Thomas. I would have laughed if I was told before the tour that he's finish in the top 30. What a joke.
Erm he already has finished top 30 twice.
2011 30th and 2014 23rd. Though any position below 15th ain't that impressive as most don't bother below that. It does show G is not your typical cobbled track guy.
That said as roturn points out his form this year is a step up and difficult to accept because he rode a decent cobbled season this year too.

Hmm, top-3 means a lot at the end of the day, if they wanna say that or not. Quintana is the only rider who can win at this point apart from Froome and you can be sure to see fireworks on some "real mountain" stages from him. |

Freaking hell, serious what is wrong with those Motorcyclists.
Seriously hope that guy is thrown straight out of the Tour and never hired again, Fuglsang is the rider and should not be the one looking for a crazy ass motorcycle. |

Yeah I got it wrong and thought he just lost balance, what actually happened? Obviously it happened when he swung off the front so did the Moto just not see him or was it a genuine accident?

The moto was already moving past when Fuglsang moved out in front of him more or less

That wasn't the motorcyclists fault though, it was just an accident. Fuglsang went hard to the right with no warning just as the motorcyclist was passing, how can he know that? Purely an accident imo.

Not sure, the pictures they have shown has stillnot shown much of what happened, but one thing is sure if i were Astana, i would file a complaint against ASO and that motorcycle straight after the stage.
That stunt costed Fuglsang the polka jersey. |

Sure, it was a accident but it´s a accident that never should happen, the motorcyclist should know that the riders might do unexpected things and be aware of that and keep a safe distance.
So this guy should be done and never allowed back. |

That last climb is a bit harder than Liggert thinks it is I reckon.
He says small hiccup... It looks to me to be nasty kicker. Quintana could well go for it!

Doesn't it have some crazy amount of hairpins or am I thinking of a different climb?
