I do like that Chaves lad. He comes across really well in his interviews.

Me too,he smiles even when in pain ! He is my Mrs cycling crush......great things to come from him I think/hope

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

He deserved it,by far the strongest there.

And you were the strongest pundit today, scores just about to be updated...

A SKY fanboy is getting a bit carried away with his biro on twitter

Not unless he greatly improves his TTing.

What chance of Yates finishing in top 3?

Zilch or nada as we say, in Spain.

I wish Froome would change his script when interviewed. " The guys were fantastic today, the team did a great job." It is becoming a bit too predictable and boring. I like Froome but please, talk a bit more about the actual race, not your team.

So today he talked about another team instead

Maybe it would help if there was not such a rush to carry out the interviews so close to race end?

An interview would be one of the last things I'd want to do having pulled my tripe out on a hard day like yesterday.

Maybe he reads this thread?

Let's hope not.

Oh, is this still going on?

It has failed to grip me. I'd forgotten all about it over the holiday weekend.

Rest day yesterday, so you missed nothing.
But Froome seems to be the only one who wants to win this.

Rest day yesterday, so you missed nothing.
But Froome seems to be the only one who IS ABLE to win this.

There has to be more to come,attacks on sky/froome I mean.The climbs get a lot longer,and riders more fatigued by end of first week.Surely Orica will have to sacrifice some riders to look after Chavez ? The yates brothers ? There has to be a plan B to topple Froome.Im not so sure no one else wants it,but on the performance of the last week he's shown he is the strongest and looks at his best.I guess everyone else is hoping he has a bad day in the next couple of weeks !

This descent is stomach-churning to watch.

Presumably Bahrain are pushing on to make sure Nibali is at the front of the group over the summit...
