ALT - J ... An Awesome Wave

You can post here if you have an opinion.

It was the kind of day the Tour will always throw up .. and there will be more of the same. Froome didn't need to chase today but others did and they were found wanting. The last week is really really tough and there is no way that everyone is going to survive. Exciting times.

Yes ... it's both understandable and tiresome. It's tough to keep on top of a live thread ... like one for a specific stage while racing is going on ... but I think we are not doing a bad job of removing and more importantly warning folk that maybe don't know the rules. We'll keep trying.

BUT it shows how fragile some of the positions that people are taking for granted can be ... the race is far from over.

So many people are motivated by status ... having significance with respect to others ... that in itself is not a bad thing. The questions of people taking advantage of others through the way they use their influence is a different thing. I do not subscribe to the popular perception that...

Like you guys I have been here since the start and it may not be everything you would want it to be but the moderation is not that bad! I am curious - why do you think the volunteer admin give up their time to do the job?

Someone more tec savvy than I may be able to find the two previous threads that covered (and researched) this. If I remember correctly every explanation for the different arrangements proved bogus - including any claims about safety. In other words it's really just personal preference. I...

I agree... the shop should take more responsibility.

The frame cracked!? - There is no way that the derailleur going into the spokes cracked the frame ... it is much more likely that the frame cracked first and that's what caused the derailleur to be out of alignment and get caught up in the spokes. Do you remember riding over a bump or a pot hole...

Would you care to bet on that? ;) There is no way that all the jerseys are decided.

I get why people want or like to use "made up" names ... but I have a feeling that we might have a more civil forum if people were prepared to openly share their identity ... and there are some people who have legitimate reasons for wanting to remain anonymous. Not me ... happy to share who I...

The Tour has a long way to go ... it is unlikely that everyone is going to make it through the next couple of weeks ... a lot still has to go right for Froome to take this without incident. I for one will be glued to the TV and interested in what other teams will throw at the race ... they...

Wow. People really think the Tour is over? There is a lot of racing to do and nature of the last week will mean that anyone could have a really bad day or even a couple of bad days. There is plenty more drama ahead - stay tuned!

This does not seem like an appropriate way of expressing an opinion. If you have a specific point to make please make it in one of the existing threads.
