    "The rain has no intention to stop, and on the first part of the downhill of the Klausenpass, there is fog and poor visibility for the riders and the drivers in the Team cars."

    Sounds like fun - not. They look to be 1-2km from peak

    TJ VG seems to be nowhere - not with favourites and doesn't seem to be behind with yellow jersey group either. Anyone seen him recently?

    Sky wasting 2 millions per yer for Geraint Thomas who should have stayed a classic rider instead becoming a tier 4 GC rider.

    At least is all clear, there will be all for Froome at TdF , no protected role for Thomas who sucks. The only thing that is good at (Thomas) is to be a domestique and flat engine for tier 1 GC riders.

    edit : not to speak about the fact that Thomas must be the MOST boring GC rider in the peleton right now.

    Paris-Nice beating Contador and Porte - fourth rate?

    Weening seems to have been let off the leash since leaving Orica. Good for him...

    yes, 4th tier GC rider. what happens in February is of no importance when things really matters (grand tours)

    Tier 1 : Froome, Quintana
    Tier 2 : Contador, Nibali
    Tier 3 : Aru, Pinot, Porte, Keldermann, Chaves, Valverde, TJ, etc
    Tier 4 : Thomas and others like Costa, Spilak, etc

    and as a matter of fact i think Thomas selection for TdF must be also questioned. If it is for him to go than should go to replace Puccio and make room for an in form climber.
