Christophe Kern.

Thanx, that's him, he hurt Valverde and Basso, that takes some doing, what a machine.

Hahahahaha! More of a bark! "If you want loyalty, get a Froome dog… a quality I value… although being taken advantage of by others!”

 

We expect both women’s accounts will be monitored particularly keenly by fans as the race progresses for any other signs of tension, and in the meantime perhaps the best third-party tweet on the episode came from cycling writer Richard Moore, author of Slaying The Badger, who said: “Just trying to imagine the Kathy LeMond / Martine Hinault exchange had twitter been around during @1986Tour.”

I loved the facial expression of Brad yesterday sitting behind Chris in the last 5 km to the summit. Pulling faces, try to talk to him, dropping of the back. We all know who the strongest rider ia again at the Grand Tour this year. It would have been so much more entertaining for us if they were on sepperate teams. Hopefully Chris will get his time next year.

Looks to me that both the "contenders" is not really the strongest riders in their teams, that is if yesterdays stage is anything to go by.

Both Wiggo and Cuddles got put under pressure by their 2ic's.

_{For me the hero's of yesterday was Kern, Rolland, Froome and TJ. Mind you that new French rising star Pinot is a freak. Youngest rider in the Tour, already have a stage win behind him, riding it the weakest team in the Tour and still attacks the best climbers in the world and beating them.}

I would love to know what Froome said to Wiggins when he was gesticulating after he dropped back.

Pinto had a great kick at the end to go around Froome.

Cath Wiggins got a lot of comments too

Peta Todd was a lot calmer though

 

What is Michelle's relationship to Mr Froome?

[Kranswurm]

Not often.

Yeah, twitting before thinking, I reckon.

 

My wife did **** like that to me, I would be a bit peeved.

[petatodd]

Something I picked up after he dropped Wiggins and the team car called him back. He waited for Wiggins and then as soon as they joined up again his team car started talking to him over the radio, he ( Chris ) took his one hand of the handlebar, put it on his ear and listened for about 15 seconds what the teamcar has to say to him. He then pressed in his button and spoke back to them. While he was doing all of this he was in the front of the group dictating the pace looking super cool and calm and Wiggins was pulling faces and huffing and puffing behind him. Chris is a monster that came from a "good" tour rider in the last 4 years to a top GC rider in the last 10 months.

Yeah. One way or another, all it's gonna do is create unnecessary tension amongst the riders themselves.
