I like that the whiny Cav is back.If he hadn't won a single stage he wouldn't have a reason to complain and he'd be happier

What are you talking about?
On contrary.He wouldn't be in green so couldn't be unhappy about missing the full skinsuit.
Seems like Wiggins tries a little too hard to come across as a working class bloke (today with the white undershirt)? Or maybe he really is?
What ASO need to invest in are loads of stationary bike propelled fans. Then you could get the locals to get on the stationary bikes (and need enough to cover a 10k section) and pedal like mad as the peleton come past and create echelons. Would make every sprint/break stage way more fun.
Bunch undecided? UAE is the only team which is riding and they don´t have an interest to bring them back.
This. They’re tired and can try on an easier day tomorrow.Watch the start of the race when echelons formed - DQS had 2 or 3 riders in the back groups - This is the primary reason why the break went - DQS didnt have the strength today.
I'm not sure tomorrow will be an easier day.This. They’re tired and can try on an easier day tomorrow.

Take a look at the weather there at the moment.Ya, tomorrow looks like another breakaway day due to the length of it more than anything. Unless the break is tiny, that's a long day for DQS to control as UAE won't be bothered again.
He pissed himself on descents plenty so that's a lie.Brad never managed to ride and take a wee at the same time... wonder what was the problem.
It would be best anyway if Cav equals Merckx' record in Paris. That would feel proper and honoring of race history.
He grew up with a single parent in charity flats and on a council estate I think. I get the feeling he more wishes he grew up in Salford in the 80s though.Seems like Wiggins tries a little too hard to come across as a working class bloke (today with the white undershirt)? Or maybe he really is?
Descent was the problem obviously.He pissed himself on descents plenty so that's a lie.
Turned out O.K. anyway.He grew up with a single parent in charity flats and on a council estate I think. I get the feeling he more wishes he grew up in Salford in the 80s though.
Maybe dumb question: is the break gonna take this one?
