How Sagan stayed upright when Cancellara went down was unbelievable, unrale even.

The twins are on the Xbox now with that shitty minecraft muck. Link please!!!

Whisht, Sky Go has it, phew.

Vanmarke absolutely hammering it into the corners

Unrale at the end. Great win for The Auzzie

Dan Martin finished 3rd overall in the Dauphine Libere. Second on the final stage. Froome won the overall. Dan seems to be in good form coming into the Tour.

Saw his finish on the queen stage, fought off Froome to claim 3rd on the stage after the two lads who broke away from FJR and AG2R. Can he sustain it over 3 weeks, time will tell. Has good form though, would be a good bet for a stage win at least.

Sky has them all prepared.

I thought you were a believer?

Saw a rerun of the last stage the other night when he came second. Martin is absolutely flying. Very similar to the famous uncle in pedalling style. A great chance of a stage win. I’d fancy him to win one of the stages in the Pyrenees, maybe the one to Andorra. Timetrialling will be his weakness but still a good chance of top 5 this year IMHO.

I think he has an excellent chance of a top 3. I’m no believer. I suspect they are designer drugging. I actually think froome is relatively clean. He looked like an alien at the dauphine.
Brailsford is a complete cunt. He’d happily look away at the opportune moment, claim all the credit going, and castigate, scapegoat and deny if anything came up.
I like froome. I like Dan Martin. I dislike sky.
They are likely all cheats.

Did you see the way three of them rode up to Froome’s group to control the pace on the last stage? It was Armstrongesque.

Oops, been drinking. Thought tbiswad private. Deleted.

No Nico Roche on the Sky Tour de France team, has he been injured?

Haven’t seen much of him this year. He wasn’t riding the Dauphine so that was a bad sign. Maybe he is focusing on the Vuelta.

I believe he’s heading to Rio for the Olympics. It’s a shame, and a surprise, that he’s been omitted from the Sky squad. I would have thought he would have been a good lieutenant for Froome up in the mountains.

They might have some better prepared guys.
