Now everyone has discovered Sky's kryptonite - BOSTIK

I was talking about stage 1 where 2 spaniards went home.

 

BMC caused the above crash and knocked over the rest of the okes.

 

Aahh - Sky trained in Dusseldorf rain, not just German rain. What will they think of next?

 

And by BMC you mean Katusha? Remember - German rain doesn't affect those with German connections. BMC taking marginal gains to the next level (you'll notice that TonyBot stayed up, while his non-German, Russian speaking buddies weren't spared).

We can all agree that on that corner, Marginal drains were required

Didn't scan the whole thread, so excuse me if it has been said before. What a relief not to have to sit through another 3 weeks of the "Phillipen Paul" show! No one riding like a man possessed, thank goodness!

I way preferred them to the current commentators. These guys cant talk about anything other than Aussie riders who wont actually feature much. They even go as far as to switching to other sports just so they can mention an Australian.

I just cant get over the face being made by the AG2R rider - I can't even tell who that is...

ITV4, Froome post race interview while spinning on cool down said no big issue, bit of skin, it happens in racing...
