Aw, did you all see Wiggins spinning up that climb? Such high cadence ****ing we haven't seen since 2005.


****!

Seriously. You see the complete and total lack of expression on Wiggo's face as he followed Cadel sprinting up to the line?

I was joking but you know what….. I’m not sure I can be bothered watching the Tour anymore. Its lacks total interest from a pure racing perspective and when you know the results there’s no point. Alas I don’t think anyone really cares. The winner has be determined and the local press to the winner is not going to question how it was won.

Sad to say but I actually wish Bruyneel got his hands on Andy Shleck good and proper and gave him the full program Ferrari style. Could have made for a good Tour.

I also officially want Contador to come back on the biggest program possible. I want him to have a free reign on the gear.

Yeah, I only watch the Tour for the scenery, these days. Sometimes the racing can be good, but nothing compares to a sublime gorge or mountain!

I've come to realise I don't really mind doping per se, but arrogant lying hypocrites who abuse people to hide their own deviousness. Voeckler probably won today because he got a cortisone shot for his knee - there's some talk about this around Europcar vis Charteau and last year's investigation. But, big deal: they seem congenial enough. Same for Contador and Frandy. Cadel can be a charger for all I care.

The likes of Judge Muttonchops and LA are simply antipatico.

Team Sky's holier than thou and abusive 'work-rate and professionalism' rhetoric is also galling for any reasonably intelligent person, and we've heard it all before. Its last espouser is finally recieving a belated comeuppance - we don't need version 2.0 so soon. A pair of old dudes start climbing and TTing better than everyone one else in the world because their mechanics stay up late. Yep, I'm sure. Maybe they're up late because they're inefficient?

Does anyone know when the Tour of Poland starts?

Really good to see good old Ritchie Porte close a minute on Vicenzo I must say. Seemed effortless. Or am I just a cynic?

Porte vs Nibali?
Come on. That's just insane.

The beauty of it they also had upper dopey Chris left, even AFTER the new discovered talent from Australia had a flat.

When you love cycling this must make a man sick.

Watch the replay when Nibali is overtaken by the peloton, he just watches in disbelief. Must be those other guys having more commitment of course.

Cycling anno 2012, sickening.

He was looking at Evans, twice before he attacked on the downhilll he had semi attacked waited for Evans to join him, but he just sat in wiggins wheel.

Sporza commentators do make mistakes, u must know.

This tour, without capitol t, is fixed, again. No doubt about it.

Do you really expect guys to follow him when a simple domestique, in these days he seemingly is a top rider [?????] can wheeel in a Tour of Spain winner?

 

[filipo]

Nope PhD scientist, employed full time in the field and come across differing conclusions from professionals on at least a weekly basis.

So you're saying your own profession is full of ****?
Brilliant. Excellent employee; would hire again.

 

[Maxiton]

All I can say is, Thank God no more lives were lost.

 

[barn yard]

porte at least looked like he was hurting a bit... but it was still an 'abnormal' performance

rogers we will never know what he might have done today

wiggins and froome... absolutely effortless for them

this tour is completely over, it is going to take a huge crash or major mechanical incident for wiggins and froome to not 1-2 the podium, and who cares about 3rd?

 

[Johnny Rotten]

He Can Do It!

Damn, Wiggins just might win 8 Tours!

 

[maxmartin]

Is it possible SKY doped all the domestiques to guts while keeping Wiggins clean? So when things are out, they can still keep Wiggins' tour title. Just a thought

 

[burning]

Damn, Wiggins just might win 8 Tours!

I doubt he can win 2

 

[Johnny Rotten]

I doubt he can win 2

Hmm you thought I was serious?

That said if they have "the program" from the good doctor Geert Leinders then the Sky is the limit !

 

[burning]

Hmm you thought I was serious?

Nope, but just wanted to express my feelings

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Richie Porte was invisible at Saxo, with the exception of some nice TTs, but now he's crushing the entire field and reeling in GT champions single-handedly.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. This is the same man that lost 20 minutes in the mountain stages last year.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Damn, Wiggins just might win 8 Tours!

he is 32 + a certain guy from Pinto will be here next year so do not get your hopes up to high

 

[Fergoose]

I couldn’t believe that either. I felt for sure he’d burst out laughing at such an inept attack.

Brailsford on Nibali and VDB attacks: They can do that everyday, it won't go very far.

 

[User Guide]

Ok so porte gets better in climbs but worse in TTs, erm isnt that what is suppossed to happen if his progression is natural? Honestly the madness that sky have somehow generated is way out of proportion to what the numbers the times actually are.That and the constant TDF thread trolling by posters from the clinic have turned my allegiance and now I want sky to win.(and i <insert wigginism here> wiggins) that and the hypocrasy.

They can't.
Nibali quoted earlier in the week that it actually takes greater effort from him to attack on the downhill.
Might even have something to do with Porte closing the gap in between the climbs.
That and not having to ride hard in the ITT.
Oh wait...........that can't be right.

I don't have a DVR else I'd get a screencap. Just. Not. Normal.

Who cares if you want Sky to win. You sound like another Sky fanboy, whining about people noticing the obvious, while you try desperately to hide it.

Gee let's see, Wiggins gets better in the climbs AND in the time trials. Yeah, that's a 'natural progression.'
