It's important to keep hand-bacteria out of your motorhome, but it's fine to take a bottle covered in the sweat from Kiry's back.
Sky are full of bollox
lots of fawning over Contador being on the rollers within 90 secs of finishing a stage the other day
a practice popularized by....Sky
as Tinkov said, at least they are trying things
Reminds me of this
An interesting exchange between Cancellara, Cav and journalist
The press conference on Tuesday was almost as interesting as the sprint finish to Tournai. Cancellara came into the pressroom to respond to questions and then Cavendish joined in. The last question to Cancellara perked ears.
Journalist: “Is your team or the others envious of Sky?”
Fabian Cancellara: “What’s so special? Their cars? The nice helmets? I don’t know, you have to tell me, I don’t know.”
J: “The level of detail. For example, how we see them warming down. You don’t see other teams doing that.”
FC: “Warming down?”
J: “Yes, cycling outside the bus.”
FC: “Ah, rollers (he pronounced it ‘Rulers’ – ed)!”
J: “Yeah, cooling down.”
FC: “No, I’m not jealous now. First, that’s most important, you have to do in what you believe and in what you think is best for you. They just do what’s best for them and I do what’s best for me. What I’m going to do now? I don’t know, maybe go swim, go on my rollers or I’ll go jumping around, I don’t know. Everyone has his best way. What matters in the Tour is recovery, recovery, recovery. We have a nice cook who does a great job. Every night we get high-level food. We have our soigneurs. I saw 10 teams in the Tour de Suisse doing rollers after the race, but you have to keep doing what you believe in. That’s important.”
Cavendish comes into the room.
MC: “Can I ask, who asked that last question?”
J: “Me”
MC: “You’re banned from asking questions to me. That’s mental! You’re banned from asking questions.”
Terrible from Viviani sitting up with 50m remaining.

There was a small split in the bunch today and Ryder is now 13 seconds behind Geniez. The gap was only 1 second yesterday but presumably Ryder will go on the attack again so this little battle at the bottom of the top ten still isn't finished.

Love the commentary on eurosport! greatest Kelly'ism so far "Ulrika Greenedge" coming to the front"
Don't think I've heard Sean Kelly as enthusiastic for the racing as he has been the last few stages. Or maybe he's picked-up a cheeky 'Motorola' endorsement deal. It really helps that Rob Hatch asks him meaningful questions. Enhances the race no-end.

Moldolo yet to fall apart, somewhat surprisingly.

This will make sense if you're watching on Eurosport.

Grmay on the front had been bringing the gap down too fast so Cheng went to the front to regulate it and expanded it.

On board with Luka Mezgec.
