I see Dylan had a bit of a chat with Robbie McEwen after the stage.
Thijs Zonneveld was really impressed with the race jury and their friendly relationship with French riders.

Dylan looked quite star struck in that meeting; especially since Robbie did the honourable thing and spoke Dutch to him.
Thijs, rightly, has a special hatred for all jury involvement in cycling; let alone when it's as ridiculously parochial and inconsistent as it was this year.0 -

But what about Cofidis - imagine having an officially worse tour than Bahrain Merida.0 -
Who do Lampre/Bahrain Merida even bother?

Why did they have to leave a gap for 2014? Froome has have that obvious gap on his as a reminder that he crashed. Some sort of passive-aggressive punishment for letting the team down.greasedscotsman wrote:Ridgerider wrote:Are they showing the years that they have ridden in the winning team in the race?

Too sweet! Dylan slept* with his grandad's self-made bike when he was little.

Fair enough assessment. May have had the legs to drop, maybe not win. Would rather he ends up at somewhere like trek than movistar, where he's likely to be third choice.0
