Uni Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Is this a tricksy question....I am sure I watched them pull the yellow and green over their heads. Why...mmmm cause they are the best within each of the categories friday night was listening to one friend explain the concept to another friend with a smile on my face. First time i watched TDF in 2009 I was also confused - I thought it was very unfair one guy had to keep riding back to get water for all the others .... ;-) once it makes sense it's awesome to watch - not for the withdrawal symptoms (at least it's cheaper now i can turn of DSTV again)

Frosty Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Was listening to MixFM the other day, and they had a 20-25 minute talk on the Tour.It was a dummies guide to the Tour, and if you didn't understand the lingo it may have sound very confusing.While they jumped from topic to topic, the continuity was pretty well done.
Christie Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Prize money is low compared to other pro events, like golf, considering the takings are shared.
Frosty Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Seen on Supercycling tonight, Kevin Reza (Europcar) picks up a camera from the road... http://
jcza Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Cheng was 6h02 slower than Nibali, the biggest deficient between first and last place since 1954 when Dierkens finished 6h07 behind Bobet

It makes more sense to slog it out for 7 days at the Cape Epic and more than 3x that...
