Tour de France - Stage 8, 195km - Castres / Ax 3 Domaines, July 6th

[DenisMenchov]

No, they are WAY too much.

Polka dots are cool. There's never enough polka dots. How about a polka dot bike, polka dot shoes, and of course polka dot helmet. Kadri has it all.

Is it so difficult to understand that the shorts are a bit too much?

No, they are WAY too much.

Let's ask the man in white tube socks.

Remembered the above after seeing someone out in a PDM jersey yesterday.

 

[Tashkent Terror]

Would be interesting if Purito and Quintana are well in form to shatter the Sky train!! Just hope so ...

I reckon SKY were stronger last year, possibly a climber short with too much emphasis on Porte over 3 weeks?

That looks like a quite good proportion on all painted bodies.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Average speed for the first two hours: 44,6 km/h

Assuming neutral wind, its just about enough to make things interesting later on.

 

[taiwan]

Should go with the reverse on the shorts i.e. red ones IMO.

Pattern looks waay too much like RBCs though as has been noted before.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Why do people care about the jerseys?

 

[UpTheRoad]

Cannondale should drill it once again to see if Cav, Greipel and Kittel get dropped before the intermediate sprint.

I realize that it is on the lowest of the lower slopes, but that would make the upcoming hill that much harder for the sprinters.

True it's not actually relevant to racing.

They can earn enough to treat a road rash.

Classy guys simply don't wear those colored shorts. Neither green, yellow, white or dots

Maybe the sponsors have a say regarding the matter.

 

[ILovecycling]

Delfino polka dots looked great

anyway,interesting breakaway Johny and Riblon very good riders for such a stage

Do you really think those guys have a choice in the matter?

Team/sponsor decides that.

Now tell us something we wouldn't know.

Bouet could have been useful here.
Too bad he's out.

Greg LeMond 85 all over again. Too bad Wiggo isn't there to make some crazy solos like Bernie did the following year.

 

[petiagos]

Andrew Talansky,Nieve and Quintana ... my bets for todays attack

That would be excellent. Wiggins vows to "help" Froome by attacking him. (Course, Wiggins would not be able to attack Froome but just let's pretend).

Yea...LOL let's live in a dell where gnomes and fairies live.
