fishbulb Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 It's been a fantastic tour so far. It looked like it was going to be a dull parade with Sky controlling and neutralising everything but it's been far from it. I was no Froome fan but by God he has upped his game. He stll looks like a giraffe on a bike but he's worked hard on his weaknesses. I'm going for Steve Cummings for today's stage. Possible Valverde.

Underpants Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Why don't they fit every bike with a timing devise? Seems ridiculous that 50 riders should get the same time just because the are in a following group. Not one of them are racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maaarsh Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Fantastic performance from Yates again - serious chance of British 1-2 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbulb Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 'kin hope so. He's going to put it in to keep Quintana at bay though. Porte is storming up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted July 4, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2017 A GB one-two looking good. Â Quintana is yet to threaten but this Sunday's stage is an absolute fucking monster. Nearest thing to torture you can get on two wheels. Â It'll be the stage that decides the winner I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites man Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Only 3 mountain stages this year so Quintana will be an outsider in my book. Â Thought Sagan was harshly treated today and will miss shouting at the TV during a Cav sprint finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted July 4, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 4, 2017 It won't be a gb 1 2  In fact unless frome was saving something in the giro, Porte is a much better bet  I'd say there's pushing 5 riders with a big shout and Thomas isn't one of em  Kicking Sagan out is a big call but that crash was horrible   Fwiw, I'm almost as keen to see how Yates does as the GC winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Not seen any of the racing other than incident but on a quick glance tempted to agree. Â As an aside my 21yr old nephew Chris Lawless won silver in the National Road Championships couple of weeks ago, looking forward to maybe seeing him on the Tour in the future.

Â Good stuff. Â As a 14 year old I was in the junior section of a club in Horwich. Can't remember the name, but a few of us led by an old chap who'd dropped down from the seniors to help. Would still leave us for dead if he wanted. Only trouble was I'd have to ride ten miles to the crown just to start. I'd be absolutely shagged by the end of the day. Still good though.
