    I went there once.

    *shudder*


    If you do pop in, make sure you've got some bleach and iron wool to scrub yourself clean with after.

    I quite like having a look at the clinic when Sky win. Someone always trolls them.

    Sagan winning nothing this year. If hes that bad after 40km of work and 215km of racing he's not a prayer in the monuments
    He made the selection though so perhaps the fitness is there but he's low in confidence?

    It wasn't confidence, he had nothing left when Thomas went. He couldn't even stay on Stybar's wheel when Stybar tried to close the gap.

    Hunger bonk, maybe. He looked reasonably fresh at the end of MSR, though given the tailwinds that might not mean all that much.

    I think only a fool would discount him for another 2-5 place today after that on incident which was so sudden. No one loses form between the 5 - 4th km of a race. That's something else.

    Lights-out for Candelabara.

    I must confess, I don't actually know what website the clinic is actually part of, I've only heard about it on here and it sounds like a scary place! (Mind you the Pro Race forum always produces a few nutters around TDF time...)

    Bit corporate but nevermind.

    Ah right. Might have to have a look for a laugh.
