Obviously wiggo was riding on the front to try to help lopez get the stage win

Kinda funny people expecting quintana to do great things on this stage as if hay tor is mnt Ventoux lol

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Good, but it's no Wilunga.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Of course, selfless as he always is.

Anyway, climb too rouleur to create anything really exciting.

Hey, come on, at least Puncheur surely?!!

 

[Marco Pantani]

Given that interview , it's hard to believe he has nothing to do with Sean Yates.

 

[willbick]

Great to see 2 young british/irish talents winning the last two stages.

 

[willbick]

I'd like to pinch the **** of that podium girl

 

[Frosty]

Typical British confusion over the number of kisses to be given

I think as its the ToB a firm handshake should suffice

 

[jens_attacks]

[Afrank]

Very nice win by Yates. Now someone sign him and his brother up to a world tour team for next year.

Classy.

10char

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Yates was awesome today.

Might move into the position of being the top favorite for Florence, even though so far the Brits considered Adam as more suited for the course.

 

[Catwhoorg]

Team Sky hasnt exactly dominated the race in previous years, only placing one rider in the top 10 on each occasion since Team Sky was formed.

2010 - Greg Henderson (3rd)
2011 - Steve Cummings (2nd)
2012 - Knees (9th)

To be fair they have seemed to treat it is a PR exercise, meet and greet the fans, get locked in a couple of pubs etc.

Even Wiggo gave that an oblique mention in an interview.

How can you say that Jens! The people's champion will return.

Actually it was a pretty big target for the team in the first two years (not so much in 2012 after the Tour win). I remember a particularly epic Sky tactical fail on a stage to Stoke in the 2010 event.

Yeah for reasons unknown Wiggo sat up after setting Greg Henderson up for a sprint and lost a minute.

Hangover...

just like Wiggo and Cavs withdrawal last year.

 

[willbick]

Any thoughts for stage 7? Maybe break can stay away? Think Cav will get beat either way, finish looks good for Viviani or maybe Ciolek if its a sprint

 

[willbick]

Classy.

You sure you've got yr head far enough up yr own bottom?

Didn't Cav win in Guilford last year?

 

[willbick]

Yes but i think the uphill sprint competition is better this year with ciolek and viviani

 

[Ruudz0r]

What happened to Martin? I wasnt able to see it today
