Kirkby mixing up his Eritreans... They all look alike, you know....0

It has to kick off on PdB you'd imagine, they can't all just pass up an opportunity to try and attack Froome and/or improve their own placings on a climb like that. And if Froome is feeling good again he'll likely want to try and get more time in the bank against potential problems in the Alps.Is anyone expecting any GC action today?0 -
Is Ryder Hesjedal actually in this race? I don't think I've spied his ridiculous saddle to bar drop yet.
He was observed missing the break this morning...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Apparently Nibali had blood tests this morning to see where his form has gone.
And Froome had the same at 0630 to see where his came from."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Reasonably heavy rain at the finish for now.Contador is the Greatest0

Obviously Froome has stolen Nibali's mojo, Dr Evil style:[url=http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19653919#p19653919]disgruntledgoat[/url] wrote:Apparently Nibali had blood tests this morning to see where his form has gone.

And to think I nearly blew a days fees to watch this
That would been like spending a load on a high class hooker only to suffer PE at the start of the encounter
Sounds like 20 mins of the highlights will suffice0 -

Night time testing?
Considering their show of strength at the Giro, Astana have almost been invisible here.0 -
FF, why are you posting on the forums when you should be here getting your round in?0
-
Lashing it down and hailstones at the finish now. G ftw!0

Confessions go here, welcome though your intervention was. It could only get worse if the helicopters were groun......a rare 100% loyal Pro Race poster. A poster boy for the community.0 -
Meintjes crashes on the descent apparently, back on the bike though0

Froome will be as fresh as Stage 10. This may be a massacre. Very poor....a rare 100% loyal Pro Race poster. A poster boy for the community.0

Sep's shoulders not benefiting from drafting the little flower.
He should really take most of the descent/flat by himself given he rode the entire climb on Kwiatek's wheel.Contador is the Greatest0 -
Phil: even Nibali still in touch.
Ouch...a rare 100% loyal Pro Race poster. A poster boy for the community.0 -

The two boys out front are starting to look like a mighty impressive ride.Contador is the Greatest0

Sounds like the second test is equally as gripping0
-
Hows does Froome do in the wet?
We know Quintana seems unaffected by bad weather (or hot weather for that matter).0 -

Come on.
Some people are avoiding the test match results so no test spoilers here please.0
