Alberto Fishwick said:There is now a separate Twitter account where his fans (so there must be some) post what they consider to be his best bons mots. This can only serve to increase his belief that he is doing a good job.
The prospect of listening to him for three weeks during the Tour fills me with increasing dread but it's the only way to hear King Kelly's contribution. Rob Hatch is doing BBC radio, I believe.

I read that a few days ago, he said "Contador deserves worshipping" (typical hyperbole KirbyHelloDolly said:People he gives no love to at all
Valverde
Contador
Richie Porte
Any no British SKY rider
Anyone over 34

Strange that both kirby and STEPHENS discussed all possible contenders for the sprint - Effectively mentioning at least one rider from each team - But it's all Kirby's fault.

I watched it on Eurosport player, Kirby saw the top 10 GC, read out Contador, Froome and Porte, and then commented that Alaphilippe's time was a bit too close to Contador based on his and Stephens' calculations (clearly only accounting for the 6 bonus secs and not the additional 9 split secs). He briefly mentioned there must have been a split, but that the committee would probably revoke it so it didn't matter. So he saw the top 10 but as I said before, failed to identify Contador as having been caught out in the split, failed to notice Froome and Porte swapping places, failed to notice the new smaller time between 1st and 2nd place, and only made a comment about Alaphilippe's time, because he's so besotted with him.
