    Looked like Denz was in the wrong gear. Probably just the tired legs tho.

    Mohoric was mixing it in the sprints in Catalunya, so it was always on the cards.

    Yeah, I imagine a few thought today was going to be a (relatively) easy run as a breakaway did their thing.

    Has Chaves finished yet?

    Does he have lights?

    Is he gonna pop up on the commuting chat board?

    Tough, tough day for the lad.

    Didn't catch the stage today. How did the likes of Pinot and Froome lose time to Yates today? There wasn't a split in the field at the end was there?

    Hopefully enough to send Vino'sGhost into meltdown. :lol:








    (it ain't gonna happen, though)


    So, presumably Chaves will take the next few days for respite, then look to get up the mountain road at every occasion.
    That way he can snaffle up loads of KoM points for the jersey and be there on tap for the final climbs.

    viviani dropped on first climb according to text updates
    And at the summit he'll only have 210km left to catch up.

    sure he will be fine. :)

    Is there a Bikeradar league on Velogames? Do share the code....

    He beat him by 1.28 over 23km in the Tour TT last year. This one is 10km longer but Yates has supposedly improved so I'd say a similar amount.

    Yes, but KG's not in it though. He is talking number 1 spot out of ALL the leagues, combined.
    All a bit awesome.

    Anyhows, a quick search and try this code: 912751218
    Set up for the classics, it should carry through for the season. :wink:

    i don't think Td is improving and he is going to leave his legs on the Zoncalan
