EZRider Posted September 4, 2013 Share Very interesting GC after that hilly TT Nibs in red.Roche and Horner makes up the virtual podium. And a bunch of chasers in Valverde, Basso and co. Think it's between Valverde and Nibs now.But then I've been wrong on every call!

GrumpyOldGuy Posted September 5, 2013 Share So probably a day for the sprinters today, who is it gonna be, Tyler Farrar has been noticeable by his absence so far, maybe its his turn, or maybe Boasson Hagen?.......I dunno, as I have had it wrong most times, I am covering my bases now, in all likelihood it will be some one totally out of context for the stage,........ so maybe Rodriguez.??

T-Bob Posted September 5, 2013 Share Ah nuts... I was hoping GB would pull through the whole season with out a win. It'd become such a 'thing' that now it looks like poor year. If he'd stayed winless he could have stuck with the 'got the hoops don't need to prove a thang to anyone, it's my year!' line. Now he looks like he couldn't find the line until it was pretty much done and dusted. Good on him though, EBH has had a shocker.
