[Hugo Koblet]

Estimated time of arrival today?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Lotto, Greenedge & Argos doing Sky's work for them?

Lotto, Greenedge & Argos doing Sky's work for them?

Sky's work? Sky's priority is the yellow jersey and the 3 teams you named have no chance for it.

 

[maltiv]

What a fighter Roux is. His hand is hurting so much that he can't keep it on the handlebars on the cobbles, yet he's in today's breakaway.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Impressive hill that was.

Morkov to win Tourmalet!

 

[Red Rick]

Nice crowd for a cat 4

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

What a waste of this wonderful little climb.

When will the ASO learn that placing the last climb of the day so far from the finish reduces the chances of the big guns attacking?

 

[Frosty]

A break for din-dins, bit of time to let the stomach settle, and then the chase will crank up a few gears.

But I distinctly remember people saying Sky would be forced to work for Cav if they wanted sprint stages.

Very strange.

Morkov to win Tourmalet!

Yea, when you put it in at the middle of a stage, everyone gets a shot. Horrible. I would have thought they would have learned their lesson about this exact thing 2 or 3 years ago (3 I think). One of the single worst stages I have ever watched. I expect a similar feeling on this year's stage...

17.10 cest

 

[Trunnions]

Lotto mean business.

He's ugly, and German, but my head says Greipel will beat Cav today fair and square-headed.

 

[Pippo_San]

The moment I looked at Cyclingnews stage profile on the live coverage I literally laughed my *** off!

You guys should do something about this issue, everytime it looks like they're doing a Liege-Bastogne-Liege...

Morkov to win Tourmalet!

No, come oooon! Where'd he keep that thing?

 

[Fetisoff]

Morkov = new Johny Hoogerland

P.S. Nice history lesson. Eurosport history channel lol

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Morkov = new Johny Hoogerland

Maybe when he gets 5th in a prestigeous one week stage race, 5th in a monument and 12th in a GT he'll be the new Johnny Hoogerland.

 

[Fowsto Cope-E]

Morkov = new Johny Hoogerland

Damn, just one Tour and Hoogerland is already replaced?

 

[theyoungest]

I hope for his sake he won't be the new Johnny Hoogerland, as far as the Tour is concerned.

Morkov to win Tourmalet!

For those who like cycling trivia. Did you know: Michael Morkov was the winner of Quebec Challenge Sprint 2011?

 

[roundabout]

It's a bit weird to see a sprint stage where the team of Cavendish isn't doing the chasing.

 

[happychappy]

GOD Phil Ligget is a stupid piece of ****.
