Tour de France 2014

Is Turbo Durbo looking to inherit Evans' crown as the grumpiest Aussie in the peloton?

Ride an hour long TT full gas then climb >3000m in 48 miles.

guess they won't stop for crêpes at the top of the Peyresourde

What's the thinking behind Fuglsang going in the break?

How does Kirby pronounce Peyresourde?

It's useful to have a man up the road who can pace you when the remnants of the break and the GC heads of state come together on the last climb(s).

^^^ sit on the back, making those going for stage wins check him and therefore their ideas, so they wont help pull the group, lowering time back to nibali.

The profile today is frankly hilarious. And they're so aggressive into it.

Kwiatkowski is off the back?

Today my Polish friend told me Kwiatowsky means "flowery".

Thomas doing a great job messing with Roche!

So what does Kwiatkowski mean? :)

hope Mollema keeps up his pace to finally claim his rightful place in the top 10

It means 'nobody likes a smart arse' in Venutian.

Gautier has been taking some lessons from Tommy V. Gurn intern.

Do they have photo-finishes for mountain points?

ha! I doubt it, the installation takes a couple of hours to set up

Kiryienka should have stopped for crêpes

Not surprised. Wonder what they do if there's a dispute over who came first - looked pretty close for that last peak.

give it to the French guy?

oh, wait

;-)

The French are all about the podium this year, not the sideshow that is the mountains jersey.

Maybe Mollema could target it next year?

Bardet going on the kamikaze

^^ yes, it would be nice to see him win something. nicer than ending up anywhere between 4 - 10 in gc

that's Ten Dam's place

just switched on. Who is the Katusha rider in the break?

Please not Purito, I removed him from my fantasy cycling thing today..
