Apparently Bernie Eisel grabbed a burger from someone at the side of the road at the TdY...

All these answers and more, AFTER THE BREAK.

I've been burnt supporting Ryder and Uran too many times now.

Ryder's never not fun to watch though. Mad attacks and putting his big old frame through more than most to get up the big climbs.

Yeah you are right, I personally think the time of team-wide doping has long gone anyway, its just whether teams choose to look the other way if a rider is at it. I just get narked when Sky put out GT teams with no Brits. I had a similar moan last year.

Dumbrowski

I always got the impression he was rather intelligent

You don't need to be a trackie to know how to watch a single opponent in a sprint.

Looked like he was fucked and turned off his brain for a bit, You can't do that with TV, unless of course he's currently bathing in cashmoneyyo from Tommy.

Is Lance actually an innocent pawn?

+20W if he just taped his ears down.

Ha, whoops. I bet he's heard that one before.

And that one.

He was always too cool for Sky.

I am actually intrigued by the chap with yorkshire puds around his neck ..

Fans can be so cruel. :)

It's just so creepy and gross, especially when he was doing it repeatedly after he'd snatched the KOM on the road to make sure the camera had got him, errrr

It just makes him look like a sex pest.

Just watched a couple of the 'highlights' shows for Romandie that were shown on the Bike channel....both stages 5+6 shows a portion of the race up until 40km to go, has an ad break, and then for stage 5, it shows Froome rolling across the line for the win, and for stage 6 it completely misses the sprint, and shows a slow-mo of Quintana crossing the line. Does someone actually edit this? Why do they even bother?

I liked the editing of the TdY stage 2 highlights where they left in a bit of Imlach doing an intro, then saying 'nah, I don't like that' and starting the bit again.

Pro!

I wondered what the fuck was going on with that. I was busy doing other shit and had to rewind/play a few times before I realised the issue wasn't mine.

it's on! looking forward to this Giro, surely going to see the peloton race on Sat or Sunday.

Good start for Doumolin.
