    What style of tinfoil hat are you wearing today?[/quote]

    It's quite similar to what Saxo will do, you think that Majka won't be on Tour? That would leave Contador with Kiserlovski and Kreuziger for mountains, and none of them had any great result this year(Kreuziger 10th on Adriatico is the best). More on that,probably Sky will dominate all mountain stages like they do for years and that will leave Contador alone,probably Quintana also.
    Win yellow on TT,keep it through mountains and win TDF, that's why Giro and Vuelta were much more fun than Tour, no sterilization by Sky.[/quote]

    You've really nailed the online troll rambling style.

    If you're so sure of it Ivanoile, I'll put a £10 bet on with you, that Landa won't be in Skys tour team. Loser sends £10 to charity of winners choice.

    Sky Italia getting value for money again.

    Best Team Sky performance at the Giro is Uran's 2nd place...

    PS. Sorry for Landa. Tummy problems are no fun. Had a similar issue after a BBQ in France last year. Leaves you flat.

    What a load of rubbish that statement is.

    Majka may very well do the Tour. But he won't drop out of the Giro because of it. Barring problems he'll ride the Giro for as good a GC position he can and then he'll ride the first half of Tour like a tourist and be on form for second half.

    Whoever was asking why he was let into the break on stage 8 - that's why.

    Never managed to track it on YouTube, but Amador did one of the most brilliant (stupid) descents I've ever seen from a pro...

    Brambilla's done well there to get back on.

    Delaying the inevitable when it kicks off on the final climb. Be nice to see someone shake it up....

    Did Astana put all that work in just to see Amador drift off the front by a minute..?

    and ivanoile, wonder what your theory would have been if Kruijswijk had sent Majka packing on that descent...

    Ciccone! Ciccone! Ciccone!

    Amador joined up with visconti and achieves nothing. Chaves on Valverde like a limpet again.

    The way Hatch was saying it sounded more like Chicory

    Fair play to the GC guys for pulling Amador back so well. Only lose a few seconds, if any.

    Jungels into pink?

    Good work by Brambilla to get back on and then get on the front like that.
