Soooooo, the podium were all TDF finishers and 2 of them were on the TDF podium and the other won the last 2 stages. 

Who was the highest finisher that left TDF early to prepare?

I think we will see shortly

DSTV ai ai ai ... instead of programming for XCO on 207 as scheduled I see Darth Vader types with emaciated unlit sabers tapping each other #SMK

Isn't it scheduled for 8am? Still 13 minutes

Highest placed guys that didn't ride the TDF were: A.Yates in 9th, Schachman in 10th, Almeida in 13th.

Fuglsang I guess is the highest  of the guys that pulled out of the tour in 12th, but he pulled out after stage 20, so I dunno if he really counts.

Apart from MVDP, I'm not sure who else pulled out specifically to prep for the Olympics. Roglic and S. Yates abandoned mid race, but I don't think that was really to prep for the Olympics. It was more due to injury. If they hadn't crashed, there's no chance either of those guys would have abandoned the tdf.

Those okes with the white tri suites.... They should be killed, disqualified or both...

The dude that won collapsed just after the line, and then was chundering all over the carpet there, and the worst thing I saw was still the white tri suites.

Hardly surprising, MvdP had a great start and missed the chaos at the first bottleneck, sitting comfortably with the front group.

Anyone know what happened to Hatherly? Don't see him anywhere

Sounds more like a doctor of philosophy than mathematics!

I wonder what the Ph in PhD stands for...
