Gen Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 The man is certainly talented when it comes to bike handling Oi. I would've fallen down just taking the tool ..
'Dale Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Sagan has yet to finish outside the top 5 at the Tour. The last man to match that level of consistency though the first seven stages of the Tour was Charles Pélissier all the way back in 1930.
TALUS Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Oi. I would've fallen down just taking the tool ..You need to practise that more... Sorry, could not resist.
Joe! Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Sagan has yet to finish outside the top 5 at the Tour. The last man to match that level of consistency though the first seven stages of the Tour was Charles Pélissier all the way back in 1930. Interestingly in 1984 Laurent Fignon finished in the Top 5 places for 7 stages in a row (stages 14 to 20 inclusive). He also won 3 of those stages and won the tour that year when Hinault was 2nd. As you say his record is for the first seven stages.
tombeej Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Stage win on the cards for my lighty Simon Yates? That will definitely make my day.
Jaco-fiets Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Don't think Astana cares much. The lead will dwindle down to about 3min at the finish. Smart money must be on Chavanelle

Thug Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Looks like the UCI have just published the list of UCI registered cyclists that have been banned. Denis Menchov is on that list... http://www.uci.ch/Modules/BUILTIN/getObject.asp?MenuId=MTU3Mjg&ObjTypeCode=FILE&type=FILE&id=Nzk5OTY&LangId=1
Frosty Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 I'm reading some news on the Cyclingnews Tour Tracker...17:11:59 CEST Remember Denis Menchov? Remember how he retired in May 2013 citing a knee injury? It turns out that he was actually handed a two-year ban for a biological passport violation. Funny that the UCI didn't announce this ban at the time, and the news has only come to light now (inadvertently?) after the publication of a list of banned riders on the UCI website. Farcical.
Thug Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 confirmed about Menchov.. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/menchov-stripped-of-tour-de-france-results
