Reckon it's any better than drinking my own?

How has he picked up time in previous races that he has won?
Srs question. Climbing good, I guess? Was there not so much competition?

He is when he is on form, but his form fluctuates, see last years years Tour, he was pants.

You'll never know until you quaff it back. It's got a very brackish, herbal quality to it at the moment but with a slight citrus zing at the end that adds a certain je ne sais quoi

He wins a lot of races, and his climbing ability is one of his main assets.

I take your point though, there is a perception that he lays waste to his rivals by destroying them in the mountains, whereas the reality is that he is consistent and gains time cumulatively across mountain stages.

You've put it better than I could.

Fuck me. You can tell it's Friday.

kicking.off!

TBF it was his win on the stage 14 Giro in 2014 that created that impression and he's struggled to replicate it very consistently since but I still think the potential is there.

Another ill-timed poo stop for Tommy?

Looks like it is coming back together.

The gps timings are all over the place, but Dumoulin still caught behind. Luckily for him, Yates, Kruisjwijk and possibly Mollema caught out too, so he has allies.

The rumour is he'd stopped for a toilet break (no news on if it was a number one or two).

It was the peloton pee break. Guess who attacked.

There was no race radio announcement about a nature break for the maglia rosa, apparently.

Surely this is just a little bit of a response to the comments yesterday? It will all be back together in 10k.

Someone else's radio

I bet the breakaway riders are delighted

Adam Yates gone for the white shorts. Not what I expected from a lad from Bury.

All back together.

Bad form of Quintana, won't be supporting him again with these kind of lowly antics.

I hope Tom gives Nibs and Nairo a bit of advice now they're back.

I'm sure he'll be upset to hear that.

I hope neither of them need a natural break for the rest of the Tour.

I hope Tom feeds laxatives to NQ and VN.

I'll make sure to tag him on twitter thanks
