Re:

What's up with the timing? None of BMC finished when that time came up on screen...

Someone on my twitter noticed that too, hope the time's wrong

 

[bajbar]

They stop the time just at the corner for every team.

As a Spaniard I want to apologise again for the image given by today's stage. I hope this gets over quickly and we can get to talk about the Caminito del Rey!

Why did they not make this an individual prologue? Would've been fine for that.
Logistical problems, or they just didn't want to punish JRod?

I was of the same opinion, but talking about this possibility in another forum, they told me that the possibility of having cars and motos passing 198 times through the albero "sand" (instead of 22) may have have concerned the organisation because it could deteriorate it.

Re:

What was that Etixx shouting in the finish about?

Just Terpstra being Terpstra.

Ah. Good point - I hadn't thought of that.

 

[Carols]

Who led BMC over?

 

[Miburo]

And terpstra proves again he's a douche.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Is the climb tomorrow too long for Sagan?

 

[Beech Mtn]

Well I'm disappointed. Froome isn't wearing his sandshoes today.

Re:

Velits

 

[jsem94]

Vroom dropping on purpose?

 

[Gigs_98]

I just notice that Quintana drove over the line first, does that mean, that if he Movi had won the TTT they wanted Quintana in the lead? That surprises me

Re:

He hasn't dropped.

 

[KyoGrey]

Re:

Yes, it is a climby puncher/punchy climber terrain.

I don't think they ever thought about winning.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Carlton has never heard of the idea of the commentator attempting to be at least somewhat objective.

Re: Re:

Velits

Guess he's in Red!

 

[Jagartrott]

What a sorry 'spectacle'.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Why is Sagan still sitting in the hot seat tent with BMC?

 

[Jspear]

Yep....a very underwhelming stage. It should all change very soon...the field here is very good.

 

[Carols]

Well I get excited by just about any GT start, but this one has been a bit dull......

Re:

He wants to photobomb the podium.

 

[Jspear]

Well I'd post the top 10 results, but it means nothing - there's no point!

He must be getting best young rider jersey, I guess
