You're joking, right?
Doping was endemic in cycling when the first TdF was just a gleam in someone's eye.

Doesn't Cobo know well that area? Also he rode a 34×32, didn't he?
while everyone else looked to be using 34×28.
better choice of gears!?

Did I here the commentator right ? the officials took Froome's sprint seconds from him. Plus getting caught the wrong side of a split round that dodgy roundabout; it all sounds very dodgy indeed.
A pal has just this minute phoned me from work - he's reading today's l'Equipe. There's a small article on the mayhem at the roundabout - apparently the guy who was supposed to direct the cars to the right and the riders to the left, got bored and wandered off before the peloton arrived. Soon after, a race official found him sitting in a bar having a drink and some tapas.

You've got to love the Spanish. It'd never happen here. It's an IMPORTANT job and it's more than my jobs worth not to do it!!

They know nothing. There are now just 13 seconds between the top two. With the way the time bonuses work and intermediate sprints, these are going to be an incredibly nervous last few days with both Sky and Geox trying to cover everything, all the time. There are so many chances for a slip that allows a surgical attack to gain just a second or two (like today), that with bonus times can turn in to 10 seconds or more and then... who knows?
Sky have clearly let Froome off the leash now, and Brad is going to have to help him as best he can, whilst at the same time watching out for Mollema, who is now close enough to take his third place, and climbing better too.
