TS has been using vest since last year tour. It was a request for Bjarne to Sportful i think. I remember they tweeted on it, and I made a comment on that.

I agree about Porte, but the fact that you say this, with that username made me

At what odds? I have some money on Betancur at odds 81 so I hope the break holds

At 5.00. You made an each-way bet? Then Zakarin 1 and Betancur 2 would be good for us

No, I didn't see much value on an each way bet on Betancur. I have a few other bets (e/w): Danielson (126) who's also in the break and Amador (101),

Props to the 3 up front I'd have thought they would of been caught but riding well. Can they maintain form going up? Is Carlos getting a stage win today?!

 

[Carols]

Astana massing....

Yeah! Unfortunate choice of user name unless I'm texting while riding

Betancur seems to be really going for it, he might blow up on the climb because of it.

Took them long enough

 

[mrhender]

Niemiec looks really good and focused... I think he takes the stage today..

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Come on lads. Give us some fireworks!

Re: Re:

Agreed. I'd be curious to hear why they didn't try to make this stage harder.
