    Not such a good answer.

    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    More to the point, why does the chap at the back have two different numbers on?

    I don't remember Cav's repeated wins being this boring or maybe I have rose tinted glasses because he has always been my number one MY MAN.

    You must be forgetting at least half of his wins that were so dull, and the big stack which weren't won because of him being the fastest sprinter at all.

    Jurgen is trying to liven up a dull stage. Merci Jurgen.

    A grim day for Astana.

    Team Aru potentially further weakened, although although he intends to continue.

    It's not as if QS are even having to work. Two men on the front doing the controlling and one to bring Kittel through at the end to use the Katusha / Lotto / DD / Giant lead out trains. Muppets.
    At about 3km to go Kwiatkowski was on the front. But he might have been trying to slow them down for his Polish mate.

    QS ballsed up the roundabout, Sky took the short route and found themselves on the front. I dared to dream that it would allow Bodnar to stay away.

    Oh for one of those transition stages with loads of 3rd and 4th cat climbs and a 40 man break getting 15 minutes.

    Busy helping colleagues finish various Imperial, Jeroboam, Double Magnum, Mangum and normal rosé bottles of wine and hooning around the water in speed boats, (see, it sounds fun, but with crap company it really isn't), so I have only just seen this.

    Kittel is still 2kph faster than anyone else. No more to it.

    As long as he's somewhere in the top 10 with 250m to go he'll win in current form.

    Still don't understand why lotto (either) stick someone in the break and/or play poker with Quick Step.

    Then again, they probably just think that it doesn't matter since he'll win anyway.
