Clean or not, you still have to be a highly talented, gifted and dedicated athlete to be where he is.

He's not whingeing or making excuses.

Indeed not. I'm no fan of Froome but fair-do's, respect even.

Right. One more day of keeping our fingers and toes crossed for Cav's battle against the clock.

Forecast finish time is between about 3hr 30 and 3h 55. Cutoff will therefore be between 18% (if fast) and 15% (if slow) which comes out at between 33 and 37 mins or thereabouts.

Hopefully will pan out similar to today, as long as Matthews and Colbrelli don't get up the road, DQS will need to be alert to shut any threatening move down. Cav will be fine in the peloton upto and beyond the inter sprint, where he can limit any losses to M&C to a point or two. Then with the two big climbs stacked at the back end, rather than a series of climbs from early doors, the autobus should comfortably make the cut-off.

Freeman's in the Cayman Islands so hes no use"Gotta feel for him with his riders going pop one by one 🙄
Can you tell I've got a day off and too much time on my hands....bring on some more drama and badass tactics today by Billy the Kid Carapaz !

That's true but unfortunately cycling is a victim of its dirty past and there are always people who are happy to point the finger.
I think Pog and Rog are clean but they have some dubious associations, I believe, which fuels the flames. And that they come from the same country doesn't help.

could always use a jiffy bag and post it :crazy:

or send Brad on a bike
 
Mike did Carapaz not drop Uran off the podium and take a spot himself ? At least he tried something....what was he going to work with them both to gift Pogi the stage?
They've already said we though he was bluffing lol
Job done for him yesterday I think.
Carapaz did OK. But with my 20:20 Hindsight goggles on:
He should have known he couldn't win the stage. If GC was the focus, he could have worked with the other two to maximise his gain over the other 4-5 podium rivals.

He's definitely a gurner. The spirit of Voeckler lives on!

Our Tom is ensconced, Wiggo-like, on the back of a motorbike for the French live coverage. His insights are of great value and his continual 'cheeky-chappie' persona a refreshing change from the studio voices. One has to imagine his gurning of course... but that's not very difficult as he mastered the art to such a high standard that he has become standard bearer, the measure to which all others are compared.
