Tour de France 2014

I'm betting Nibali doesn't get the jersey back at all.

there, I said it.

I think he's just praying he's done enough for Vino to release his family unharmed...

Tony Martin's blog post after the win:

If the organization doesn’t plan a time trial, then I will just have to put on one myself. I was sad at the Tour presentation that there was only one time trial. But I have now corrected what I saw as a shortcoming.

Bloody Germans and their correction of other people's organisational deficiencies.

He's probably spent all night proof-reading their website à la Schick as well.

You must mean 'proofreading'. :)

Nah man, proofreading didn't go through the transition from two words to hyphenated compound to one word that long ago. Proof reading, proof-reading, and proofreading are all fine and correct.

At least it is in my America.

Frenchman in yellow for Bastille day? Reckon Nibbles & Bertie let him have that.

Today's gonna be a GC smashfest.

My Twatter timeline has just exploded with Marion Rousse pics

Was that the "laaaadyyyyy in reeeeeddddd" at the finish?

But who proofreads the Proof Readers?

The whole recent post is interesting to hear what that huge breakaway ride was like.

story from Koen de Kort (Giant Shimano captain) also enlightening.

Even ITV seems to be starting their broadcast 30 minutes after the start. I is excite.

I reckon Contador and Nibs let them go yesterday because they're going to piss on some chips today.

Metaphorically speaking.

Contador will attack hard. Rest day tomorrow. Don't see what he's got to lose. Nibs first test.

Also think Sky may have a punch at it.

Can't watch that at work. Please can someone summarise.

Porte in yellow by the end of today.

Someone with funny foreign accent makes Joaquim sound like "fucking."

Purrito for the win

Stage win glory? Pinot, Rolland, Bardet, or housewives' favourite Voeckler?

Vive le France.

I reckon Horner might try something today.
