fair the search function only searches back to the forum update a couple of days ago. (Unless you think that same post is also the only time FF has mentioned Contador). I do remember FF being a Sepulveda fan in the past

    Yes Sepulveda definitely in the FF squad - may even be making the GT team!

    I'm a fan too and was disappointed when he crashed?(forgot) before the Tour and didn't ride

    He was a neo pro for FdJ but they dropped him. I think he would fit right in at Ag2R - at 23 lots ahead of him. He should get another crack at the Tour this year

    The way Diaz attacked was astonishing. He nearly ran a moto off the road.

    Stunning scenery too.

    A good ride by Italian TT Champion Adriano Malori saw him win stage 5, 4 seconds ahead of Kwiatowski.

    Diaz did well enough to retain his overall lead over Torres now in second place with Quintana moving up to third (albeit 2 seconds slower than Diaz)

    Just so you can all have closure - frenchfighter and joelsim being Sepulveda fans.

    viewtopic.php?f=40002&t=12974002#p18934419

    I would actually be interested in knowing the riders in team frenchfighter at the start of the season. Would be good fun. I know it is pretty strong with Contador, Nibali and Quintana, but I'm sure there would be some interesting domestiques.

    I did once draw up a list. There were some odd ones in there. Definitely not in there are Gerrans (horrible wheelsucker) and Mauro Santambrogio (fat face spoilt the photos)

    This would be a good thing. Get everyone to draw up a list of nine riders they're bound to for the rest of the season, and that we can refer them to every single time one of those riders turns out to be a complete *expletive*.
