Tour of Turkey = Veloimages. Love it.
Go Kittel.Contador is the Greatest0 -
Kittel afterwards said he didn’t think Greipel would contest the sprint because Greipel’s grandmother died the night before.
I wonder what happened to the bananas Kittel got given, there must have been at least 10 kilos weight.0 -

Today's stage looks like 150km of coast road. Another one for the sprinters then?0

Yeah, I'll give Kirby a pass for that clip, otherwise i'm in the 'dislike' camp.
Spose I'll have to watch this cr*p race as it seems Sky have Romandie
(whoever said Eurosport had more racing coverage this year is having me on)
Whole Sky v Eurosport coverage thing is doing my nut, Sky can go f*ck itself if they thing i'm going to cave in and pay their silly prices. (I probably will when they secure every other race )0 -
That's one of the biggest crashes I have ever seen.0
-
Massive crash at the front of the sprint! Renshaw in the train caught out there.0
-
Holy moly! That was massive!
The guys reckon it was Renshaw catching a wheel?0 -
Huge crash. Blanco finally look like doing a perfect leadout for Bos, and Renshaw clips Davis' wheel.
Probably my imagination, but it seems sprints have been incredibly messy all year.
Brown I mean, not Davis.0 -
Bos looks to be in a bad way.
Kruopis took the win. Greipel made it through for GC. Kittel back on the bike.0 -

Think it was Brown's wheel he clipped?
Dunno, we were all saying how messy the sprints were last year. Its since the demise of HTC...0 -

Yeah, that's at least the 9 billionth time I've got Davis and Brown mixed up.
I think it's more and more teams bringing trains, and the battles are starting earlier and earlier.0 -
Commentary team kept saying that the pace was not fast enough to avoid it getting messy.0

What a pile-up. Amazing that so many can hop right back on.
Also the lack of spectators behind that fence prevented that from being super-nasty....a rare 100% loyal Pro Race poster. A poster boy for the community.0 -

HTC always keep the pace so high, and bossed it from far out...and all the other teams knew they'd be doing it0 -

Suspected collarbone breaks for Renshaw and Bos (both Blanco) and for Vangenechten (Lotto).
Kittel seemingly hurt
while Mustafa Sayer kept the mountain jersey.

Lady on the right is so excited because she thinks she just met Sean Penn. Lady on the left is smirking because she just told lady on right that she was about to meet Sean Penn. Catfight 5 minutes later in podium girl's trailer. Fake Sean Penn approves.0
