Sorry for creating the other thread. Didn't scroll down far enough because I didn't expect this to be under the May thread.

A very scary Sky-squad. I read that (a danish site) that Froome said that Porte was really improving atm and he easily was a contender for the podium, which makes it even scarier.. |

Rodriguez' twitter: "Poco más de un mes para @letour hoy probamos entreno algo más exigente!!Estos dÃas son claves para tomar decisiones!!"
Pretty sure that it means Rodriguez will train a little more and then decide whether he will ride the Tour. Afterall, i read spanish for 3 years  |

Damn, that Sky team is just too good. And it'd be nice to see Rodriguez in the Tour again.
Niki Terpstra was riding on the cobbles today. Guess who he met...

I don't see a sprinter. Oh wait, they'll attack with nine riders and ride a TTT.

Purito to target Vuelta. A wise choice I think.

Well Andy Schleck has his brother back, we won't be seeing him waiting for Frank on the climbs, they stroll out the back of the peleton hand in hand.

But it also states "Spaniard doesn't rule out the Tour de France" + "In December Ekimov stated that RodrÃguez would not participate in the Tour de France but his crash in the Giro changes things. The Spaniard has not decided yet. "One month until the Tour. Today we do a more demanding training session. The next days will be key in taking decisions." he wrote on his Twitter page"
Guess we have to wait a couple of days to be 100%. |

A non blood doped Hamilton : 36:00 (a few months before setting his time in 2000).
Is there anyone left to defend Sky when you see such a performance or should we celebrate the D-word instead of the D-day ? |
