601

Pinot is 4 seconds ahead of him.

602

4 seconds behind Pinot is that right? If so can easily make that up tomorrow. Saturday will be very tough for him though. Not a tt course that suits him

Just one positive test away from the top 10 :clap:

605

I think he will gain more time on Pinot tomorrow. Pinot is the better TT, but he seems to be going backwards. I think Roche will have enough in hand after tomorrow to hold onto 10th.

606

Pinot and Rollande are vulnerable all right but Kloden can gain couple of mind on him in tt so hopefully he can put more time into him tomorrow (gap to Kloden is 1 min 30ish I think)

607

Not in Luxembourg at the moment but I can only imagine that the grand duchy is reeling at the revelation of Frank Schleck’s doping.
A sad sad time for us 'bourgers.

Wiggins gets 1,2million, Evans2.5m. I think Gilbert gets 2,8. Most in the range 150-350k range.

610

Roche beat Pinot by two minutes and Rolland by 2,5mins in first TT. Hopefully he can hang in there today.

Can soneone open a shit munching thread for the baby so that he can go off and talk to himself there rather than here?

612

Stage 2 rattled :slight_smile:

It’s just too easy sometimes

613

thedancingbaby is cleaning house in this thread :clap:

614

Theres about 20 in the breakaway at the moment including MARTIN, Menchov, Cobo, Voeckler, Rolland, Casar, Taarame, Kessiakoff

615

Voeckler beats Kessiakoff to top of first mountain. Rolland a distant third

616

Descending is treacherous as there is a thick fog. Can’t see too far ahead.

Will someone take a risk?!?!?

617

Zubeldia has been dropped on the first climb. Very misty out there, this promises to be a very interesting stage.

618

Nibali has attacked and joined the breakaway on the descent

619

Nibali has 30" on Yellow Jersey Group. Zubeldia is a further minute back

620

Nibali was told in no uncertain terms to fuck off by the others in the breakaway. And he has sat up and is back in peloton
