Are they going to let Alpecin cross the finish line hand in hand at the front? Will Quinn Simmons ruin the pity party by a last second sprint shouting "Facts Dont Care About Your Feelings!" Still lots of drama left for this epic stage 3!

Seems pretty obvious to me that the peloton has neutralized the stage (or this part at least) after the crash out of the green jersey. Wellens seemed to ask permission when he "attacked".

I don't think I've seen a bike race since Schleck dropped his chain and Contador subsequently dropped him. I haven't been serious about watching any racing since the aftermath of Landis in the 2006 tour and his "whiskey fueled" charge up the Joux-Plane. I was once a fan, but disgust with the...

I hate comparing rides and using VAM for anything but mountain time trials, but Froome's 5.9 today was not his maximum...obvious as the DS called him off when he dropped Wiggo.

Froome is not sticking to the script....fortunately the car calls him and reminds him he's supposed to look cracked so as not to draw too much attention...

I think you meant top 31.

I forgot I'd already given him props! I guess pure artistry sometimes deserves more than one acknowledgement. Here's my tinfoil hat theory: Race Radio and Polish are, indeed, the same person!

Polish, I've read alot of your work, and there was a time I thought you were like a fanboy on acid...but I really have come to recognize your brilliance. I think people are missing out should they have you on ignore. My thoughts are that perhaps the US Attorney General could appoint Lance and...

synthetic testosterone (for sure) and an elevated t/e ratio (i heard 20:1 but no confirmation on that) He was let off due to a "chain of custody" irregularity where the sample holder kept the sample in his home fridge for a day as fed-ex wasnt open on the saturday night when the sample was...

I think the 2 are far more alike than lovers on either side are apt to admit.

Cloxxki, I think you are 100 percent spot on. Good post. I was thinking the 800 or 1500, with the lowered fatigue, would suit him better. But honestly, i was sort of hoping he'd run sub 40 and throw a big wrench in the whole machinery, causing a s#%% storm of epic proportions!

I live in Golden and mountain biked up Apex to watch them "summit" lookout mountain....they should have made the circuit climb lookout 6 times...that would have been much better than the flat crap in downtown denver. edit: To 9000ft's post.... I agree, obviously tons of possibilities. With all...

this is exactly right people critical of Andy for not taking pulls on the Galibier are crazy. Sit on and if you have something left from yesterday, do it on the Alpe.

I have really despised Contador. I don't know why. Its not a Spanish thing as Indurain is probably my fave ever. Maybe its that, not unlike Armstrong, he has the edge. He's able to get away with things that others aren't....OP...Clen...beating freakin Canc in the ITT in 2009. I think he's...

No disagreement with anything you say save for the highlighted...Landis did test positive with an 11:1 t/e ratio if I'm not mistaken and therefore, most likely, on that particular day, had something the others didn't. Should AS test positive for anything after this stage, I'll eat crow and...
