Tour de France 2014

Apparently Mick Rogers was going to win the 2007 Tour, until he crashed out on Stage 8.

Just like Wiggo in 2011 then? #deludedfuckingpoms

Absolutely, he could never win the Tdf.

oh snap!

Wiggins has more podium finishes in GTs than Rogers has top ten finishes.

Seriously, Rogers has never, ever shown GT winning form. He was in a good break in the Alps on stage 8 of the 2007 Tour when he crashed, but to suggest he was in a race winning position is frankly ludicrous.

To add to the above. Wiggins had just rolled over Cadel in the Dauphine in 2011, he could have had him that year in the Tour too

My point, darling, is that you lot were all hailing him as a dead cert... right up until the point his bones broke and much like Froome this year.
It's not a trait exclusive to Australians.

Lucky for me, Wiggins will always be Belgian.

And Australians will be always English.

Winky thing.

(except the proper ones of course)

Not if they were born there.

Did he lean?

Talented rider, goes to ride on a big island NW of his home-country ... just like *Tasmanian *Richie Porte.

Hopefully a quiet day in the office this afternoon, the stage profile makes my legs hurt just looking at it.

Gerrans out.

Geography fail.

Ok, Tasmania is not a country. But they're considered pretty foreign.

To describe Australia as an island is really a bit too generous.

Tasmanians often refer to mainland Australia as "The North Island" to wind the mainlanders up.

They do? I've never heard it. You sure that's not just Kiwis over to collect their dole getting a bit confused?

Those poor Katusha domestiques, Rodriguez missed the break so has them chasing the 8 man break, presumably so he can bridge across to it on the first climb and get some points.

It's going to be a long day for Paolini et al.

I love watching live when I get the chance but always fall asleep on my sofa :(

50.2km in the first hour. Fek.

There's a huge group trying to go clear now.

Ride an hour long TT full gas then climb >3000m in 48 miles.

Fucking movistar douchebag...
