Don't care about the stage winner - Navarro pipped De Clercq, that's all that matters.

Went ski-ing at Grand Bornand back in 1988, IIRC. If I mention the name of the supermarket here, it will probably get censored.

Just had a look at the KOM situation. Turns out I completely misread the table so had the points distribution A over T, hence it's only 10pts for a Cat 1, not 20 as I thought. So there's a potential maximum haul of 21pts for the intermediate climbs tomorrow...
If Rolland wins all the intermediate climbs and Froome finishes lower than 6th, Rolland will nab the jersey.*
Don't fancy his chances.
Still, as he's second in the competition and Froome is still in yellow, at least we'll get to see those shorts again tomorrow...
*Edit: actually, any one of the current top five in the competition (Froome, Rolland, Nieve, Quintana, Riblon) could still win it, depending on what order they finish the stage in...

Given up chasing the maillot jaune, protecting the placings and not wanting Quintana to attack, keep up the pace. Will be interesting tomorrow with mountain finish, Quintana will have to go for it

Jose Serpa just retweeted my earlier "Vamos Colombianos!" tweet of encouragement to him. I wonder if he's seen my other recent tweets regarding his team leader.
Hmmmm.
Hmmmm.

Is it too mean of me to wish he'd fallen off? 
Anyone else getting fed-up with watching the live Eurosprt broadcasts due to the ridiculous frequency the adverts hit you at?

i was getting fed up on the double Alpe stage, but then all the adverts were at the start, when the mountains kicked in there weren't any (or very very few).
ITV4's highlights show is mainly adverts, or so it seems.

It's to fit in with the team leader.
Bakelants though has to be one of the winners of this tour.
I believe we can call it a draw... we both lost (but with dignityDon't care about the stage winner - Navarro pipped De Clercq, that's all that matters.
)I am considering flying with Turkish airlines though... it seems that on every flight you've got Kobe Bryant and Messi (and ice cream)
