    Did Tom take water from a road side spectator?

    Didn't George Bennett get in trouble for that at the Tour last year?
    Froome poured it over his head

    The moral of this story is don't listen to a word Carlton says.
    Correlation is not causation.

    CF checks the stem. All good. Losing a little time though.

    You guys all criticize Carlton which I guess is fair game. But drunken sailor Sean Kelly isn't much better.

    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.
    Read the race yourself and Carlton is just champagne on top.

    Is it too early to talk about Froome being one of the all time greats?

    Have to say, I’m pretty gutted.

    Last time I felt like this was Armstrong up Luz Ardiden.

    You're watching one of the finest GT stages in history. It is not a time to be gutted.

    Start your stopwatches!

    What's so gutting? The only comeback I can think of which could rival this is only worthy of mentioning in the bottom bracket forum.
  • One of the best GT stage victories, ever.
