There's nothing to discuss though. I dislike him, and that's it.

Great win for Dan Martin. Also very impressive rides by Froome and Wiggins.
And once again, brilliant ride from Kessiakoff!

Another pretty funny thing is, that Shack, as in Tour, brings more than one guy for GC, but who in the end again is best placed rider from Shack in GC? |

Must say that Scarponi's tactics isn't exactly brilliant. He attacks early on the climb and then blows up completely on the higher slopes. His ride today reminded me a lot of when he blew up on Etna after trying to follow Contador.
Also, nice to see Mollema in red. Too bad he couldn't win the stage too, since I betted my PCM$ on him today.

That was amazing stage! A lot of riders finally showing their potential here, nice to see that. Hopefully, at least Fuglsang, Monfort, Roche, Kessiakoff or possibly Sorensen will ride above their exceptions in mountains, so I will have a rider to root for in this Vuelta. 
The time trial will be really interesting tomorrow, I can possibly seeing Kessiakoff going to the overall lead.

I wonder how Nibbles will do on the time trail. Maybe he can take the lead? |

I've seen/heard a few people say that Kessiakoff is decent at time trials, but i can't find anything that backs that up really. He's lost 5 minutes to Wiggins in both the Dauphine and Paris-Nice this year.
Can only really see it being Nibali or Wiggins who gains time tomorrow on the other contenders. |

Awesome stage by Mollema, Wiggins, Froome and Martin - a real eye opener. You have to wonder what damage was done to some of the riders in that crash a couple of days earlier - didn't seem to effect most of them yesterday but still.
Mollema though really stands out with two high finishes in two days - I wonder whether he can show us again in the ITT.
If one of the top TTer's gets it right on the route tomorrow the gaps could be quite big even though it is pretty flat I suspect Wiggins/Menchov could come home 45 to 60 seconds faster then guys like Kessiakoff/Nibali and Fuglsang.
But today I celebrate great ride by Wiggins - I thought it was going to be a day when he got dropped and it turned into a day that reminded us he is a guy who won a tough Dauphine this year!

I ruddy hate Eurosport sometimes. I decided to check when the Vuelta was on for the next week. (At least in the UK). It's being shoved on Eurosport 2, so not in HD... AND some days nothing at all. Tomorrow and the Angliru stage, only short evening highlights.
US Open sucks.

Done some good results in the Swedish TT championships. Not to much after Gustav Larsson. But I think that he will be around 1min after Nibali tomorrow. |

ITV full stages everyday(awful commentary though) and 1 hour highlights on the evening. |

He was fifth in the 30 km TT in Tour of Austria.

And those results (P-N, Dauphiné) he wasn't in the best shape... nothing like this one. |

I expect Bauke to lose 3 minutes to Wiggins tomorrow, but they can't take away this day. After Weening in the Giro there's another Dutchmen in the leader's jersey in a GT. |
