I definitely think he could podium at some point in the future, a tour with a longish flat TT and he would take a bucket of time on a lot of riders.

Given the different aspects of a tour, I think punishments should be relevant to the rider. I know it will never happen, and little advantage or not the act really annoyed me.

Anyone know when the Majka punishment should be announced? I'm resigned to it being time, and its the most token thing ever. Everybody knows that he doesnt care about GC, so there is no punishment at all. I'd say a 5-10 point deduction should be done...some people will think its harsh but if...

Got 14/1 on Zubeldia to finish in the top 10, yesterday My thinking is of the people above him theres 4 domestiques, Gallopin, Rui Costa has looked weak, not sure if Horner will be given freedom/has the stamina, Kwia has been wasting alot of energy on unsuccessful attacks and should fade. So...

Lotto have a stage win and a day in yellow. Greipel has disappointed ouside of the win(kind of an oxymoron but hes been anonymous in other sprints) and JVDB is further back than they would have wanted. But that day in yellow, on Bastille day completely outweighs those things imo, Van Den Broek...

Im pretty sure if Voekler used all he energy he puts into pulling those faces into riding he'd be a multiple GT winner Griepel taking over

Kwiat isnt good enough to make Saxo, Astana, Movi or Sky chase, but I could see Lotto, Garmin and BMC not wanting him to get too far for the minor placings.

Hoping thats Purito attacking to get in the break.

Last year we also had this nice forearm smash

Froome didn't really push AC this year though, that would imply Contador puts up a fight where as he actually just gets dropped Andy vs Froome would be interesting though, Andy likes it when the day is as hard as possible where as Froome excels when it is all down to the last mountain...could...

I had one stage where although I was leading the Giro (by about 20 seconds, Quintana vs Nibali) I sent Stybar (custom team) up the road in a 3 man break and just had a token rider helping the front, none of the teams cared and they won by 30 minutes, it ment stybar went into 2nd...just ridiculous

Quintana himself however would be better known even from the "only watch TDF" crowd...he was pretty hard to miss this year

That must be heartbreaking

I wish they would do it so that the last 1km is slowed down to normal speed, so annoying having to set of a sprint between 1-1.5km. I got 2013 the other day, its not bad but struggling with sprints both setting lead outs up and also finding myself boxed in from 5km onwards so sometimes i dont...

Because of how Alberto made people think he would destroy the final week but actually did nothin?
