Naww, Cofidis gets the win. That Cofidis guy looks like he is about 12.
Nice for them to finally get a win.0 -
EF on the front with Carthy looking up for it0

Classic. Finally get the little one to chill, wife upstairs reading, settle down to the last 15km of the stage, fall asleep0

Ineos picking it up now0

No gaps in the GC group - Valter should keep pink0

Whoever was making comments about Orla's legs yesterday, she's clearly read them as she is wearing a jumpsuit today (which my wife really likes, even though I think it looks a bit silly...)0

Just watching the Breakaway, they showed Campenaerts bridging to the break - was nice of that Lotto rider to drop back a few metres and give him a wheel for the last bit.0

At last, Cofidis win something. Made up.0

Last Cofidis Giro win in 2010?
Vervaeke drops down a few places in the GC top 10, Buchmann replaces Taaramäe as 15th, and Nibali now 16th.
Were Fabbro and Bilbao within 3 km when Fabbro touched the wheel in front of him, fell and brought Bilbao down? If so, must have been only just.0 -
He does it all the timekingstongraham said:"He's going to leave him behind. He's going to leave him behind!"
Thanks to whoever pointed this out, now I can't stop noticing.
He does it all the time.
I am watching on S4c now but I bet he had a field day today with Gwuparmour at the head of the peloton.

Belgians look out for each other. They’re a bit of a mafia in the peloton.bobmcstuff said:Just watching the Breakaway, they showed Campenaerts bridging to the break - was nice of that Lotto rider to drop back a few metres and give him a wheel for the last bit.

Wiggo really has gone all in on the hipster look. I keep thinking he’s going to tell us about an obscure craft ale whilst listening to a band we haven’t heard of on vinyl.1

Nice tussle."If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Same here. I can't work out if it is a new tick with him or whether he has always done it but someone mentioning it has made me aware. Either way it's really starting to grate.kingstongraham said:"He's going to leave him behind. He's going to leave him behind!"

On the plus side he seems to really be bringing the best out of Kelly who has gone from sounding like someone undergoing resistance to interrigation training a few years to chucking around jokes and anecdotes for fun lately.0 -
I chucked it on with 100k to go, settled down with the new puppy and ended up sleeping most of the last 2 hours. Missed the winners but caught the GC favourites finishing. Missed all the excitement at the start, missed Gaviria crashing but did see the comedy tow back by the medical car..rick_chasey said:Classic.

Lloyd gets more out of him too. Kind of leaves you with the impression he gets a bit frustrated with Kirby.Pross said:

Also both Lloyd and Hatch ask slightly less daft/ more relevant questions than Kirby does, which probably helps.0 -

I liked the roadman interviews at the end. The lesser players in this sport often have a more honest take sometimes"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.

On Gaviria attacking at 37km to go
"He went early [in the sprint] yesterday, he's going earlier today"
On Gaviria getting back on with help from the team car
"Yes, well, not surprising really, he's got Toyota power"
