Gg Froome, 4th time Tour victory. Must be nice.
It's telling really if Reto Hollenstein and Timo Roosen go faster than Porte, Contador, Quintana etc
Bleh
It really feels like GG already. Sky team is dominating and Froome is in good shape, Quintana, Porte and Contador now needs to be significantly better uphill and that aint happening while Valv crashed. |

Plus their is significantly less opportunity to really do something uphill because of the stage design. And then there's another time trial at the end. Even if it's not really long.
My PCM simulation of the Tour was.. Thomas winning start ITT, Froome already doing well, and then being one of the strongest uphill and thes trongest in the TT, winning by 3 minutes.
Looks like real life will replicate PCM for once :' |

Froome has already won after 16min on the bike!
Thomas is a good bid second place? I think he will be number two in Paris. |

I thought that when I heard d him say it. I think he was just saying that Quintana would probably be happier if Valverde wasn't in the squad, and now he's not in the squad. Didn't come out great though.

So, no one mentioned it here really apart from Spilak, but according to DFJ's math guy the Sky suits gave an advantage of 18 to 25 seconds today, and are probably illegal.

Now, UCI will do nothing as Sky uses these since the Giro, but it's interesting nonetheless as the rules are pretty clear imo.

No he most definitely isn't happy about his teammate and good friend crashed out. Valverde was also the wildcard in the moutanins, now Quintana will be alone when gas is on. |

I agree. Those bubbles on the suit clearly violate the rule that says: "It is prohibited to wear clothing or skinsuits to which non-essential elements have been added with a view to improving their aerodynamic properties..."
It wouldn't be the first time that the UCI is inconsequent in following their own rules. |

Only the first stage and British Postal are already raping the fun out of the Tour. 
Crappy weather and the amount of spectators was nowhere near the numbers in Utrecht 2 years ago.
German organizers in Düsseldorf even managed to not invite Ulrich.
Even if you know nothing about geography you will be able to clearly tell
when the race reaches belgian soil by the amount of fans alongside the road. |

Is it possible Sky could keep the jersey all 21 stages? Dont know the route very well, and has one team every held the jersey for all the stages before?
Kittel takes the jersey. Or Sagan. After 5 stage has Froome it to Paris. |

Most annoying commentator ever. And a idiot ofcorse.
If Froome or other british will attack you need to have remote mute button ready..he will scream like pig.
He shares most annoying person title with hopeless case Arberg |
