    Mollema gone pop?

    No he had a crash.

    So after closing to On a Reggae Trip after Bardet's win last year, ITV can follow up with Melle Mel tonight for the win - White Lines (Don't Don't Do It).

    Don't talk rubbish. No way it will fit him like his own.

    I made a one mill change to me saddle height and it made a huge difference. And these guys aren't lardy ass cyclo-commuters

    Froome has sacked off hanging at the back and gone to the front, obviously given up on the bike change.

    Millar needs to shut the hell up about osymetric chain rings

    Won't make much difference in this.

    G's frame is more compact than Froomey would ride. He doesn't always ride Osymetrics in training, y'know?

    There is something about the Dutch and choking in the last few moments of a race/game...

    Yes, but only by a few seconds from Bardet according to the tracker right now

    I wonder if Aru is going to manage anything at all at this rate
