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.

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.
-
• #1358
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
-
• #1359
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.

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.

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.

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