Now ofcourse Porte will beat Nibali in a 2 man sprint and the friendship will be over.

Yeah I know. But botd is such a cliché sometimes. Although I do like Romanias jersey.These guys in the break aren't hoping to win. Best case scenario is get some exposure.
Did they start already? I have not even got out bed yet.
Americans with their imperial unitsSo time to dos some chores and check back in in 150k's time? Especially if the weather is merely chilly.
The fact that Richie punctured at a a bad time in the Tour and lost time in the crosswinds and still podiumed in the Tour means the Gods are going easy on him now. I think some of the former Richie curse has landed on Dayer Quintana and Sivakov ! Oddly Matthews sounds reasonably confident, hopefully Richie can help him unless he decides to win himself of course.................the nappy changing can wait for another day. Watch out for the old guy Valverde, might be the old guys podium.The monkey is off the back, and the rains are here.

Know a better way to mark the discontinuum?Americans with their imperial units
Cycling fans casually using kilometers as units of time.
It's odd, the last few years they showed all of the races live even the juniors. This year nothing.evidently the UCI stream is not working on Tube.

Chateau helishots is the standard unit of time at the Tour.Gels consumed?
If this was Le Tour you could probably measure by a fairly predictable count of unnecessarily long shots of French riders though you'd need to modify for breakaway participants and the Alaphillipe time distortion constant...
You're a ghost!Chateau helishots is the standard unit of time at the Tour.

Chris Boardman comes across as a cheery enough guy who's contractually obligated to not be happy.Warning: any British viewer will have to catch 30 seconds of the Andrew Marr show when pressing the red button for the cycling.
Never have I lusted so considerably for the mildly annoyed librarian that is Chris Boardman.
