    Considering all of Sky's training prep for this tour was focused on riding for Froome..

    Could he not have just pretended he was still riding for Froome... Would've made a better showing than he has done so far.

    Actually turns my stomach watching him go down that fast. I could never take that risk.

    This may have been mentioned before but some of the spectators are idiots - waving flags etc in the cyclists' faces etc.

    You won't be saying that when your life savings investment in Toochie underwear pays off. You can do a few K's on your Tacx trainer against your friends watching your bora extractor remove the steam from your saucepans WITHOUT A COOKER HOOD!

    and then can get some dodgy loan with 2000% interest for a holiday in Israel and when I have the crap bombed out of me i can get a personal injury lawyer to settle my compensation claims

    Nibali has just dropped Horner with 9km to go. Only question is whether that's too far to go

    He can afford to be caught by a few of them, only needs to finish in the top 6 to keep the KOM jersey.

    I agree, I think he panicked and will finish outside top 3 as a result of the race for 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc.

    He should have sat tight and followed wheels tothe flame rouge

    The Majka - Pinot/Peraud/Van Garderen gap seems to be stable at the moment. Really hope he stays ahead

    I have a bet on Valverde to finish on the podium, so I'm torn between my hatred for him and wanting to make money, I don't know what I want to happen.
