And the speed of the caravan before the race comes through throwing the freebies out. :eek:

 

That must be one of the kakkest jobs on the tour, driving one of those mobile show stands and having to deal with all the fans demanding something every day for 3 weeks...

The Peloton on the Champs is fast, but even faster is any poor guy that had a mechanical and is trying to catch up - 2 inches behind any team car that will have him! Awesome!

 

My fav quote of the last stage was from Cav - "I was pushing 1500 watts and usually when I do that I win by a few bike lengths"

 

Froomes speech was cool. Looking forward to seeing him in November :-)

“I would have loved to have been there and would have found it very difficult to watch. I’ve just been trying to focus on positives, really, rather than sitting depressed in front of the TV. I only watched the first stage, as I heard the bus had knocked the finish line down. I followed it from afar but it was too painful to watch.”

Wow, I thought we'd all got over that one. Wiggins results last years were great, I'm fairly sure he's not wondering what could of been.

Pity, riders have been invited to look for other teams.

Will miss this team jersey in the peloton.

Ahh No - really loved this little orange team.. sad!

Really sad! Think they really pushed it to stay in the game for this year already. The Spanish economy is suffering and we might see more Spanish sponsored teams loosing pulling out in the next year or 2. Movistar comes to mind

“I'm disappointed... but content to be there as [part of] the best team. That leaves a good taste in the mouth... We have to analyze what went wrong going into next year... We will do everything to beat Chris Froome.”
