Michael Rogers posted on Twitter that he and Richie Porte got booed by many Australians yesterday. Australian's don't boo other Australians unless they have taken a dislike to them for some reason.

I am not sure if it

1. They don't want to see the race won the way SKY is winning it and see MR and RP are the main contenders to the race being won this way as the domestiques.


Or 2 The other reason, which is forbidden to be talked about here which assists them in doing number 1 above.

I can see you aren't from the UK or Australia. Must win ignorant post of the week.

They said Degankolb had had a very busy spring and was too young to do the Tour, will ride the Vuelta as Worlds prep.

Kittel is only one year older than John, my sense is Kittle is going very very well before the tour so he wants his undisputed team leadership in the tour. But management should consider more options. Kittle is not selected for Olympics, is he going to ride Vuelta too?

Pleased to see this. Any rider doing this, and plenty try it on, deserves a slapped wrist. And now we know that he is being watched and that they are doing somethingabout it, we can all stop pointing the finger when one of his rivals cries wolf.

Stretching logic beyond being logical...

Boring stage

ASO's Boss thinks The Tour ain't hard enough neither! (Let's see if my self appointed english teacher corrects my sentence) *The statement I made to him privately may have scared him/her off

The sprint wasn't that bad. Goss moved and moved hard, but not very far. It looks bad as sagan was really close to him. Having said I watched it and thought for me he was 50 50 o get relegated, so I'm not surprised he was.
