No offense but I think that comment shows how many ppl still believe in a clean cycling world...we just saw a great stage and to immediatly start saying stuff like OMG MAYO DOPED! is stupid imo because then it seems like that is the first thing you think off after you had watched this great stage, you can also say: well done Mayo but no he's suddenly doped again (which is not true since he has never been caught actually). I watch cycling because I love the sport and when I see such performances I just think wow this really is a great sport and I don't think about OP, the dope or the rider's past, if I would watch cycling with the thought 'he;s doped' than their would be no more joy in watching cycling atleast for me
again no offense but just my 2 cents

you're right Justin. Thomas' comment I think was aimed as a bit of a jab at that, which is why I thought it was funny, but the rest is just tiring and unfair. and I'm also to blame for that. |

Mayo was fantastic today, only overshadowed by Moreau's performance (Ras, did well but we're used to that now)
Moreau was great he did it all on his own and that Spanish twat denied him a podium by cheekily sprinting away at the finish, the least he could do after leaving all the work to Moreau was give him the 3rd place

it only shows that the smart riders win, well.. mayo didnt win but he beated the rest of his group by waiting for the others to show weak signs. then he sprinted away and got some seconds at the end. but rasmussen, his just the best. shame i sucks in TT |

I think Rasmussen might surprise us this year. I think everyone might just let him go on these breaks a couple more times as they think he's just going for the KOM jersey, no matter how many times he says otherwise, and a couple more of these, and he's got a serious lead

mayo only got away because they let him. they watched each other and let Mayo go without looking at him twice. literally.

no way they'll let him go. he's in yellow.

I am with isso at 100%...and no more solos for this year in yellow.I wont be surpised if top group come in to climb and Rasmussen (yellow) is in the group. They just drop him.

I'm probably wrong, but with the way those guys raced yesterday (stay in pack for a long time), you never know.

I don't think Rasmussen will be dropped easily by other favourites.... |

No, he looked very strong yesterday, and I reckon he won't lose a lot of time if any for the next few stages

Hmm, I think Gerdemann will collapse eventually, probably in the third week. |
