Re: Re: Rossetto had to abandon the Vuelta after his crash and Sicard beat Le Bon comfortably in the French nationals.

Re: Bardet would beg to differ!

Good effort from Sicard, 4th overall. And Quintana up in seventh at the second time check, 50 seconds down.

Jungels to Etixx confirmed.

Is Kirby ever going to stop talking about Atapuma?? It's over, he's not going to win the stage, just let it go now.

Re: Re: He must have some money on him today and for the overall. Any time Kirby has a bet on someone, we hear about them all stage, regardless of how the rider is getting on.

He said "Porco Dio". Didn't realise he speaks Italian. It's not a very nice expression!

And supposedly so is Pierre Rolland. Would certainly fill the void left by Hesjedal and Martin.

Re: Re: Coquard apparently is in talks with Etixx. Would be an interesting combination with Gaviria.

Re: Reichenbach confirmed to FDJ. Some nice support for Pinot building up in the mountains. Now they need to ensure they are a little stronger in the first week.

Re: Re: Except the last time he and Aru faced off in a GT, Valverde beat him, fairly comfortably, whereas Pinot has beaten Piti in a GT.

Re: Re: He's applied for a WT licence. But from a financial point of view, it seems unlikely.

Re: Her 1500m swim was ridiculous. Her split at 800m would have beaten every other swimmer in history, including those in the shiny suits. She's not as versatile as Phelps in terms of number of strokes she swims, but she's on course to be the greatest freestyler ever, she's not far off already...

Re: Bernaudeau is hoping for a budget of €5-6m. Would they have enough to bring in Cav and still put together a competitive team?

Re: Re: Bernaudeau didn't actually say 'big name' though. He said he was in contact with a rider who would 'subsantially strengthen the team'. Not sure whether Eisel really fits that bill, but I'd be surprised if he was referring to Cav. Firstly for financial reasons, and I also can't imagine...
