  • I thought there was footage, and that's why the Twitterati are up in arms, perhaps not?

  • But looks like he deffo did

  • Did they show it? All I've seen is him taking the bottle, then the tv director switches to the camera behind the group and you see him throw it away.

  • His head and face are obscured by another rider in the head on shot

  • Polemica!

  • He could be pouring it on his neck and/or face though.

    It's inconclusive, you can't dock time on that evidence. Even if Jonathan Vaughters thinks you should.

  • I would like to see less on water donation and more on Sky High's mystery supplement program.

  • that shot is inconclusive in so many ways. Apart from showing us that the the French are more bent on training chickens than they are on watching some of the worlds greatest athletes

  • Landa looks as bored as @TM is with the whole affair.

  • Bardet knows if he drunk it. He could be honest...Ha!

  • Landa was so strong today. Shame he's not racing for himself!

  • I just hope betfair don't take my winnings

  • Was it 2013 when Porte got food from the car and gave it to Froome when he looked like bonking? Last 20km rule unduly favours stronger teams in my opinion - GC riders can take good from doms, even when they take it illegally from a car.

  • Pretty sure Froome got penalised for that.

  • What a ride from Landa. Barely gurning or cracking a sweat on the climbs. Looked super strong.

  • Yep and a shit ton of racing left. Plan B?

  • Froome cracked on the second pass of alpe duez, the day rolland won.

  • Stunning ride. Think the same about Valverde and Quintana. It'll never happen, but I'd love to see an everyman for himself stage (that isn't an ITT).

  • Racing question: If you're Landa, at what point in those last few hundred metres do you stop pacing Froome up and start caning it trying to rob bonus seconds from the riders who've dropped him?

  • Is that what you do, or do you think "fuck it, I've worked hard for you and you've shat the bed, I'll go for the stage win myself"?

  • Froome should've given him the nod as soon as he knew he'd bonked. Team leaders call, and a bad one today.

  • Is that what you do, or do you think "fuck it, I've worked hard for you and you've shat the bed, I'll go for the stage win myself"?

    Wouldn't be the first time it had crossed a domestique's mind on that climb...

  • I feel like I heard someone say that he was given an order to do exactly this.
