Tour de France 2014

It's interesting that even at this level those that look good TTing are (often) good.

Van Garderen when passing Mollema – one is rock steady and arrow straight, the other looks almost as if he's swimming.

a fish on a bicycle, exactly what I thought. he never looks pretty riding but this was the worst. Belkin receiving the proper new TT bikes from Bianchi at the second rest day (...) probably didn't help, but it was painfully obvious he doesn't spend a lot of time training in that position. Ten Dam at least took the professional approach and had his 'bike whisperer' flown in before the TT, whereas Mollema just had his bike adjusted to the other one's measurements and went for it.

Is Peraud the second oldest person ever to get on the podium? Poulidor got there at 38 and 40.

it's his grandson I'll be putting my money on in a three, four years time!
