As there were apparently 32 punctures, I reckon the culprit must have taken advantage of a 'buy one, get one free' offer. Find the local DYI store that's doing the offer, cross reference that with the till receipts and local driving agency data base and, bingo, you have your man. I should have been a CSI.

I lost a bit of respect for Rolland today. Gained even more for LL and Sagan.

We've all forgiven him, he did not know. Let him back into your heart...

It could be that although the pack said 'contents 30 tacks' the person filling the bags just put a couple extra in, which was kind.

No, I'm not playing your silly games old man.Not really, that was a gamesmanship as it was his team who benefitted most.

Can anyone else not watch the live coverage?
I am a bag of nerves in case Wiggins cracks, I have to turn the TV off and have the occasional glance at the online updates. It's only the highlights I can sit back and enjoy
I'm enjoying the live coverage, Wiggins looks good, nice to see him leading out yesterday and taking control today for the benefit of Cadel, really coming across as a sportsman. It could all go wrong for any number of reasons but for now it's all good stuff.

Will probably get nervous once (if) he gets through the last two Pyrennean stages ok. Rain on the TT course, a little nudge on the Champs....
I'm less fearful than I used to be. As each day passes, I'm more confident in Wiggins ability to know what needs to be done and to do it. He said yesterday that when Evans attacked on that short brutal climb (Mt St Clair??) that he wasn't concerned as there was 40km of flat to reel him in again if necessary. For me that typifies someone in relaxed control. I don't think he (and Sky generally) are leaving things to chance, it's all calculated.
Cut them some slack. It speaks more of corporate use of facebook than anything else. 'Buy our superb new washing powder' sort of thing.

Did you see BMC saluting the Sky car as they rode back to the peloton? Wiggy's sportsmanship was appreciated by his peers. Turning it into a reason to Sky-bash? Sheesh...

Missing the point. Of course it was appreciated, but it shows a lack of dignity when you need to draw attention to it yourself. Anyway, it's hardly great sportsmanship, it's expected behaviour.
Team Sky, more cheerleaders than the NFL!

Re tacks, do you think someone just misunderstood what handing out points in the mountain classification means ?
