Looks like Kwiatkowksi still has a terrible form, Lefevere needs to give him a kick in the ass because he's one of the most talented riders but doesn't work hard enough. |

in poll 4% predicted Dennis..so much of our cycling knowledge.. 
I believe before the stage he only had 1 vote. It was the bandwagoners that voted him to 4% 
you are probably right..because now he has 6% already. What is fun to predict after a race? |

It's first ITT win for Dennis since he turned a pro. After 11(!) 2nd places in ITTs and prologues since the beginning of 2013. |

Really pleased with Quintana today, only losing 3 seconds to Contador, 11 to Froome and 18 to Nibali is about the best that could have been expected. Looks like the decision to start earlier than the other favourites payed off as the wind appeared to pick up towards the end of the race.
Nairo aside, this was one hell of a weird TT! Not only did we have the speed record broken, but we ended up with oddities like Gesink finishing 17 seconds ahead of Froome This Tour looks set to be even more hilarious than the Giro!

I can't believe I used to race him locally! Great guy, really down to Earth and really deserving of the Jersey. Congratulations!
Just because I know you guys can get a bit skeptical, and rightly so, here's myself attacking him when he was riding for the Rabobank development team after he came back home to race the local team series  I guys you could say I attacked a yellow Jersey wearer?
When you can't decide between two options, flip a coin. Not because the result of the coin will choose for you, but because, in that split second before the coin lands, you'll know what side you want it to fall on. |

I would also add König at +42,very good time for him.
Crazy time by Dennis, also happy to see Pinot doing well.
Its a very good time, but im afraid (not that I care, you obviously do) that he will totally demoted to 100% helper, especially now after the Giro.
I agree, but since there are like 25 guys listed and lot of them are just super domestiques, why dont add König who even had beaten his leader. I was not correcting you or whatever, just adding a time like you did with that former trio where at least Majka and Fuglsang are also helpers...
Btw. i dont really care much bout König, at least not in postive manner. If you would actually read my posts, you would know.

Avin come on..man just finished Giro..not easy mode. Kreuziger seems to be in terrible form..your hope will be Sagan..Sagan only...
Dutch riders did ride very well yesterday. Tour of Netherlands would have been great for them.
p.s. weather did change yesterday..Dennis had a great ride..early ride decision give him yellow. |

Dumoulin ride was fun to watch..non stop screaming as fast he moved...
He was complaining that he did not hear team radio..fuck it.
It must still be superb to have such a support. |

Avin: Pretty sure Majka and Fuglsang will be the last man on the climbs, thus riders who will be kept in the GC as long as possible. I dont see Sky wanting König to ride a proper GC, if they want one of their team to do that, Thomas or Porte (yes, Porte) would be better odds. König cant ride top-10 again on Sky as a domestique with a Giro in the legs. Heck, even Poels is ahead of him.
I know you were not correcting or whatever, I just dont see König doing anything else than pulling for Froome, drop back and do it again. An no, I dont read many of your comments, so I didnt know that, but I remember you being a vivid supporter of him last year. |
