Tour de France 2015 - may contain nuts and SPOILERS

[HF2300]

They must have slowed a fair bit - Geniez has put more time on and he's not going that quickly

 

[HF2300]

Konig has been disappointing but I read somewhere that he was doubting whether he'd recover after the Giro. Sky shudda listened

I think he did do quite a lot of early work though

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

NO!! ITV and ES, get your adverts staggered again like you have done previously!!

 

[MiK1138]

Or maybe not!

What a difference an add break makes, this is gonna get messy on the last climb

The chap offering Geniez goodies from the team car... After failing to entice him with a bidon and an energy bar, maybe he'll try asking Geniez if he wants to see some puppies?

 

[Bollo]

It must hit G's spot!!


Sorry

I've been trying to work that one in all week. I was thinking if Geraint were to do a tour diary piece to camera each day it could be called.....

 

[HF2300]

At some point during the ad breaks I missed that Pinot, Hesjedal, Plaza and Anacona have gone clear of the maillot jaune group

Maybe so, but Knees would have done that better, and Konig was supposed to be a superdom in the mtns I'd have thought

Sorry.

Surprised it hasn't already been said!

I must admit I thought that was the idea as well.

Perhaps he was doing a Pinot and being all sulky toddler...

DS: Gel?
Geniez: Don't like it.
DS: juice?
Geniez: NO! Don't like it.
DS: Water?
Geniez: Water's boring.
DS: You're not having sweets.
Geniez: I want sweets.

Can someone explain why it's bad form to attack when another rider is delayed? Suppose Nibali was planning to attack at a certain point anyway, should he change his plan? How does a rider evaluate the nature of his competitors delay? i.e. if Froome's frame had snapped or if he pulled a muscle, would there be the same reaction?

I'm not supporting Nibali, just trying to understand why it's deemed bad form?

I wondered this. I thought that the TdF was a race and the idea was to win it. I used to ride Point-to-Point races and if one of my competitors had a problem I would have capitalised on it in a second. Other competitors disadvantage to your advantage.

I also cannot understand why they don't 'race' tomorrow. If I was in a position to overhaul the current leader on the last day, I would definitely give it a bash. If the race is decided today and all Froome has to do is cross the line, what is the point of tomorrow?

I've cycled up the Alpe...
slowly
just saying
I had beer and chips at the top.
Geniez might like that

A celebration, a sprint fest and a spectacle.

I would cycle up it for a basket of puppies.
