  • ^^ but in for the TDF

    Wonder how that affects Wiggo's chances of a TdF berth? It looks like he's putting in the hard graft again.

  • I bet Froome and Nibali etc are hoping that about Contador! He smashed in in Spain today

    Porte must have been really ill.

    Contador has peaked too early ;)

  • They should make Wiggins earn his salary.

  • I would call riding the Ronde for Thomas at short notice is earning your salary. I'm just waiting for the real Wiggins to stand up, and it looked like that yesterday.

  • Cosmo Catalano's Ronde review, excellent as ever:-

    I was channelling my inner chimp.

  • I finally got round to watching the last 40km from Sunday. Where was Sagan when Cancellara attacked? He always seems to go missing at the vital moments, then expends a lot of energy chasing.

  • He was obsessed with getting his team mates back to work for him for some reason, even with fake calls back to the team car to make everyone wait for him whe he slowed up

  • He was on Cancellara's wheel on the Kwaremont, exactly where he should've been, but didn't have the legs to go with him.

  • Ah - I was on the turbo and missed the moment of the split. Impressive from Vanmarcke to follow Cancellara. Hope next Sunday is as good.

  • Not really. Vanmarcke is a superb rider. With a superb palmares.

  • If Sky genuinely wanted to win the cobbled monuments, they should've signed Vanmarcke.

  • 2014
    3rd Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne
    3rd Tour of Flanders
    4th Omloop Het Nieuwsblad
    4th Gent–Wevelgem
    5th E3 Harelbeke

  • If Sky genuinely wanted to win the cobbled monuments, they should've signed Vanmarcke.

    This x100. He looks like the inheritor of the Canc/Boonen mantle, along with Sagan I suppose, but he looks...harder than Sagan, but with a lesser kick.

  • Although I do think Thomas and Stannard have the potential to develop into very good classics riders

  • I ponder what Van Avermaet's results would have been over the last 3 years with a team fully in his service, instead of the shower of egos that is BMC.

  • If he had got someone willing to work in his break he would stayed clear, heroic effort

  • Good read. I wondered if Van Avermaet should have soft pedalled once it was clear that Cancellara and Vanmarcke were coming across, but if he didn't fancy his chances of following them on the Paterberg I guess he had to bury himself to crest it without them.

  • Girl in the red coat who took out Popo didn't drop her wine glass #panache

  • Michelle Cound is lighting fires on twitter again.

  • Grade A weapon.

  • Not really. I'd stick up for my beliefs in my partner.

    What's acceptable about slander and harassment?

  • Fucking hell. These people are apparently grown adults.

    Thanks Twitter.

    What's acceptable about slander and harassment?

    Her partner. Who is a professional and has more sense and dignity to comport himself like a foul mouthed navvy on a public forum.

    Aside from the fact they're together and she's apparently managing his public image (?!), it's got sweet fuck all to do with her and she should leave it to his team to handle, as they have done.

    History with Wiggo shows she's incredibly effective at shit stirring in a way that's helpful to absolutely nobody.
