    Podium behaviour poll

    No, No, Sagan should not be crucified over this. He seemed sincerely apologetic; not sure the flowers were necessary but hey, I am sure he'll improve as a professional off the bike as well as on. He seems sincerely to love riding his bike and there is joy in his performances. I like his...

    Podium behaviour poll

    Who has/hasn't reached their peak?

    oh facepalm! for a moment there i was enraptured in the dream of Cavendish on a mountain top finish only 2 minutes behind Contador. LOL you mean itt. that 2 minute man. oh well, i like my version of your dream: Cav on the queen stage only 2 minutes off the GC contenders!
