What motivates you to make a post like that if not to imply that you think Porte is clean?

I wrote about my discussion with a rider as I thought some here might find it interesting. You decided to lie about what I wrote in order to troll. Some might call that

Relax, Jimmy, relax!

You know it's TUEsday tomorrow and a rest day, medical miracles will happen in hotel rooms in France.

Porte's eyes will be bunging out if his head come Wednesday.

Brailsford is probably thinking - should we? Should we not? If Porte grows wings it would be fairly obvious. I said he's at TVG. If he becomes Mandone '13 then even Walsh might blush.

Bit of a quandry for Brailsfraud, is he asking Porte to lay off a bit? If he took yellow today and kept it for the rest of the tour it would be a huge red flashing light. 2nd or 3rd but no higher?

Porte was 50/1 the evening before Froome pulled out. I think it was a wise each way bet :D

A Podium would also line him up for the Leaders number next year when Dawg is cut adrift.

You just know Nibali will crash and Porte will win. It has to happen.

Maybe Nibali could test positive? He is already very suspect in bot-land so this would come as a surprise to no one. Then Porte could cruise to victory.

Porte rode stronger in 2013. Waiting for him to unleash.

He also didn't have almost the entire season out with illness leading up to the Tour. I would expect him to be under the levels he was achieving last year, since his training must have been affected.
