Le Corbusier - a guy who believed in function over form, so designed homes which were ****ing horrible to live in.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Why not? Is he so strong in the TT, that he wouldn't need to make any time gap on Bradley and Cadel here?

His objective is not to win the tour. He will only attack them should they show signs of weakness. He is aiming for a podium spot as ultimate goal.

The peloton is flying.

Paul: "it's been a very hard day for Andre Greipel."

No s-h-i-t.

P&P are the only commentators who talk about the sprinters in a mountain stage.

lololololol

 

[Fight.The.Power]

If Sagan wins - WTF !!

Surely there is no chance !

 

[the asian]

Harmon is going to eat his hat if Sagan wins today

 

[Trunnions]

Bernie is a troll.

He's on my (growing) ignore list now

 

[HL2037]

Go Garmin! Laughing in the face of adversity.

He'd struggle to be much less Irish than Dan Martin.

Dan Martin speaking this week, '“I have always felt Irish. We used to spend our summer holidays in Ireland,” he said. “I came over here at least once a year and also raced here, winning the Gorey three-day plus a stage of the Junior Tour.

“I never felt British, never felt comfortable in that situation. ''

Fireworks to come, a mix of Hautacam 96 and Schlucht 2005!

 

[happytramp]

Is it my imagination or Is Kelly bordering on being talkative and friendly today?

 

[Gloin22]

I don't care about your opinion. Just don't talk about the race, the results or what not.

The race is suspended though. It's raining as hell.

That would be more form over function.... which is borne out in his designs.

Yes, I'm pointing out the guy failed badly.

Let me guess. You prefer Prince Charles endorsed twee faux pastoral suburban villages. And you splutter about how a child could have done it when confronted with abstract art.

Looks like the 15K flag was the agreed location for the autobus to start

 

[The Chicken]

I reckon I could drop Cavendish, the little fatty

Harmon is going to eat his hat if Sagan wins today

Kirby still droning on with his Nibali hate

 

[maxmartin]

Yes, but they said Top 5.

Which for me is realstic thing to say, no ?

Also they said he's amazing descender and will gain time in those downhill finishes.

they also said wiggins is a very good descender, although Nibali is the best. They did not say Nibali would gain time only said Nibali is willing to take risk.

 

[TheEnoculator]

I bet my money that Garmin's strategy will be all for naught.

I think VDB will take it.

 

[Poursuivant]

Lol was thinking the same.

 

[maxmartin]

Kirby still droning on with his Nibali hate

yes he is even bring Sagan out

Yes, people who don't like high rise hell holes are all philistines;as is anyone who questions the artistic merit of anything created in the last 80 years.

It looked like something that devil would design.

No Philistine talk in the race thread. It's in the TOS.

Speaking of which, this stage isn't turning out anything like I expected. I like it!

Im thinking that too
