I thought there was going to be 6 stages shown live from the start? We've had the TT, TTT and Stage 21. What are/were the others?

This is ridiculous. They should just go to coverage as soon as it starts instead of having 20 minutes talking ***.

On French Eurosport, Gallopin's hot wife works as a pre-race consultant, so I don't really mind :rolleyes:

I'm blaming Tomalaris. Someone needs to roll Tomalaris at SBS...surely there is someone who is ambitious enough for that role?

The second stage, Tossuire and Alpe d'Huez. I'm not sure if the Cauterets stage was also shown from the start.

I wish we had that in Australia. You lucky bastards!

Instead we have Tomalaris and McEwen or big head Dave McKenzie talking *** for 10 minutes, then we have Phil and Paul talking *** for another 5 minutes and then we have 5 minutes of *** cooking with *** Gabriel Gate It's a *** bike race, not a cooking show.

Tomma is okay. If anyone replaces Tomma it will be McKenzie. We don't want that. Tomma is better to put up with than McKenzie.

JRod now in Polka dots for real

Yep. Tomorrow could easily *** him with the GC guys getting points if they race it hard. The good news for him is that they won't because they are pussies.

We need to outdo the French and trump their Tony Gallopin's missus with Peta Mullens.

Trek and Giant can **** right off.

Why? You rather see Sky taking it easy again and giving the break 15' or so?

Trek have 2 in the breakaway, perhaps Trek will try to use these two as a forward post on the Glandon for Mollema... should be interesting.

Mollema doesn't have the legs to attack. They will only be there to pace him when he gets dropped.

Mollema won't attack, he's barely able to follow the ten best climbers without attacking.

I can see Nibali trying something on the Glandon but it's equally likely there will be a total truce.

I think you're right, but I can hope right?
