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 :)

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.:D

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!

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.

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

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.
