Tour de France 2015 - may contain nuts and SPOILERS

[Dayvo]

I reckon the Wide-Mouthed-Frog joke was based on Greipel.

And the members draw for a wild card entry into the team for certain races

How much each do we have to put in to own a team?

How much each do we have to put in to own a team?

Budget is 8m euros, I think, or was this year. How many CC members?

 

[gavroche]

Well, can't wait to see the route for next year. Great tour this year.

A LOT.

Thor Hushovd is starting a Norwegian team and reckons it needs tens of millions of kronor (£1=12 NOK - I can't do the maths).

 

[Dayvo]

Can we get a 'small' loan from the EU? Won't be a fraction of Greece's.

We can do some cost cutting somewhere i reckon.

Degenkolb nowhere either, unless I missed him, and Sagan and Demare shut out

I think Cav got on his wheel and when Degenkolb dropped back Cav sat up.

Sack the pros and replace with the top ten off the cyclechat mycyclinglog table would save a fortune

Just looking at the replay there, Degenkolb came across and came close to barging Cav, then dropped back and Cav sat up, probably realising he wasn't going to get a wheel. Sagan with the positioning right but no speed, the opposite to his efforts before the Alps

Getting the full Oscars acceptance speech from Greipel now

I could drive one of the cars and hand out sticky bottles.

Spare a thought for that Lotto(?) rider lying motionless in the middle of the road. I hate to see accidents like that but he'd just ridden 2,000 miles to get offed in the final metres. And there would have been no one to help him across the line if he'd been able to get back on his bike.

Yeah - Da Gorilla always there to fight and win! Well done Andre Greipel, what a Tour for the big man.

 

[coffeejo]

Adam Yates more than hinting he wants to win the maillot jaune.
