Tour de France 2015

Let's hope we're spared the epic arse saga if he does.

Just like 2013, Quintana climbing better than Froome in the last week. Much overrated, that Quintana.

Is this the point where everyone starts saying "if the Tour was 4 weeks long, Quintana would win"?

Edit: ^nearly went there

Not sure why everyone likes Quintana so much, he doesn't really do much and he's not that nice to watch. Not a patch on Contador or Nibali in full flight.

"champion of Spain"

Not if there was a proper time trial as usual

Froome nearly took the polka dot Jersey by accident there. Bardet leads by 3 points.

Well exactly - if he can't win this tour, he's not going to win it with a more normal parcours.

Very good!

(the 30s thing)

Looks like a mix of a 10 and a 70 years old

Goodbye G, and thanks for all the fish.

The spectator who spat at Froome looks remarkably like @big_daddy_wayne with a hat on.

Busted

Fight talk from Chris - another bust up on the Astana bus..?

That is pretty gross

Did he abandon or miss the time cut?

It's about time some of these blokes got a clobbering. bodily fluids are a no no full stop.

All sorts of wrong, I hope he's named and shamed.

In other news, cycling with a chunk of tar between your brake and your rear wheel, can't be fun having some extra levels of resistance when you're climbing...

Oh the irony

Froome on Nibali's attack: "You don't do that to the race leader. It's not sportsmanlike."

What is it about nutters on the side of the road shouting . I don't understand their vitriol towards someone at the top of their game?.

I quite like that calm, sinister even: waft up the very hardest climbs thing that he does.

Have you ever been to a football match?

No full of wnkrs

Had this happen to me in Mallorca this year when we accidentally did a climb that was being resurfaced. It's no fun at all - it gets into everything.

Poor frame is still covered in tar/bitchumen. #csb
