    Pog looks so average on the bike. Not offensive like Froome, just like a bloke who does a decent bit of cycling.

    Not convinced it was even a deliberate 'attack'. Moved to the front, was a bit quicker on a tricky section, got a couple of lengths by default and away he went

    Very funny.

    Google says Breitling Endurance Pro. Thought Blythe said £250 there but I must have misheard as they are more like £2.5k...

    Valverde at 41 is better than Valverde aged 40

    'cos against Pog people would realise he isn't the greatest rider of his generation :wink:

    Not a bad effort that, I think he wanted Rodriguez to get to him but realised he had a better chance staying solo. As TWH said, not really sure he wanted to ride off the front but just thin it out.
