Tour de France 2015

There are not even any good French riders in the peloton now

He has got a point.

Maybe stick to armchair cycle punditry. At least that is vaguely interesting.

The role they play is very different from the role he thinks they should play.

the weather might make the stage even more interesting today; chance of thunderstorms

Is Jock a derogatory term?

So the Giro is the time trialists choice now? What the hell, is Colombian drug money bribing the organisers to let Quintana win?

More yawning

I didn't want to like this, but I did. Worth a read;

The fact Ms Clemitson was herself observed screaming "doper" at Chris Froome on the Champs Elysee in 2013 does make that a remarkably balance piece.

Someone must have editted the fuck out of it

If Sagan had a DS that didn't seem to think the most important thing for him to do is parade him around like some Slovakian Bentley he just put 26in spinners on I think Sagan could be the Next Generation Cancellara and have his pockets full of Spring Classic and GT stage wins by age 29.

Yeah that was just downright rude, and saying they're never going to win it for another 20 years, and that the power in cycling is with the anglo-saxons and Eastern Europe

Certainly a lot more balanced than her tweet today. Then she complained about being insulted on her birthday. Pro life tip: stay away from Twitter on your birthday.

Whether Oleg likes it or not, the power in procycling is wielded from France.

Pro life tip: stay away from Twitter on your birthday.

Pro Tip 2: If it's not a well known fact (i.e. you're not famous) then don't tell the world (via twitter or whatever) when your birthday is

Is Jock a derogatory term?

Yes, because it implies that someone is Scottish.

Sagan needs to get a team behind him. None of his 2 leader business. Didn't work at sky with Cav and wiggo either.

Sagan trying to get in the break again, the guy's a maniac!

Contador will retire by the end of next season.

Risk of Oranges today. Looking forward to that.

Sounds like today would have been a good day to have coverage from the off..

yeah, they're going mental for the break. Europcar are going to be all over it.

"Bikes, what's not to like?"

*bang*

What's happened to van Garderen?

No news other than he's dropped off the back
