Tour de France 2013

Clearly the chap who posted that^ thinks that there was a Super Sandwich of +100 watts in the bag

Awesome display there. Really enjoyed watching that.

#highlights

Hah - Froome looks fucked.

So what do we reckon - Sky sits back and protects the yellow jersey, or pushes for a bigger gap?

vauxhall Tv ad. I got a request to use the original version unfortunately they want for this shite sub par the Streets re record murdering the lyrics. it's the Wii bumpers that are doing my head in

FRoome dog blew that apart, amazing ride jet powered cadence at times, chapeau to him, this will be an amzing win if he can get to the end. shame the Cound had to get in on the act

Clif Bar Shot Bloks.

If Froome got some and Quintana didn't, he's obviously going to beat him up there.

Damn. Promised myself i wouldn't but looked at her Twatter again.

A bit of a Winnie that one.

What's she done?

Lots of intertubers forgetting this ride; 2012 TDF was the anomaly in his trajectory when he had to reign it back
Cobo off his tits on god knows what but Froome puts him in a box.
He is a freak but consistently freaky

Lifted directly from Wattage:

"UCI Rule 2.3.027

Feeding is prohibited on climbs, descents and during the first 50 and last 20 km.

The commissaires panel may reduce the distance of 50 kilometres mentioned above, depending on atmospheric conditions and the category, type and length of the race. Such a decision must be communicated to interested parties before the start of the race.

It was an obvious and illegal feed. I hate to spoil a great race and stage, but you have to park your car for THREE DAYS at least, to get to that spot. This was planned, it was public, and it was specific........"

Feed station placings and cut-offs for bottles are often changed on the day due to the whims of the RD. In such hot weather they would make allowances. If Sky were, theoretically of course, to have a nutritional strategy that relied on a particular supplement in a large amount of fluid just before a hard effort/climb, then they would be taking advantage of dishing out as much as they could as late as they could.

The rules regarding feeds are there for various reasons, but it's not to force the riders to become dehydrated.

Sodium Bicarbonate

Oleg Tinkov twitter feed is a bit of an eye opener

@olegtinkov: You all talking cycling and other where stuff.But have U fuck you wife today or going to? Do your duty first, than chat losers. I DID!

Etc

On Froome going over the line

@olegtinkov: Armstrong have had same dominance as Froome.And later i seen him crying to Oprah.I am too adult to believe in fairytales.#Tdf #SaxoTinkoff№1

So the guy whose team employs Contador is having a go at others about doping?

Phil g rolling in with Evans.

Shame for cuddles. Should have retired. Now he has to go out being out of date.

How quickly you forget the Giro. And so much for the great white hope of Teejay

Pretty epic stage though. Sucks that Sky got it and Kwiatkowski lost time.

Yep, but

@olegtinkov: To be EXACT! I OWNED the team for 3 years and sponsor now for 1year, NO,means ZERO doping cases when I own or sponsor the team! This is fact

He is either epic troll or IMO a complete cunt

@olegtinkov: @JimGeeGB you are poor and stupid , what a punishment from the God . Eat your pizza with pint of cheap beer and go jerk

@olegtinkov: @JimGeeGB Jim,is it true that you boys start to fuck each other from 11, in only boys private schools? That is why every second is gay inUK?

Fucking hell, can you imagine if the Glazers or Abramovich came out with that shit?

Fucking love that stage, I remember watching it live and shouting at the TV when Cobo caught him. Even better with the french commentators rooting for Froome!

haha @olegtinkov sounds like a massive troll, although I wish he is not. That would ruin the comedy.

Should be a standard sign off on here-

@olegtinkov: Went opening Romanee Conti Jeroboam 1962. I am tired of all of you, cunts.

Got home from France (non cycling trip) this evening looking forward to watching the highlights that I'd set up the clever sky box to record. Only to find we no longer have itv4 HD and I've therefore recorded an hour of a blank screen. Fuuuuuu! I was really looking forward to watching today's stage too.
