    Regretting putting Goss in my fantasy team. Definitely had some sort of brain fart and forgot about his results (or lack thereof) over the last 5 years

    Me too

    This is unwatchable for me because the aspect ratio is broken (squished). Am I doing something wrong?

    Rob Haitch, who's commentating on Eurosport, doesn't sound at all like he did on one of the Cycling Podcasts at the end of last year when he was at some event and asked for a comment. He sounded much more northern then.

    Beefcake Wiggins lurking at the back with the other naughty boys in his team with 16km to go. Manchebo attacking the breakaway group (which is then absorbed by bunch). Paco has 8 secs lead on bunch..

    Who crashed coming out the tunnel?

    Sun behind the riders was a bad design - couldn't make out who was who.

    You don't see that in the Tour very often (for good reason). Always finish heading West if you can.

    It's a good site, I watch a lot of races on there when they aren't on TV.

    Regarding Rob Hatch, he has his normal accent and his commentators accent.

    Team Sky 1st & 2nd, 1st & 3rd and 1st & 6th in Jayco, Valencia and Dubai respectively within 24hrs... Where's the best place on Twitter to enjoy the fall out?
  • What happened to Kittel - caught up in the crash?

    As my keyboard has predictive spell preference of "Eric" for "Etixx", can we all them that?
    Anyway, they were in prime spot hugging the racing line kerb coming out of the tunnel when the crash happened. It didn't look as though it should have affected their lead riders, but obviously disrupted Kittle enough to think "nein! sod dies für ein Spiel der Soldaten"...
  • "A crash at the mouth of a tunnel with a kilometre remaining all but ended the hopes of the pre-stage favourites, Cavendish and Kittel. The crash appeared to be sparked by a touch of wheels with a Trek-Segafredo rider going down. While Cavendish was able to fight back into the leading group, the efforts showed and he came home in 10th. Kittel didn’t have such luck and rolled in well down on the group." (From CN) Shame.

    Kittel is apparently fighting to win the overall.

    Hasn't he seen Hatta Dam?

    Saw that you commented on the CN article on FB.. quite a lot of people it appears haven't seen the route, including Kittel perhaps?
  • ooh fair play to Kittel
