Tour de France *Spoilers*

[montage]

There have been some great days of racing and fantastic feats, but in terms of the GC this tour is farked up. Unfortunately for nibbles the question of whether he won this tour via default will always be asked, much as with the 2013 giro.


The organisers of the Vuelta must be licking their lips in anticipation of the showdown that awaits us!

Nibali then. See you at the Vuelta.

Feels like a bit of an anti-climax now doesn't it?

Porte at 10=1 now looks very generous

Not see it yet, just caught up with the not very live text updates when I got home.

If the rest of the stages are like that one (though preferably without the chutes) it'll be a great tour even if His Nibbles does win. Not sure it looks that much of a foregone conclusion though.

It should be better with the favourites out, more people will think they can have a go at GC and it'll be no easy task for Team Evil to keep Nibali at the top. Should be en exciting 2 weeks.

Especially with stage 11 looking primed for the climbing skills of Tony Martin

Where did the story of the broken bike come from then?

Apparently it was someone else's bike.

I heard something about one falling off the team car.

This post from @Twizit quotes the live feed on the letour.fr site

Tinkoff-Saxo's directeur sportif Philippe Mauduit ..."According to some rumors, his bike has been broken but that's not the case. A bike fell from our racks after we fixed Nicolas Roche's bike"

Just seen a twitter feed of the broken bike with No31 on it. Down tube snapped in half, and stays ripped from seat tube.
