If you think this stage might have suited a certain Michael Matthews, his team has grander objectives in mind for him.

Like the KoM jersey in Tirreno Adriatico
In the hindsight, possibly there's been some contract beef between them.

Bol FTW today!


(I have Hirschi in my prediction comp, but I guess Bora think they can do better than I thought they could)

If you go Giro > Tour it seems to make you a true cycling fan.
What about if you value T-A > Tour?

This makes me think of a Rowan Atkinson skit, the dancing part on a first date.

"This is good." (Tour)
"This is better." (Giro)
"This is starting to be misguided." (T-A)

Peter Kennaugh telling the story of the time Froome grabbed Nibali by the scruff of the neck and held him up against the wall of the team bus. This was after Nibali threw a bottle at Froome. I find this kind of hard to believe.

scruff of the neck meant Froome came up from behind without Nibali seeing him...totally believable.

Froome is like Mansell now?

Well, I guess they both rode in the best team.

Did this happen to be on a Tuesday?

Froome: "Check out my medicine cabinet!"

I realise now that Froome wasn't shocked/angered by Nibali going to throw a bottle, but was shocked/angered that it wasn't sticky.
