Tour de France *Spoilers*

[The Couch]

Yeah, sorry. The big one, anyway, whatever it's called.

Mount Everest?

Interesting to see who'll chase. Ag2r have two in the break but Peraud threatened in 6th. Netapp and Belkin aren't there though.

I am expecting Ag2r to ride tempo on the last climb anyway to potentially bring Tejay and Bardot in troubles (in the descent)

Mount Everest?

Wow, that is a long stage.

I don't know, there's always one show-off, isn't there. It's not big or clever, you know.

Liggett just said "some of these riders weigh in at 45 kilos".

I think he's confusing cyclists and jockeys.

Are you sure he's not watching the Prix d'Amerique?

He uses MPH and KMH interchangeably.

Very impressed with Kevin Reza. He's certainly not been riding like it's his first Grand Tour.

Haha, I was about to write that. The sad thing is, when I first got into cycling a few years ago I gained all my knowledge from these guys. I soon after learnt to completely forget everything they said.

If I'd got into cycling this year I'd have come away thinking Tommy V is German, Simon Yates is two years younger than brother Adam, and if I want to be a decent climber then I'll have to shed 50kgs.

It's not (he definitely rode the Tour last year as well, he actually had a top 10 on the Champs Elysees) - don't know if he rode anything else without asking Google

I have absolutely no recollection of that but I've just checked and you're entirely correct - according to procyclingstats.com, last year's TdF was his GT debut and he was indeed 7th on the Champs-Elysees. He was also 8th on stage 10 to St Malo.

I'm tired. That's my excuse.

 

[smutchin]

Rogers not riding like it's his second GT of the year...

You mean they actually weigh 45lb? Thats 3st 3!
