Tour de France 2015

Everyone's knackered and tomorrow's finish is hard, so it'll be a break today I think. The sprinters will save their teams for Sunday.

TJAY is impressive this year. He's steped up. Hopefully he can hold on to the form and keep riding strong through the alps.

This was a good read I thought;

I know it's heresy, but I don't think Quintana is as good as he's made out to be. Yet.
He won the giro at 24, what more do you want!?

He needs to win a few Classics and the Vuelta.

Agree about TJAY, bet he can't wait for Porte to join BMC

If TJAY podiums he's got a better palmares than porte. I don' think he's worried.

It could still be this year. There are plenty of places for Froome to lose time and Quintana could be strongest in the last week.

Nibbles is a shark.

Well the shark can go back to the water as the rhino is here...

Couldn't imagine someone less rhino-like. He cycles a bit more like a giraffe, or a raindeer.

Any truth in the rumour Froome is going to ride the Alpe stage in a rhino suit?

He could. But so far he hasn't looked in top form to me.

Btw, today's stage finish is similar to stage 6 in Le Harve. Doubtful either Etixx or Lotto will work for a sprint.

Sagan to win his first stage maybe.

Except they have their heads up!

I can't see Saxo Bank working all day to facilitate that. So he'll need someone else to work for it. Which basically means Giant-Alpecin.

My prediction is that Voeckler will join the early breakaway and then crack at 160km.

I dunno. He might get a few people. Now winning the green is saxos hope of getting something good from the tour.

Beacuse oleg couldn't care about contador getting a podium...

I feel a need to an animal painted on my bike now.

ostrich?

I've got a few flies on the headtube. Does that count?

And what's all the hype about Sagan? Is it just cause he can wheelie?

Roadrunner?

Crab

Happy sloth. Perfect.
