Tour de France 2014

Eurosport too

Any idea where Talansky is?

Yeah but I could do with a loan and those Amigo guys seem super friendly.

Jesus Christ, those cobbles in those conditions!

Tinkoff Saxo started the race without a out and out cobbled classic specialist in their line up - I wonder if they are regretting that decision now.

This is awesome. I love Paris-Roubaix, but there is excitement here all the way though the field. Hopping up and down with excitement!

Bertie 30secs behind Nibali

This man is in the tumble dryer, but it's exceedingly wet -kirby gets worse

I am beginning to think that Carlton may just be the best commentator ever. His hatstand utterances are beginning to develop a majesty and meaning all of their own.

45 second lead for the Nibali group.

Nibali has never raced on the cobbles before has he?

Nibali has never raced on the cobbles before has he?

No. Which makes this astonishing.

He's a hell of a descender in the wet though, maybe it's a transferable skill.

I'd quite like Nibbles to win this year.

Mollema needs to get in, Nibbles sits perfectly in the Boom & Vanmarcke group :-/

What happened to that little Columbian guy from last year? Is he not racing this year?

I did say there would be blood on streets today, this is a charnel pit.

Don't let Cav hear you say that.

What happened to that little Columbian guy from last year? Is he not racing this year?

Quintana. He won the Giro and is missing the Tour.

Do we know how many have quit so far? Is it just Froomey?

nice salto by Bak

Uran?

I think I found Talansky.

:(

He's lying on the floor covered in mud.

Nibz isn't just riding, he's flying!

Who was the lotto guy that just did a front flip???
