Vino attacks everyone said:
We all know that he should, just like we all know AC won the 2010 tour

And you think Jan deserved it more?

The thing about the 90s is that no.2 is not worthy getting the win either (i.e. in the example, 1996, Ulrich was just as doped as Riis).

No idea what you'r talking about. But I guess, one could argue that Ullrich might have doped in his career indeed. Which is the reason why so many of us belive that the winner of the 2003 tour really was Vino, since he was the only clean rider in the top 10

So will Astana try to lose the yellow jersey soon? Astana waisting energy on the front of the peleton atm...
They will most likely take another day at the front on stage 4. Then their car will be 1st in the caravan on the Arenberg stage.

They will not try to protect the jersey on stage 5 (possibly on the earlier stages of the stage) but just hang in there and not lose time to other GC guys.

Yes - sound thinking.

not until stage 5, that is why the team is fighting for the GC position to have the car close by on the cobbles. And it is not a waste of energy to protect your leader in a safe position. Stage 5 is a great opportunity for Nibali take time against Froom.

Howly cow:

"Nibali's coach, Paolo Slongo, told @friebos he weighs 1.5 kg less than he did at the 2013 Giro and is producing an equal number of watts"

No dropping Nibs this tdf, that's really impressive :D
