Tour de France 2015

That was when he was at Barlowworld.

Ken Barlow sponsored a bike team?

How many riders have left Team Sky and gone on to bigger and better things?
(You can include Wiggins & Cav in that as well)

#Asking for an Aussie mate.

Ask Mick Rogers

Should be a great finish up this little ramp today. Inrng reckons the second km is between 12 and 14%.

It's got Rodriguez's name all over it.

He won here last time they rode it, in 2010.

But Wiggins was top 5 I think when they used it in Paris-Nice in 2012.

Rodriguez's chances depend on whether any of the GC riders fancy stretching their legs. He's looked off their pace on the climbs so far this race.

Lieuwe Westra! Sure he's on better stuff now than he was in the Vacansoleil days ;-)

I've got everything crossed for Simon and Adam Yates today. Having said that, it will obviously be Valverde.

As well has having his meat and two veg broadcast worldwide, Peraud was fined and docked time and points for it too.

Because he go pulled along by the team car, not because of having his John Thomas out.

Relation of Geraint Thomas?

Interesting break away with a minute right now.

Seems to be a rider from every team other than Sky in there. And some really strong riders.

Big names in the break!

Come on Tim Yatesy!

Jesus I need to stop watching the pre-race show. That was tragic.

i wish they'd stop marveling about tinkoff's bidon vest - the novelty value was over a week ago ffs

Tinkov is in the team car. I like to imagine he starts hoovering up lines at about 20km to go and demands some euro trance to nod along to.

Pinot, Bardet, Golas, GVA in there too, could be others

I am going to shove that "large piece of wasabi" up that cunt's arse.

FUCK OFF!

Bet that'd get him sweating.

Anything happened today yet?

Yes. Yates up there with Bardet!

Simon Yates having a hell of a ride.

Gwan Cummings!
