Apparently Geraint Thomas couldn't get on his bike and needed help after two failed attempts.

Will be riding today with a small fracture to his pelvis!!

Jerome Coppel's retired. If I were wearing that underwear, I wouldn't have uploaded that photo to twitter, though.

FDJ's antics yesterday reminded me of Vini Fantini in the Giro.

Wow, that's a bold statement...
Maybe comparing them to Bardiani (and the erratic behaviour of Pirazzi) would have been a nicer thing to say


By the way, no way I am liking that underwear (the red socks aren't improving the ensemble either)

Yes, possibly, but I didn't mean anything by it. I was just recalling Vini Fantini hammering along at the front of the peloton day in, day out, during the Giro. Good exposure for the sponsors.

Two years ago in August I was touring on Corsica. This road they're riding today, from Ajaccio to Calvi, I did over two days, and it was absolute heaven. I can't recommend Corsica enough as a touring destination.

Allez Chava!

Allez Chava!

Think he needs to kick again soon to make it happen.

 

[smutchin]

He's not going to do it.

Goss is in the bunch! So that's second place decided.

[smutchin]

Ha! Sagan is the new Goss.

I'm gonna have to catch tonight's highlights just to see whether they re-record Phil's commentary for the sprint...

 

[iLB]

See Gerro dropping a bike length on his lead out man to take full advantage before launching the sprint.

Gerrans beats Saggers by a nostril
great sprinting, and another interesting stage
