puerto sufaces again! blood bags could be tested!
great stage yesterday
Not such a tight finish this time.
No, it's a stage win.
Cumming wins! Inflatable arch collapses!
What's the opposite of thrilling heroics? Coz that's what Pinot did today.
British politics?

Yes. But i was hoping you wouldn't notice.
I's just people on bikes. The most steroided up one wins. What's the interest? F1 is much better, it's all about the skill.
It's the Most Important Sport in the world.
It's the most highly waxed and shaved "sport" outside WWF.
Does anyone know where I can acquire steroids?

Cool.

So just need the moped rider, blood bags and prescription for cortisone and I'm bound to make it to Paris.
You need sunglasses too.

Oh.
That's what I thought Froome had when he was in that descending position.

Quote:
One issue was decided, however: Thibaut Pinot’s attempt to become the first Frenchman to win the Tour since Bernard Hinault in 1985 has come to an abrupt end. Having lost three minutes on Friday at Lac de Payolle, Pinot was visibly off form and opted to self-immolate in the midday sun rather than go gently. He valiantly led the race over the Tourmalet and the Hourquette, with Sky keeping tabs on him at a distance after which he was reeled in and emphatically dumped.
Pinot's fallen off already.
Bunch has split. Three guesses as to which side Pinot(+15 mins) is on....
Is Pinot egregious?

Is he a Shark or a Jet?

Put a cork in it
Clearly a Jet. Shark failed at Gladiator auditions.
Yesterday's move by Froome to go with Sagan was absolutely amazing. Superb call. I thought Thomas was going to be dropped, too. I think Sagan did a double take when he glanced over to see a yellow clad rider by him, then again when Froome said they'd work together.
I think Froome has played this very well, on the assumption that he has enough left to follow any break on Ventoux. The time trial afterwards could be key, and is usually where he excels.

Yes. He's appeared to try and snatch seconds here and there. Quite why Nairo was not at the front and so isolated is Valverde's guess
I wonder if Froome had got the message that the top of Ventoux was off today, so he realised that making the break would have limited impact on today and hoped (correctly) that Quintana didn't get the memo.
Oh. Fuckballs. Pinot's being dropped. Already
Aaatghhhhh! 90 secs behind peleton.
Poor Pinot. I'll be climbing 1000ft next Thursday too. (Over 60 miles though)
Holy wow! Craziness ensues! Cannot wait to watch this!
Run froomey run!

And our Koeman.has.been screwed.over by the jury.
The decisions do seem to be more equal to some than others
something needs to be done about the fans.

Aww. Let Mali have his fun.
Pinot has gotten The Poorlies and withdrawn!
