Well best Kom for years ruined ..."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 pm1

The white jersey is a nothing competition IMOIt's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.0

Fair enough, the combination jersey isn't on the wikipedia link I looked on.neonriver said:

Will be interesting if Pog beats Ullrich record of consecutive leading White Jersey think Ullrich was 40 days in a row from 96-98salsiccia1 said:The white jersey is a nothing competition IMO

He's not going to make many friends though and there'll be times where he isn't finding it so easy. OK it was down to Ineos that Poels got caught today so you can't blame him going all in for the stage but it would be interesting to see what he would have done had the stage been available with Poels still up the road. I'm firmly in the 'it's a race' camp but in the long run that sort of thing can come back and bite you.rick_chasey said:Cannibal
He's a hungry lad isn't he?
It would be interesting to see what those who moaned about the boring Sky domination think of this race. As for the talk of whether it would have been closer if Roglic hadn't had his crash, does anyone really think he would have stayed with Pog on the attack on Stage 8? I think he'd have been a solid 2nd on the basis of his TT but still way off the top spot.0 -
A old guy jersey makes more sense"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 pm2

I've got no problem with him flying off for the win. He's far and away the strongest rider and MTF stage win in the Tour is always a big prize.Pross said:

You would think he won't win the TT on Saturday as any remaining specialists have had a much easier few days but I certainly wouldn't bet against it. I was originally thinking the TT was tomorrow to give him a chance of 3 on the trot. He'll probably win the bunch sprint though!0

Cav in 32 minutes down so comfortable yet again. Hopefully it hasn't stretched him too much before tomorrow.0
