A snide little remark for Froome?

"Having a little coffee in the middle of training. How good it's after 3 intense hours. Tinkoff Saxo"

Ordinarily I would say no, but Jesus actually responded to one of Alberto's tweets a few days ago about light training, noting that they also stopped for coffee. So yeah, they are tweaking Froome's nose.

there will be no Tour for Tosso and Rory according to Veloropa on Twitter. List include 6 sure guys and 5 maybes. The6: Bert, Jesus, Rogers, Paulinho, Kreuziger and Roche. The 5: Benna, Matti, Mørkøv, Nicky and Pires

I think Rory would have made the team if he hadnt crashed in DL and had been able to help Berto better. Benna shows great form. He will be there. Nicky would be a good pick if he could find his form from the spring but he was bleak in DL. Mørkøv and Matti will have to fight for one spot. Pires and Nicki for the other, and Benna will get the 3rd imo.

 

[LaFlorecita]

NO Toso????

If they take Pires.... They better take Matti and Benna at least.

God damn it. Stupid team.

If Toso isnt in form it makes no sense really. He has been strugling with injuries and illness all year.

Will be very surprised if they end up picking Pires

 

[T-Nielsen]

Damn... No Tosso is a great blow to the team. He and Benna strong-armed it on the flats last year.

The piece says those six riders are 'probably secure'. So not confirmed.

Decent performances by Roche and Rogers in the first hill top finish in Rut de Sud

 

[murali]

tomorrow's stage will tell.

 

[inthepink]

Well that's it ...Roche couldn't beat Valverde & Bouhanni in the sprint....gotta leave him out of the Tour team now ....send him home immediately ...I mean what's the point if he can't beat Bouhanni in a sprint ..call himself an all rounder

Oh come on, no one is saying that

 

[murali]

Bouhani had a great race. he managed to be part of the 32 riders who finished 6" down. There were 5 TCS in the grp.

Credit where credit is due.

I know but I couldn't help it

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

I just realized, imagine AC winning this years tour, and do the giro/Vuelta double next year. AC vs Aru in the giro will be immense. New W/kg records every day

Your not dreaming hard enough. Imagine AC winning this years Tour AND Vuelta and continuing on next year winning the Giro and Vuelta.

Sky loosing Henao gives some hope to Tinkoff-Saxo at the climbs.

Yeah I think Sky gets stronger (snicker) with Wiggins (giggle) over Henao in the mountains (roflmao)
