Good riddance to the scrote, ban him for life

Ah Touché, can't stand the Schlecks, always whining about one thing or another.

It doesnt look a bit like Wiggo, apart from the token sideburns. Not even the correct style helmet.

Apart from his black socks, that's about the only thing that worries me about him - that he seems to prefer league over union.

Well he would do, giving that there is no Union being played at the moment. (In the Nothern Hemisphere, smart a**es)

Call me an old cynic by all means, but I can't help feeling the Torygraph has swallowed the Sky publicity machine's output without any kind of questioning. Yes I hope that Sky stays united as a team, and continues to work for Brad and a Cav stage win in Paris, just as I hope there are no more drug related "suspensions"..... but I fear it may not be the case.

including Steve Cummings.... .chances of a 5th (different) Brit stage win ???

 

[accountantpete]

Sky look very relaxed so presumably no threat - (I'm viewing via German Eurosport and can't understand a word).

I assume he's up there to give Evans a boost later on.

In the 38 are 2 from BMC : Cummings & Hincapie but none from Liquigas. Does this mean Cadel will have a go early and Nibali on the descent ?
Also Dan Martin, Voeckler, Casar, Vino, Taaramae, Kessiakof (KOM), Voigt & Popovich (RNT) and then some more.

with Martinez, Costa and Sorensen in the breakaway, might teams like Europcar and AG2R might get a little nervous about the GC standings?

Christopher Horner has gone over the edge on a bend - looks shaken but ok.

I think this stage is so big that the chances are all but a couple of these guys will be overhauled by the end - closest guy in GC is 18 mins down.
