Tour de France *Spoilers*

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Tailwind is insane

Jeezo, are we gonna drop the Lance thing?

BMC piling it on 44mph

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

50km to go, 1.45

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

25km to go, breakaway still at 1.45, it was allowed to climb to 2.09, but this must be the Peleton coming back now, surely!

Attrocious weather - shudda stayed in England

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Really chucking it down now, boy that sky was/is dark!!

 

[beastie]

Not to put a downer on the rising frenchies and some of the other but are we just seeing a bit of a mediocre scrap for placings because the top 4 or 5 riders in the world are so far ahead of the rest. With just nibbles of the 5 there and so far ahead of the rest we are focussing more on them than normal?

Who is the 5th of the top riders? Assume that Froome, Contador, Quintana and Nibali are top 4 then who is 5?

Yes, MDB - most of us are watching as well, so don't really need your updates, thank you.

Little flash of lightning there in the wonderful looking grey/blue sky behind!

I.... Wasps are goodies, Leicester are baddies ... and so on.

WHATT !!!! London Wasps? That team whose allegiance to London makes Froome look like a true Brit? Don't even have their own ground? Bunch of money-chasing pretty boys with glory-seekers as fans. I would love them to go through the "Championship" test as per Northampton, Harlequins, Newcastle, but fail.

 

[Dave Davenport]

Blimey! That was close!

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Those big boys are terrible spoilsports.

 

[Dayvo]

The Norwegian commentators have just had a combined orgasm (jingoism).
Good chase by the pack.

I did the time at 100, 50 and 25km, so what, what does it matter?? Really??

Yeah them. I formed an attachment to them when they were at Loftus Rd. They are still goodies despite being all the things you say. Such is the illogicality of following sport
