Thanks!
I don't begrudge it to Cosnefroy... but this polka competition is not the biggest race on earth, either, so far
Sorry, I didn't know exaggeration humor was not allowed here.
It's often a bit of a farce. I've never seen the point of having it, given that the "king of the mountains" is usually by definition, the winner of the general classification.
Especially in recent years with the reduction in ITT kms.
Comedy is s function of "tragedy + time".
You are missing the "time" part of the equation
People on here never stop f***ing moaning
The Tour de France i a 3 week endurance race ...they cant go eye balls out every day ...some people are so ridiculous
Removed by King Boonen
Not the 80s when only a handful or riders were near each other on GC and there was more open competition .Now the top GC guys are all very near each other
If you dont like it switch off

Well, that is your opinion. Fair enough, but I disagree, otherwise I wouldn't post it. With the upcoming covid-tests coming at monday I'm quite happy with my timing.Comedy is s function of "tragedy + time".

What's the deal with all this uphill crashes??
Jumbo should test the field today.
Obviously in the best shape, and should capitalize on other's fatigue.
Would do them good for tomorrow as well.

They'll probably give the yellow jersey to Zakarin and let him keep it for a week. GC riders stay together with a group of eighty.
Yeah, we definitely don't take our mother's advice: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
But I think that our collective moan/groan is in part a desperate attempt to entertain ourselves.
We don't all enjoy watching football friendlies

okay I'll pop out for the afternoon then
and catch up later.
About me: I actually think it's fun. But really it's hard to say "they are all at their limit, you don't know what it's like" when all the heavier riders are chatting and nobody's left behind.

Maybe Sagan wins tomorrow then
Afterall, Thor Hushovd won the stage over the Abisque in 2011
I think some of you guys have poor memory.
Even in the days of Armstrong and Pantani, most Tour stages were "boring", with Motorola (or whatever) sitting at the front of the peloton riding tempo until the last mountain.
The Tour has always been this way, especially in week 1, when nobody wants to risk too much.

Never said they are all at their limit ?
They are all under orders to only do something when it will count
So what do people suggest?
Quintana and Landa head off up the road ...where by JV chase then down and they leave it out there and are knackered tomorrow and arent able to follow and lose the Tour ? This is the problem with a very strong team
Cycling is as much like chess as it is like snakes and ladders

That would be dumb. Zakarin is a much more dangerous rider than an Oscar Pereiro or André Kivilev.
Bahrain are our only hope
(a phrase I still feel awkward saying)
nobody else will even think of trying anything on port de bales
