2014 Pro-cycling season thread

Also, remember last year's Tour where Porte rode so hard one day after his work was done, to cement his own place on GC, that he blew up the next day leaving Froome isolated? Sky were incredibly fortunate to get away with that, thanks mainly to Movistar's idiotic tactics.

Rubbish. Movistar attacked stupidly early forcing Sky to use up their riders. Why do you think Kiryenka was eliminated? Porte was lucky to bust a gut for stick bandit and still have anything left for further stages.
