Am I alone in thinking today's stage was as poor a GT stage there's been for years.

It didn't make for good viewing.

It definitely wasn't the worst I've seen.

Rodriguez and Zakarin both 1'22" down. Have Katusha given up on the GC already?

Rodriguez and Zakarin lost 0:00 time.

The way they post the times for the stage is tricky.

Let's agree to differ - it was 150km to long IMHO.

It was turgid at best. Dire would best describe it in my book.

YMMV of course,

*** I saw it for the 1st (had to leave with 40k to go) and it was freakin awesome!!!
One of the best sprints of the year.

I wonder if Kirby is secretly from Iceland and is currently commentating on their Euros

I enjoyed it. Over the top, yes, but it was heartfelt

There are several buttons on your remote that can help you: Power off, Channel +/-.

OMG, just watched (and heard) Kirby's last 2km! :surprised: :surprised:

Sean Kelly MUST have some kind of Kirby filter in his headphones - after that kirbygasm, he spoke as if nothing had just happened straight afterwards... I would have been laughing my head off! The most straight-faced commentator in the business, chapeau Sean for putting up with that and not batting an eyelid! How does he do it? :surprised: :lol:

Interesting to see that Froome was crossing the line all alone (place 25) with no teammates around him..First after him crossing the line was Henao on place 77. Comparing that to Quintana, crossing the line together with Oliveira and Valverde; Aru together with Grivko and Nibali; and Contador with Kiserlovski and Tosatto. Maybe it's because of the crashes, but still...
