Oh Christ. It's Kirby.

You need to internally embrace Carlton and his local knowledge. After a while, you will understand his greatness.

I wonder if Sky will have Froome on a leash for today or will he be free to do his Ventoux climbing?

 

[VeloHuman]

Moreno and some of the other fast men in GC contention should try to get in on the sprint today. What do they have to lose, and against this competition... maybe they pick up a bonus second or two. Not that they'll do it. Just a suggestion no one will heed.

Bunch finish today, 20 to 40 riders, it is pre-agreed.

TXURRUKA trying to bridge

Froome won't take any chances. He will only attack today if one of Contador of Quintana attacks.

I <3 Txurruka

 

[Ney the Viking]

Just got home, turned on eurosport, saw Txurruka alone *cheer* and then cut to commercials. How far are we and has anything happened?

 

[berkerstan]

Sky is really putting all their bet on Froome, they have no sprinters at all in the team lol

Unleash the dawg.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Would be nice to see Froome demolish each and everyone on this little hill. It doens't suit Contador fans to be hopefull
