Tour de France 2015

I'm watching the Spanish feed.

I don't speak Spanish, but it seems much more informed.

Seldom
Reliable
Always
Malfunctioning

Is pretty lolz.

That said - I've been using SRAM for the last 4 years and never had any problems.

He's definitely got a problem because he's not going downhill as fast as we've seen him go downhill in the past

o rly?

You can actualy hear his front mech banging against something

Apparently a TT motorbike rider would be much better at going round a corner down a hill.

Scorchio.

When he pedals.

That wireless kit had seemed pretty reliable until now.

He's on mechanical today

He's riding mechanical SRAM.

Bertie bike change, needed one with a better motor?

AGR2 should have stayed with the more reputable purveyor of racing bicycle components...

quintana doesnt say much ?

Battery was flat

quintana doesnt say much ?

Doesn't do much either...

Ahh yeah, that makes more sense

There are reports he's under the weather today. We'll find out soon enough.

Gah, ad breaks in the last 15km!?!

There are reports he's under the weather today. We'll find out soon enough.

So am I, it's pissing down in London this afternoon.

No no, on itv its cycling breaks in an advert show, get it right

I so wish I was on the side of that road in a deckchair, wee tent set up, beers in chill box, distended white belly dazzling the tv camera as it passes and excitedly waving a hotdog at the fatigued riders as they pass by, maybe muttering native cruelties to the ones I dislike... #sportive

Feck - end of the week sales meeting starts at 4.30. Brilliant.

On another note, the blue of Nibs' bike is annoyingly mismatched to his jersey. WTF Astana... Colour co-ordination is the most important aspect of choosing your kit.

I think we should organise a forum trip to Box Hill to coincide with a charity ride or sportive where we set our selves up by the side of the climb and yell abuse and wave flags in the faces of the riders as they climb, thus giving them a true Alpine experience. Cow bells optional. A lime green mankini a must.

Why couldn't nibbles have felt faster, earlier we would have had more of a race..
