Tour Of California 2013 * SPOILERS*

[ColinJ]

Hot, hot, hot!

Not particularly nice to see after the end of that stage-riders collapsing with, I presume, heat exhaustion.

Anyone else find it ironic that the ToC main sponsor (Amgen) is a biotechnology company ? Who says the 'muricans have no sense of humour eh ?

It's better than that. Amgen best known for for launching EPO.

and EPO has of course many, many proper useful legitimate uses. But it is funny.

Is everyone sitting down? Right, I can post this next sentence...

Andy Schleck is in a breakaway group of 4 with over 4 mins. on the peloton

 

[Scoosh]

Put the whisky bottle down, Noodley !

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Apparently Philippe Gilbert has just requested a fresh pair of socks. I've never seen that done in the saddle before!

Anyone watching this on ES Player? I have Liggett and the other muppet coming out of the left speaker and some CB radio from what sounds like a co-ordinator for the mototcycle camera bikes or something, coming out of the right speaker! Perhaps I'm going nuts and it's all in my head...

Edit: It's not camera bikes but dunno what. Maybe a Helicopter that's filming. Most bizzare.

Damn, I wish I'd posted that article now, where he denied he was a favourite.

First Evans proved me wrong about his form, now Schleck...

If this trend continues, I'll have to stick a fiver on Basso for the Tour de France.

Shleck has shlecked - panic over Smutch!
Nice to get in from the boozer and watch live cycling even if it is only the ToC!

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Though Schleck's day is over, he looked lean and smooth. Now it's down to the Saganauts...

 

[Strathlubnaig]

Cracking sprint from being stuck in behind by Sagan, great effort.

 

[rich p]

Sagan it is.
Farrar is the Goss/Poulidor of the moment.

Well, Farrar was the Cavendish of the moment today. First win he;s had for a while I think.
