I have no audio here and I can't figure out the strategy. What is Saxo-T up to? Is this where they give up and work for the rest of the peleton just to be good okes?

[Big H*]

Yesterday I was waiting on top of a hill near Parys while these techy Telecommunication Nerds who were trying to fix some sort of alarm. We should have been within Driftah range close to Jhb by 16h00 but no, blinking flashing lights and loose wires on a TM3 fascinates these perverts!!!!!!!! Only got home at 7:30

AG2R and Movistar is threatening their lead in the Team Classification...

They're pushing to catch the bunch ahead of them.

Defending 2nd for Contador as well as defending best team. Scared of Movistar and Quintana.

 

Edit- beat me to it.

There is a relatively large group of riders about 3'00" behind the peloton that is 11'00" behind Hesjedal. Included in this 'grupetto' is the 2011 Tour champion Cadel Evans who is now riding along with sprinters like Mark Cavendish...

 

Oh, Cadel...

[Bub Marley]

Thanks Cadel for providing us with this years comedy moments.

His last Tour.

He'll be very disappointed.

 

Achievements wise - one of the special talents around with several GT podiums and rainbow colours in both road and MTB.

 

Wow!

 

RESPECT

No Hulk Hogan

[SwissVan]

No.

 

I think they quite cool, suits him...all though I don't think I would cycle with them much prefer a smaller shape that doesn't make me look like Bennie boekwurm.

 

Normally if i'm riding and kakking uphill the sunglasses are the first thing I ditch (put into the back pocket), feels more comfortable when compared to wearing glasses and sweating behind them

Apparently there is a storm in someones tea cup about 'berto's bike changes being legal yesterday.

 

---------

 

"According to Velo News, each of Contador's bikes was weighed, and each was found to be exactly 6.8kg," writes Pat Pen.

 

They wrote: 'Contador made two bikes swaps during the stage, one prior to the first ascent up l’Alpe d’Huez, and one on the flat road before the second accent. The bike checks were announced between the two swaps, leading to speculation that Contador was forced to back off a long-range attack to swap back onto a UCI-legal bike for the finish climb. That doesn’t appear to be the case. UCI technological coordinator Mottet confimed with VeloNews that both of Contador’s bikes were checked following the stage, and both came in at exactly 6.8kg'."

if both were the same then why change
