Ugh Kirby already thinking Wiggins will win the tour, fml..

Sometimes you remind me of Bavarianrider in terms of how many times you make a fool out of yourself.

I think conditions aside there isn't a huge amount of difference between gesink and vdb on a long itt.

Maybe after 3 weeks we'll see something different but I think the better man will take in the mountains

he is terrible.

With the mountains coming up I don't think Wiggo will even top 5 the Dauphine.

Nice time Purito, only loses 4 minutes.

 

[goggalor]

Rodriguez top 60.

 

[The Hitch]

Not that bad from J Rod. At least hes in the top 60

If Wigo gets yellow, im afraid hes going to go full *** like his friend Henderson and say this race is bigger than the Giro, because its in France.

Jani was a little in front of the weather. Smile of the weather gods. It would have gone bad for him if it was very windy though.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rodriguez +3'54

aiaiai

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

jrod@ 3.54

who was who said they'd eat their (was it socks?) if he was within 5 minutes

 

[Parrulo]

purito losing 4 minutes.

he wants to win this so he will have to attack a lot. good for us

 

[The Hitch]

Damn, Evans beats Brajko.

 

[Ferminal]

Evans only loses 1'20"-1'30" to Wiggins

 

[El Pistolero]

Not that bad from J Rod. At least hes in the top 60

The Dutch Eurosport guys are saying Samu is past it as GC candidate and that he isn't the same anymore as 3 years ago.

Trump that!

Evans didn't take much time out of Roche once he caught him

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

decent time by evans

With the mountains coming up I don't think Wiggo will even top 5 the Dauphine.

they wont push too hard, he'll at least podium.

Martin wins

I tend to agree Timmy, it will all come down to peaking at the right moment. But personally I'm convinced Gesink is a much better rider.

 

[goggalor]

Martin wins.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Martin wins!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

How the hell can they call Roche's time a good effort?

 

[Ferminal]

Bad luck Kirby, idiot.

 

[Parrulo]

wigans doesn't beat martin but gets into yellow anyway

what was evan's time?

 

[Havetts]

Glad Martin won, otherwise Kirby wouldve gone ape****.

Well ,right now it looks like he'll be minutes ahead of the competition before the mountains. So if he got a decent shape Top 5 is realistic.

And Tony wins the stage! 11 Seconds ahead in the and.
