Re: Bennett will go for top 10 IMO.

Yip. Bennett is easily the first to go top 10. It will be exciting to see what he can do next season.

You can count out the French riders. They would have a chance if they focused on o the other races but none of them are good enough to win le tour. I went for Majka and Landa. Tom won't get another chance so good, I think.

Some people don't like that the Vuelta puts it all into the last climb but on stage 11, a great mountain stage, it came down to the last climb anyway. At the end of the day the Vuelta in the last few years has created a distinctive reputation for itself and has produced some fantastic racing. I...

George Bennett was 27th overall before today's stage with a highest finish of 21st.

The final climb on stage 16 is very crazy. I think that stage is going to create some big gaps between the contenders. It looks a good one for Quintana but should really catch those who have tired legs out.

If Quintana gains a minute today and another minute tomorrow then he will have no one to blame but himself and his team''s horrible tactics. If Quintana isn't in top form then he needs to look at himself and the way he prepares for big races. I hope Quintana can do something today but I feel...

I can't see how anyone can criticise Contador. He tried to do something unprecedented and it looks like he will fail to do that. Contador simply hasn't come to the tour in top form. He is still the best GT rider of his generation and whatever bad performances he puts in from here on in should...

Got to give some credit to Sky because their tactics have actually worked.

Nibali isn't normally great at the Dauphine but he should be fine on a category 2.

If you were Landa you would be leaving that team.

Didn't Astana just blow KoM by letting Aru win?

Kruijswijk deserves that jersey

Is Porte confirmed? I reckon he will skip again. Not much point in him riding if Froome is not going to be there.

In 2012 44.8% of people thought Van Garderen would win a GT. Now that is only 8% and he is still only 26. Thibault Pinot also got 46% in that year and despite coming 3rd in the tour his support has almost halved. It's not easy to predict these.
