    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Gaviria abandon.

    Froome to win on the Champs. You've heard it here first.

    funny how tactics go full circle historically. attacking from 80km is the new attack from 1k to the summit

    Bets on the next sprinter to go? I’ll say Demare.

    will Laporte score an ironic win for Cofidis?

    What'd be a good rule of thumb for a Sky train catching a tiring solo leader up to a MTF? 30s per remaining km on the final climb?

    Nobody wants to know how small your stones are, or that you're playing with them.
