Tour de France *Spoilers*

Yeah, Bauer said he just didn't have anything in his legs for the last 50m, so would have been caught anyway.

Great finish, though !

Glad Yates has been pulled - shows OGE are thinking about the long term, it was probably the plan from the very start. It's been a demanding grand tour, and the third week is where the damage really sets in. Rest him now and he can have a great second half to the season. Push him and he'll be fecked and head into the winter overtrained and worn down, which will have implications for 2015. Hopefully we'll see both twins in more protour week long stage races throughout 2015. In terms of grand tours, I imagine they'll be on a 2 week diet for another year yet, aiming to complete a grand tour in 2016, then start to look at becoming competitive. They have 10 years + to win a GT, no rush.

Just to clarify in the context of the above post, GT means Grand Tour not Geriant Thomas. Winning a Geriant Thomas is something I believe to be beyond the ability of the Yates twins.

Simply text "G" to 12345 to win a top of the range Sky domestique. The Geraint Thomas comes with cheeky Welsh accent and even works with broken pelvis.

Whereas G&T is something even us modest cyclists can enjoy.

Don't forget the lime in the bidon

Cucumber.

Dear god why not throw in an entire caesar salad whilst you're at it!

And of course we want the breakaway to win whereas Bauer wants Bauer to win and Elmiger wants Elmiger to win.

Great example of Game Theory in action.

Order a Hendrick's and try it.

Don't, it's horrible.

Sheltering from the rain (what do you mean, 'it's stopped raining'?).

Interesting, if brief, interview with Bassons on the ITV4 rest day programme...

Yep, just saw that. I liked the comments after the Vinokourov interview too.

Yes, very dry!

I really enjoyed the interview with Daniel thing, the French commentator. I do enjoy hearing all the French in different accents.

Great rest day "highlights" show.

I LOLed at Imlach after the Vino interview.
