As in "no better timing to do so" or as in "I want to get rid of that guy soon"??

More of the 2nd part. He's one of the only riders I don't like. Never really liked him. Don't know why. Plus I get annoyed when he speaks

Everyone entitled to their own opinion obviously.
Hell, I like Andy and I loathe Alberto, even though their personality and attitude over the recent years strongly suggests I should do the other way round.

I'm sorry but i have to ask. Do you really prefer all the boring and generic answers we get these days to Jens Voigt? Atleast he tries to be funny and voice his opinion.
I don't really get the part were you don't like him as a rider either. He rides aggresive and he rides to win.
But as Cio mentioned everyone is entitled to their own opinion. |

Or you can hate both, lime me. 
Jens!!!!!
By the way Avin, when do I collect my bounty?
Sagan's pulls weren't hard at all anyway if you look at the replay.

Matthews also did pulls for a while until about 15ks to go where he stuck back.
Great win from Jens. Took everyone by surprise. |

Yup. Tyler Farrar just beat Sagan.
And last time too. Great win for Farrar, i almost forgot this man can win a stage.
You wanna bet on that?
We can, are the pcms transferable?
Maybe if we can get an admin here. Can we met a bet here? Admin come help us. And with Farrar's odds I will take tons.
It seems you have won, shame for you we did not finished the bet talk.
But i can give you credit though.
Farrar is in great form right now.
Jens winning, that is the best thing that can happen!
Edit: Btw. July is what matters BB.

Sagan got a sweet award after his win in 3rd stage. The girl that did it to him was obviously sexist, i think Peter was not asking for this humiliation.
Btw. he says that it is crazy and not good for a cyclists to ride in such a heat and he has big problems with it, being now used to colder weather in Europe (maybe this is also one of the keys for Farrar and Matthews succes?Both should be pretty used to riding in heat) . Sagan's teammate Da Dalto had to be transported right to hospital because of exhaustion. This is stupid...

Doing an effort implies producing energy, heat and water, which happens with the combustion of fat and sugar (to make it simple).
Heat and water have to be eliminated, whereas energy goes to the bike.
Water is eliminated through breathing and sweating, but heat ? Normally the air around cools the riders. But the amount of energy that's dissipated in the air is proportional to the difference between riders bodies and the air floating around. When the air floating around is hotter than bodies temperature (38°C during effort), that can become a problem, cause extra sweating, and ultimately exhaustion. |
