Boswell the British interest.
Ian Boswell the American you mean?
I think Frenchie means the Ian Boswell, great great great grandson of Sir Marcus Cuthbert Finknottle, the terror of the fuzzywuzzies
I'm mildly insulted that you make up a fictitious name for comedic effect using Cuthbert.. Just happens to be my middle name...0 -

LBS is blocked btw.
By British interest I mean of interest to the Brits on this board.
Of course I am.
Why would we be interested in Boswell then? Why don't you just admit you farked up and got his nationality wrong in your desperation to post something else anti-Sky and patronising to the users of this forum?
He was just insinuating that the Brits are only interested in British riders or riders on British teams. That's what I understood from it anyway. Personally I did find his involvement at the front interesting - suggested Froome not too worried about being off the back, also I had almost forgotten Boswell was riding.0 -

I'm British, yet most of my favourite riders are Spanish, German or Belgian. does that make me a non sky supporter (yes is the right answer)...0

in a meeting so sound off. Could use more gap times on screen.
1:56 between leaders and peleton. Lead group just crested second summit . Long descent0 -

4 lane empty motorway to descend on. Bloody fast for the lead group.0

93km 2:47 gap. Director doing a special on Imanol Erviti as if he were the only one riding0
-
90 and 3 mins with a group at 20s.
Hope they're enjoying the descent...while it lasts.0 -
Chaves:
"Purito is crazy. The stage should have been held over two days. Seriously I think it suits riders like me, Purito or Nairo. We're all looking forward to this stage."Contador is the Greatest0 -

I hate those descents - firstly cos I am crap at them, and secondly because I realise every metre I drop is gonna be a metre I have to climb0 -

Sky now lead the peloton which is at 4mins to Erviti. The chasers are 45 secs behind him.Contador is the Greatest0
-
riders are starting to 'push on '0
-
Bit odd for Movistar to go solo out of the break no?0
-
Guess it means they don't have to chase.0
-
Landa just sitting pretty in this chasing group. Nice position for him to either go for it or to give support for Aru.Contador is the Greatest0
-
Froome has a massive 7 Sky riders leading the peloton in front of him and 1 more in the break.Contador is the Greatest0
-
75km, +1.07, +4.31
Erviti going very well solo for nowContador is the Greatest0 -
Sky upping the pace, gap from peloton to main breakaway pegged to just under 3:30
Erviti another minute ahead of that.
Apparently raining on the peaks ahead...certainly appear to be some dark clouds ahead but riders still in bright sunshine for nowMy bikes

These very hard stages are more often than not very conservative.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -

Such a hard profile right in the middle of a race suggests a 'it'll all kick off on the last climb' dayNapoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0 -
The leading group is breaking up - 3 chasing to try and bridge to Erviti. includes mikel landa
edit
brought back by rest of group. Erviti crests by himself 50 sec clear0
