I think we know what'll happen.

With experience, his timing will improve.

 

What a talent.

 

Put some feathers on his head and he looks like the Mayan priest from Cotopactequil. I wonder if he sacrifices a virgin with the full moon?

One thing i'm not missing is the steak munching pistol shooters victory salute.

 

Go Vroome Froome

“I'm very happy that I took some important points and that I put on a show when we got caught by the bunch; this wheelie that I did was for fun, it's for the people – it makes a nice photo, no? I was doing this while the bunch was riding flat-out...”

“I had the illusion that I would win the stage but at the end I lacked strength. I gave everything I had, but this was a very difficult climb and the whole day had been raced at a fast pace. I'm absolutely exhausted. I can see Chris Froome on the trainer now but I can only think about rest. I thought he'd be less strong than he was but he produced a violent effort and just could not follow...

I don't want to chose between a place on the podium or the white jersey – I want both. For now, I will defend the white jersey.”

Rolland's legs came off today after burning himself in the chase for the break

 

[Eugene Oppelt]

“Today was a terrible day for me. It’s another day that I could not live up to my expectations... That is sport. You do everything you can to prepare. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. It didn’t turn out like we wanted. I have to forget it and try to recover as best I can for the final week. I still want to do something in this Tour. I still want to get some sort of results, but to win, I have no chance.”

While we weigh up the #TDF questions, breaking news is that Tyson Gay has tested positive. Follow @JulietMacur for developments.

I questioned the acceptance of genetics a while ago, and got flamed... hahaha

Track & field is getting battered today. Two throwers and two more sprinters from Jamaica have tested positive. Two are Olympic medalists.

This tour is breaking Cadel mentally and physically. He would have been better off staying in bed. I don't think he will recover from this anytime soon. Tata Cadel

Maybe it would have been best for him to do the giro and then focus on the vuelta....the tour is just to hard this year for him.

What a talent.

I also think he went too early. With 14 km to go. If he waited until there were only 5 left , it would have gone different for him. Well maybe. By the way, for everybody speculating, froome was 2 min slower than LA an Pantani
