    Is there a live timer anywhere for those of us who are entertaining children with nursery rhymes in foreign?

    Because he used Tony Martin's patented sandpaper on saddle technique?

    Yeah, Froome doesn’t look comfortable. Rocking. Bigger gear than usual for him. Sliding up the saddle and pushing back nearly as bad as Contador in his pomp.

    Superman shocker.
    Carapaz the same.

    Did anyone put money on Aru beating Froome, today?

    I usually hate it when people cast aspersions on good rides, but that one from Aru...
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.
