Tour de France 2014

compulsory Sagan wheelie pic of the day

Not to diminish the couple of days he's had, but once he hit the wall he was barely moving at the bottom of the final climb.

This was remarkable, such an extreme deceleration.

^^hero.

Given his 4th cat chipper win Peter Kennaugh should have been in the tour squad too.

Replacing who?

Argh.. watched it after the pub quiz. Even the gf stayed up to watch! Kwiatkowski, why do you shun us so!!!

I hope now Nibbles gets popped for juicing, Kwiat pulls back 10mins for the overall and Porte finishes a respectable second. #tellhimdreaming

Arse arse arse bum poo. If Nibbles had been beating Froome I'd be happy. Douchebag doesn't even interview in English. How dare he.

He knows that you'd only steal his secrets.

Replacing who?

Some info on the Contador crash

"As Alberto’s spare bike was destroyed, so Stephen Roche immediately offered his own race bike so that Alberto could continue immediately."

Blimey.

OGE FTW!

Bertie looked pretty darn pale after those crashes...

All the colour was draining from his knee.

18 abandonment's already....

breaks tibia - scales Cat 1 climb. I have little love for the guy but that might be the one time I would much rather he'd been drugged out of his skin on something potent! Hard.

Fair play to him, he looked totally calm throughout. Did not flinch a bit. No sign of pain. Tough man.

Is there any footage on a rest day?

compulsory shitty gif of same:

Is it just me or do this years £20 "fan packs" hats make all the spectators look like MacDonalds 'Player Escorts' from the world cup or the staff of a Japanese power plant?

"As Alberto’s spare bike was destroyed, so Stephen Roche immediately offered his own race bike so that Alberto could continue immediately."

Blimey.

Roche was the last man to win the Tour without clipless pedals in 1987 so at least Bert's cleat problems wouldn't have mattered.

What about the BLACK HELICOPTERS?

The baddies from the A Team took out Contador!?

The mystery of the snapped bike explained, I think

This was ironical a bit, right? While I was reading that my eyes crossed then turned into spirals and I started spitting oil and bits of machinery onto my keyboard.

The bike fell off, and then was ridden by Roche who crashed and then it was run over again?

Contador crashed on this bike.

Nico Roche gave him this bike because

this bike

was smashed into the Belkin bikes on the roof of their car

and he rode on after the medical attention on his* thir*d spare bike as first two were a) crash damaged and b) Belkin damaged.

OK?

yes, only in the meantime it also collided with a flying Belkin bike mid air.
