In Saturday morning’s LÉquipe, Nibali was afforded a full-page splash in which he declared "Wiggins doesn’t impress me." Asked if he had revised his opinion after spending the afternoon at such close quarters to the Englishman, Nibali allowed himself a smile. "My impression was that the strongest acceleration came from Froome and not from Wiggins," he said

Cadel thought he had this one stitched up. The look on his face when Froome came past. As they say, priceless. And Froome's performance on that ramp, breathtaking.

Tell Jo some of us in SA care, and well done. It's a brilliant achievement.

I made a thread here, but sadly you ignored it.

Oh my. Thank you. I needed that laugh more than I realised.

PS, yahoo them? Fark me. At least bing em?

Me neither. Your friend weedmod mentioned them for neutered dogs the once.

Everytime I see you talking about an inbetweener, I think of those fake dog testicles.

Yeah, I said earlier, I love this oke for his attitude.

Well, two weeks and we'll know.

Thank The Lord.

Reckon he'll stick with green.

People make fun of Phil and Paul, but a few years back already, Paul noted this guy, P n P actually know their stuff.

Oh, ya, and Froome gets the dotty shirt after today.

Even? He's a future winner of this race. I was surprised how well Roland did as beaten up as he is. I was even more surprised at how poorly Tejay went.

Hey old fart. Did you see, just like that, Sagan is nearly 12 minutes behind in the white jersey competition. You must have been p!ssed when you thought he could win it.

It was a day for Team Sky, who put two men on the podium and took the yellow jersey. Stage winner Chris Froome and new race leader Bradley Wiggins stole the headlines, with Froome's extraordinary acceleration away from Cadel Evans in the last few hundred metres of a brutal finale taking the breath away. After all the work he had done on the front in support of Wiggins, it was an astonishing show of strength. Nibali's fourth place on the day moved him up to third overall in the GC, behind Wiggins and Evans. He is not likely to allow the two pre-race favourites to have everything their own way over the next fortnight. Neither, on this form, is Froome.

Yeah, stupid comment by splat is stupid.

Praise from Contador: @Contador_Notebk Hand it to Froome, he's a very nice man as well as a strong rider.

@cyclingnews The sight of Froome pulling effortlessly away from Evans at the finish will live long in the memory. In most teams he'd be number one. And he's up to 9th overall.

Good Lord. No need to be so dramatic. Whatever happened, it was part of racing.

You will lose cash with that.
