[Trunnions]

Shack working well for Sky, they've now pulled the break back to 3 minutes.
120km to go.

omg, Lampre rider almost piled head on into road furniture

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Just like when Wiggins attacks with his whole team doing a TTT for the rest of the stage, right?.

Why would he do that when he doesnt want yellow so early on?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

this yellow helmet crap is bs.

 

[ChewbaccaD]

cocaine cocaine cocaine

see,it's not that hard

She don't lie..

 

[Gloin22]

ASO what have you done to Sky ?

Lol.

 

[Mellow Velo]

this yellow helmet crap is bs.

Personally, I think that yellow shorts to "compliment" the maillot jeune takes some beating in the pug ugly stakes.

Tony Martin is not a happy bunny.

Eric Clapton, nice

 

[the asian]

Martin is really having some problems this tour.

 

[Trunnions]

Why would he do that when he doesnt want yellow so early on?

He said after the Prologue that he would have taken Yellow if it had come to him. He did want it. Brails tried to make out they didn't want it and BW said otherwise.

But clearly it has worked out better this way.
Shack towing Sky to glory.

full kits are terrible, but the full polka takes the cake.

 

[Lexman]

Now the ticker says both Morkov and Edet have 1 point, no mention of Urtasun... weird.

there was some confusion about it and the jury took it's time to decide ;-)

Outrageous Teenage Acne!

I think yellow helmets for the team classification is a stupid idea.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Yates -

“It’s suitable for ‘Eddie’ and we’d like him to have a go but there are other things to consider: mainly keeping Bradley out of trouble but also allowing ‘Cav’ to fight for positioning.”

So I'm guessing Cav will be in Eddy's wheel, with a faint presumption he gets dropped at some point, but he can go for it if he survives.

Because in the good old days they didn't think, they'd just go berserk! In the very old days they didn't even have teams. Wiggo should go on an win this on his own!

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Hopefully Samu and Frank will have a go on the next category 4, try and make up some of the time they are going to lose in the time trials. That would have happened in the good old days.

I would love to see this. But on a category 4 climb, he wouldn't get far.

I think it's better to hope Samu and Frank attack in the bigger mountains the way AC and AS did last year. That would be great to see, and like the good old days.

 

[jsem94]

Boring as it always is. I'll probably get back to the stage in two hours.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Wow, sky is so classles it's not ven funny. What a disgrace for the Tour.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

as long as they dont wait until the last 2 mountain stages again I'm fine with this.
God I hope the actually attempt to utilize the terrain this addition..

 

[Ripper]

Tour fail for the yellow helmets

Ya ... what's up with those? Is there a reason?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Someone should really tell Fabian he hasn't earned the right to wear the prestigious Yellow Helmet.

 

[Carstenbf]

Dark Lord Morkov strikes again!

 

[Ripper]

Ya ... what's up with those? Is there a reason?

Dod ... it's for best team isn't it? That is pretty lame.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

Ya ... what's up with those? Is there a reason?

they are for leaders of the team class... why there's so dang many of em
