Tour de France 2013 *spoilers*

[VamP]

So say (I know, it's all hypothetical but still... say) Sky would take some time away from Saxo, but looses time to BMC, Movistar and Katusha you don't think the papers would write about it?
(I'm a stinker, ain't I?)

I'd expect the newspapers to relate the results even if even FDJ won

But from the POV of the GC, the gap between Sky and Saxo will be the most closely watched

However, if Sky lose time to Katusha then that would be news

Is today Bruce Forsyth's favourite stage of the Tour? "Nice to see you..."

So far we have had the Orica Green-wedge bus scandal, lone breakaway survives impossible odds, Gerrans outsprinting Sagan. Going by this pattern, I predict Europcar to storm the TTT tomorrow and for Sagan to finish 2nd again with his Cannondale team.

You do realize you are putting (your beloved) Voeckler in the yellow jersey, right?

Still... it fits the pattern perfectly indeed (although I might have gone for Euskaltel)

Tommy V will be forced to withdraw after falling ill due to being covered head to toe in poop due to his team mates pushing over the porta-loo he was using (door side down) - because nobody really likes him

I'm not fluent in Aussie speak but I notice from his interview that Gerrans is either rapt or wrapped at his stage win yesterday.

The bloke with Kelly on Eurosport is really getting on my wick.

Let's hope JVDB takes an example from his team performance in the ITTs
(didn't expect Lotto to be that good)

 

[smutchin]

Europcar about to set off... Is anyone betting against Tommy V going on a solo breakaway today?

 

[Dave Davenport]

Great ride by GT.

Great ride by GT.

I'm just glad he peeled off before having to hit those speed bumps hard.

Saxo-Tinkoff on a stormer at the half way point. 2 secs ahead of Sky at the same point but one man down.

 

[Dave Davenport]

Are Europecar on a club run?

 

[rich p]

Could be Nico in yellow

or Kwiatowski if OPQS stay ahead
