Oh, you mean the guy who has supposed to ride Giro and was speculated to finish at least podium there? Sure, yeah, that guy came way out of nowhere... Because teams arn't allowed to have more than one GC contender. 
No, because he was here as a helper and all of a sudden is in better shape than I expected. Didn't think his form was this high. |

Yes, I see. I'm surprised by his form rather too, especially since he has been rather shit all year due to... stuff. But he has shown glimpses in the Dauphine and has done better than Nibbles in my book.
I remember people joking last year that Porte would win le Tour 2014, doing it similiar to Froome. Well. How crude reality can be.

Hm, I'm just wondering, exactly what has happened today that would want to make you read 20 to 30 pages of it?

He's quite good on hills too. See TDU and 13' Pais Vasco results among others.
Yep, not that much controversy in the tour left after Froome left.
But the site is still busy after all Fatigued got 400+ votes to win the eurosport competition from the site 
I doubt that was all from us. He's on a couple PCM sites and has a pretty good youtube following.

There is other pcm sites?
Anyways ya you might be right, the tour threads do seem dead compared to previous years. |

It was like there was a race to be the first person to report something. In the end, 10 people would always say the same thing.
Today for example, there would have been 10 posts about the pouring rain

The stage gave us everything we could have hoped for today 
Shame that the big guys didn't get to fight for the stage, but what a ride from Kadri. |

lol and what happened in stage 5.
It was probably the stage that decided who wins TdF 
Not to mention Froome crashed and was left out. |

Now you're just making conversation to reach the 11th page
Rui Costa claims his chain jumped off, hence why he lost some terrain in the last climb. Hopefully he's all out of bad luck now.

Wait for the real mountains. All of the 3 riders that are with Contador now have also done the Giro.
Spot on but i must admit its a joyful surprise that Rogers and Roche are pacing like this and particular it was superb they got Nibali isolated with only 1-2 riders to help.
But of course Nibali just wheelsuck , what a terrible rider and undeserving winner if this goes on to the end.
That last part must be pure trolling right? If not then i'm just baffled. |
