Goss DQed and Sagan wins green jersey

 

[The Barb]

Phil "I am a judge"

Paul "you are a judge?"

Phil "I was, they retired me".

It seems Phil has trouble distinguishing present/past tenses. Perhaps that's why they retired you Phil.

This might give you a better insight into Wiggins

Yeah, didn't know he had his own sportif, can't let them down

Goss DQed and Sagan wins green jersey

What an incredibly stupid move by Goss...

 

[argyllflyer]

Wiggins will no doubt wish Millar kept his mouth shut!

Why do people keep bringing this up?

Sagan had good position but Goss went fast, may have won anyway. Shame we didn't get to see it.

And? Then Goss should not have made such a move.
Besides, Sagan is clearly better anyway. Goss is never going to win by the looks of it

 

[dlwssonic]

only lost 1 place in the end

Thats good then
Good job by the race officials.

and what Chris Froome did at the Vuelta. As that change has happened, my performances have gone up, and at the same time I've begun to work far harder than I did before.

Who knows? It was better than sagan winning the green jersey without a fight.
Goss is faster than sagan.
COULD become very close.

 

[Veritas]

Could someone describe whay Goss duf exactly? I probably wont be able to catch highlights today

How about the innovative training methods and all the sacrifices including missing his child's bday party

hooked sagan pretty badly

You snidely suggested Bradley was unhappy with anti-doping messages.

 

[will10]

I'm just going off what the ITV4 commentators said, haven't checked the official site yet. They said he'd been relegated to the back of the group, but some on here are saying Sagan will be promoted to 6th with Goss 7th which would be very unusual.

 

[Hotbrakes]

Where are all the Dutch riders?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Over 1,600 fewer stage posts sums up this crime against humanity.
Probably, the next three stages will serve up the same.

Well done Millar. Saved it up for today and looked just about the strongest in an ideal finish for him.
Garmin do well to salvage even this, from their Tour horribilis.

Goss? Given the recent history of green jersey dqs, I'm not surprised he's stage toast.

Sagan is clearly better? Good joke.

Wiggins has suffered minor burns to his arm because of a flare from a spectator.

Goos was only relagated one place because Sagan and Goss got a time gap.

So that suggests Goss has been relegated to the back of the group as expected, but they're classing Sagan and Goss as a group on their own Which is ridiculous.

It's not. They had a gap to the MJ group.
