Ferrari's VAM technique paying dividends. There's obviously a key ingredient that goes along with that technique.

Rogers dropping Samu. That's believable. :rolleyes:

You probably should have alleged doping before you predicted they'd all get dropped, it would be a stronger look.

I feel confident you'll all join with me in congratulating Mr. Bradley Wiggins on assuming the Maillot Jeune in the 2012 Tour de France.

All together now...

It's a bloody shame Froome lost time in the stage to Seraing because of a flat tire.

He would win the Tour if he didn't lose time there. I hope Froome manages to take it all in the end anyways. That be awesome.
Allthough i don't dislike Wiggins, but last year Froome could've won the Vuelta if he didn't have to work for Wiggins all day.

Awesome by Froome. Can't help the feeling he's the real talent in the Sky team. I can't really like Sky, they are too strong.
Hoping Nibali or Evans will win it at the end, or at least Froome.

I have never seen such an enormous nobody turn into one of cycling best riders... Wow. Repeat of the Vuelta last year?

Leipheimer dropped.
Sanchez dropped.
Menchov dropped.
Rolland dropped.

In a single stage!

What does this tell us?

All of them had a bad day, nothing else.
