We really do need one of Disgruntled Goat's handbag pics0 -
I really, really want Dumoulin to win this now. Hopefully he'll be close enough at the top of the final climb tomorrow to close any gap on the descent and finish in style.0

@gregorbrown: Aru skips podum, refuses to speak, Astana bangs car in get away.
Behaviour of a true champion there.
Must have learnt this trick from Sky eh.
Two posters falling over themselves to get the anti Aru message onto the board!
Wait until you find the reason why they left. Lls and Cataldo were almost having an argument as they rolled into the finish.Contador is the Greatest0 -

Seriously, ask yourself: why is that? Is it because people don't like Aru or because they want to rub a certain poster's nose in it?It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.0 -

Looks like LLS may have given Aru a handsling as Dumoulin went on the attack... :roll: 0 -
Do we need to pick a side in all this? I dont like Astana but Aru is good to watch. He might have an ugly as hell riding style, but then whenever i see photos of myself racing im worse - and he certainly has a go and animates races. And Dumoulin is smashing it, great performance up to now riding with his head and his heart - so much to like there! Overall i hope Dumoulin wins (due to the Astana factor) but Aru would be a more than worthy winner too.0

10 second penalty?
Race jury looking at footage to decide. Be surprised if they do give the penalty as the footage isn't exactly convincing. You can see what you want to see depending on who you support.0 -

Look which top racer was spectating!
10 second penalty?
Looks like the jury has decided to give him a 10 secs penalty...although I am holding my breath until I see something official.Contador is the Greatest0 -
It'll be accompanied by a fine.
The UCI end-of-season ball should be well-funded, if solely by Astana's fines0 -
What's the penalty for?Napoleon, 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

I think Sanchez? gave hime a quick flick up the cobbles, grabbed his bars and launched him offWhat's the penalty for?0 -

You'd think gets have learnt from Nibali.
It's not a six-day race chaps. No hand slings. Amateur hour.Napoleon, 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 -

Neither Astana or Giant covering themselves in glory over this one.
Astana for doing what pretty much everyone expects them to do: cheat.
Giant: For not accepting the jury's verdict and requesting a re-trial.
Win it on the road, I say, not with slo mo video footage or whatever.
After all, everybody bar one already knows who the true champion is."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

Giant stropping, are they
Cmon, Giant, Dumoulin's in the driving scene, it wasn't as if the handsling did any good in the long run0 -

So has he got a penalty?
The jury are still mulling it over. I hope there's no penalty, for the sake of the race, but seriously WTF were they thinking?0
