    Superman goes - they will suck up all the other bonus seconds, bad for TD

    What are the intermediate sprint bonuses? Froome won, Tom 2nd.


    PS - Lopez goes. Told ya!
    3 and 2, so Froome gained a second effectively

    Cheers.

    Did Carlton just bust his load over Froome’s tongue?

    Well I guess we can at least stop talking about whether Yates' gifting Chaves the win on Etna and the bonus seconds would cost him the win.

    Froome's tongue must be like a stone, hard as a rock

    Tom basically riding on his own. The rest of the group just putting in accelerations around him.

    Did Tom take water from a road side spectator?

    Didn't George Bennett get in trouble for that at the Tour last year?

    TD's company continuing to attack and probe each other, Dumoulin not bothered, happy to keep tapping it out.

    Ah thanks, I tuned away from the screen and thought Carlton had said it was Tom.

    Will Froome get a penalty?

    I'm afraid if you don't realise how much complete rubbish Kirby spits out then it must be that you don't recognise what's actually going on yourself.

    Kirby reads everything wrong.

    It may sound dramatic because of his stupid pitch going up and getting louder and louder but it's all bôllocks.

    The guy is a f*****g idiot.
