Try to find me an honest person in the peloton....

Karma for sprinting away when Froome dropped his chain, @Marmion

Nibali DQ'd

How are you enjoying the Absolute 80s show?

Do you follow me? Hate to think I'm being impolite...

No, just spotted you tonight - we both favourite the photo of Aru fairly early on and I spotted you from your pic and name

In the pre-show interviews, does anyone else think Dan Martin looks excessively pale for a pro-cyclist?

Irishman looks a bit pale shocker

GT is already 5 minutes down so he's probably not in the shape as the TdF.
Quintana tried to do a Froome and gain time early but maybe the one's who did the Tour still have it in their legs. We'll see.

Ah they've all done it...

One heck of a twist in this race already then. Too late for today's ITV highlights but I expect it'll be in tomorrow's.

Tanner's horrific injury and Nibali's ludicrous cheating aside, that was a really good stage: Chavez was awesome, and for those following the rise of African cycling, it was great to see Songezo Jim in 14th - he's a young man with an inspiring backstory and he's improving all the time: http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/17/sport/songezo-jim-cycling-africa-tour/index.html

I'm guessing Astana's twitter is a whole load of fun tonight - not that I can see it since they blocked me for calling them dopers

Let's play inconspicuous rider bingo - a rider that goes the whole tour without a mention on tv. Frank Schleck. Feckin Frank Schleck

Schleck got a namecheck on Eurosport. Something along the lines of:
"Do you think Frank Schleck will do anything today?"
"No."
"No, me neither."

Surprised to see Spartacus roll in second last, but less so as I'm reading he's had the fever and is now suffering stomach problems. Like delicate orchids these pro riders.

What's happening with Cancellara, not expecting to be back up to doing anything in the vuelta?

GT is already 5 minutes down so he's probably not in the shape as the TdF.

Could he be doing what Porte did in the Tour de France. Take it easy but then be there to help when it matters?
