i'm not sure I agree with this. value on Quintana at 33s - think you're looking at a place bet of 8/1 more than likely and then seeing if there are 3 others who can beat him ? with the current crop contesting, I'd have 5 or 6 of them ahead of him so you're hoping for some bad luck among the...

good morning cycling fans. I'll have my picks up on the wheeliebets website at 5.30 GMT if anyone is looking :-) I am like a kid on Christmas Eve, why do I never get tired of this, I'm a 35 year old man! Love this race, dry and windy conditions expected. Boonen to blow the race apart on...

great finish by Bouhanni, I underestimated the young lad's strength after a tough 6 days. Goss some sort of redemption. Don't know what happened to Gallopin or Degenkolb.

Although hang on, i'll take it back. do the maths based on the profile looks about 500 meters long and starts at just about 25 metres to 75 so a difference of 50... so for arguments sake, 500 metres at 10% but with 3 kilometers thereafter to go. fast moving peleton will counteract...

I have bigger nipples than that climb.

i think if you go back through all my posts on Froome, you'll not find one reference to me saying he is destined for domination. I did say that in relation to what he could do with a full winter of training with Kerrison, then he had the potential to do a hell of a lot. And remember this was...

general air of devilry on this forum glad I missed it today Impressive by Froome. All the work he'had been doing with Cavendish last year paid off :D Posing a question now for all the Contador heads. Will Alberto turn into everyone's Little Spartacus ? Attack and attack and always come...

sorry, i meant live on eurosport. i watched it on a live stream from portugal.

LOL, You men you're all copping on now?! Call me Brian Clough "We talk about it for 20 minutes and then we decide I was right' - On dealing with players in general who disagree with him.

it is. but how long was that virus in his system for? he was very poor in Tirreno last year.

in the betting section Sam. i put it there.

hardly carried away. i pointed to the fact that he is directly working with Kerrison now. Everything Kerrison did with Wiggins was to win every event he entered into, To peak for the race itself. I pointed to his potential from previous races, grand tours etc and it's all there. Plus...

The Froome badnwagon has started!! Where was everyone 2 hours back when I was putting out fires everywhere on his behalf ? :D The potential of Froome was never in question but let's not get too carried away with just today's win. Good to see him in form on a tough climb. One of the posters...

An Irish flag on the left ?!

this would seem accurate now I wonder has Froome practiced his downhilling over the winter months ?! Can imagine Nibali giving it a go if it got hairy. Those gaps are too large though.
