If it's gonna happen it'll happen to G, bless him.

True, but then you have to have faith that Dave has a plan to stop it happening that no one else has, because they are too stupid to have thought of it or too lazy to implement it

BMC have comparable budgets and they still ride like Cofidis.

I'm taking the 2/1 on G falling off whilst sipping champagne from the team car as my first bet of this tour.

I was thinking about the 'arm in arm' ride down the Champs while Tommy D wins the stage by 2 mins.
Them 'palacing' their money kind of proves my (& Dave B's) point thoughBMC have TJVG as a GC back up.
I rest my case

Sorry, but only Le Tour could get away with this level of televised lameness. Yesterday wax watching a single bloke on a bike go past then waiting 2 and a bit minutes for the next bloke to go by. Today is a leisurely sunday afternoon peddle round Paris. Almost makes F1 look thrilling. As always, the French scenery is the clear winner.

Comparable in that they're the only team, along with Katusha, that come anywhere close. Not comparable as in the same.
But you're right. I should stop the 'bitching' and celebrate this dominance. It makes for great entertainment. Well done Team Sky

Fantastic overhead pictures in that run in – well done TV director.

Exactly what I said to Mrs. Mahone. They should stay with aerial shots to the line in all sprint stages, IMHO.

Pogue, as its G that’s won, are the French still anti Sky. I ask as I assume you’re out in French France atm??

I am indeed in French France. The French don't like Sky, at all, but begrudgingly find it difficult to dislike G. As would anyone.
The anti-Sky attitude was summed up very well in that article you posted earlier - it's a bit like anti Man U, Real Madrid etc. attitudes.
But everyone loves G.

I reckon every cycling and sports fan probably does. Takes a very hard heart not to like G and be genuinely pleased for him here. Even the piss taking about him staying on his bike feels just like banter with a mate.
Superb scenes in that post race interview of his yesterday
