This picture really made me laugh last time when Quintana won so for those who might have missed it:

Meanwhile in Ryo's house:

Ryo is the guy on the bottom left, with the green and white cap.

 

[SKSemtex]

Is Cadence banned too? I miss him too. This make me think he comments only races with Sagan. Probably he went to spy on his training with Quinziato

This is the real Ryo

Shirtless guy on the left. Funny enough he seems to be shirtless most of the time on his FB

Yeah that really cracked me up too when it was initially posted!

Checked them all out did you?

Edit: is his friend trying to lick his nipple?

Hmmm he's hot. His friends seem to think so too.

All the joking aside on ryo, I did miss Lars Peter Nordhaug today, he was the man of last year's Pays Vasco. What happened to him?

Good to see Peraud again in the top 20.

i know the guy personally for almost 11 years

He left Sky and joined Rabo/Blanco. That's pretty much the worst career move you can make.

Ah so you're the guy in the middle.

 

[theyoungest]

Ah so you're the guy in the middle.

No, he's one of the world's best mountain bikers, Ruben Lampe.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ah so you're the guy in the middle.

No luckily not that personal. I've known him via a very old cycling manager forum since 2002, we have yearly meetings during AGR etc

 

[Taxus4a]

Nice final stage, but I think Henao must be disqualifyed for his last dangerous movement, but anyway difficult decission...

 

[katkotom]

I dont think that was intentional, they were both barely holding straight line by pushing those "big" gears...

 

[wwabbit]

So Henao in the leader's jersey...
Poll for stage 4 should be "How many km will Kiryienka be pulling the peloton?"

About 50

A pity, he won two years ago one of the Queen stages here... but must work this year...

 

[BillytheKid]

Just getting caught up on the replay. Henao was incredibly strong, but I afraid he's learn a trick or two from his mentor Froome on how to jab his bike to block. Gomez would have won the stage without that prank. Perhaps they should bring in a basketball zebra with a whistle to charge a foul and a time deduction. Sky wins no friends with that tactic. A cheap shot.

Definitely blocked him.

Nordhaug injured his knee in the winter, like all other new signing of Blanco/Rabo. When he was about to find his form again, he got the flu. He's been sick since M-SR and was ordered by the team doctor to take it easy here.

With all the problems he's had, I doubt we'll see him back at his best before late summer.

 

[liamito]

and keep on eye on Spilak for Fleche Wallonne, you heard it first

Simon won't appear in the Ardennes this year.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Very impressed with Jesús Herrada among others. Hope he can hold on to that good GC spot, he's a good time triallist.

 

[SafeBet]

Ulissi looking good again. He might turn a few heads come Giro time.

Indeed, although he might be peaking right now.

 

[JRanton]

Just reading the Saxo report on today's stage and it seems that Sky is not going to get much help to control the race tomorrow. Kiryienka will need to have a big day!
