Does no one else find the Col de Bluffy a hilarious name? Who is going to bluff on the Col de Bluffy?

Another one of those occasions where famous teams have left us too soon. Now I'll never get a chance to drop Bluffy the Lampre Slayer casually into a thread.

I found that a little contrived, if I'm honest...

Tough audiant!
Find me a joke that’s not contrived?....

Your mum.

Schooled in London by any chance?
The 2 words guaranteed to start a playground fight in a moment, where I went...

Born and bred. By rights we should be in the headmaster's office by now. But it was worth it.

I can report that the autobus going up the col de romme was like seeing a small shoal of fish out of water. No idol chit chat, just a lot of blank sweaty face gazing blankly ahead gasping for air...

Attacking early is what Quintana does when he’s not going too well. Nerves get the better of him.

Which corner will he caught on?

Should have about 4 minutes by the start of the climb. Maybe Sky won't want to catch him too early to prevent counters. Maybe in the last 6?

Not tA Doctors' existential scream into the void over the missing asterisk gets my vote.

As for the booing, I am reminded of when I took a guided tour of the La Scala opera house. Our guide explained that often the crowd would boo performers even before the opera had finished. She said "Do you know why they do this? It's because the Milanese are horrible people". (She was from Florence).

Movistar go to the front. What on earth are they hoping to achieve now?

Riding to protect their positions?

The smaller teams always want to give their sponsors a bit of TV time.

I say we just start each team from their individual hotel car parks, that'd bloody well shake things up.

^Froome really not happy with his policeman buddy :P

Not surprising, especially after what happened to Nibali. Another shot, as it happened.



Is that Demare looking out of the window?
