Tour de France 2015 - may contain nuts and SPOILERS

This.

Proving a negative is impossible, and the conspiracy theorists are never going to accept the data given. They will either claim it is incomplete or that it is falsified. If we really have to release data on anything and everything, then this should be dealt with purely by a body such as WADA or the UCI, rather than every tin-foil hatted self publicist with a grudge.

couldnt have put it better myself

Tejay van Garderen is ill. 2 mins off the bunch and has called the medical car.

“If I’m realistic, in the Pyrénées, I’m going to need to follow the guys who are important and take the opportunity if it’s there, but really use it as an opportunity to let other guys wear themselves down,” van Garderen said. “I think my strength is going to be in my consistency”

According to the live tracker, both Roche and Porte are in the lead group, how did that happen?

Luckily they seem to be making there way back to him

Ah, ok, they're not saying anything because they don't know. Fair enough. But Boardman really shouldn't have paused between the words "hemorrhaging" and "time".

Stupid question, but where does one get a live link? Thanks

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Thanks. I thought I had that already, but didn't see it anywhere.

Thanks.

They are. There's been lots of attacks, big breakaways going off and reforming, individual attacks.

Haas and Coppel abandon

He's ill, apparently, according to Yvon Ledanois
