You have come from no where, dopage my friend, we want to see your B sample

Not sure if anyone has posted up the final NSC Geeks TDF league - well done Plooks who was in the top 200 teams overall and with two men down, lets bung our hats back in for the Tour of Spain, if it gets its own thread

They keep moving and will approach next year differently, not many surprise things you can do within a three week race, just need to play your cards. October will be the time for tactics when next years route is announced beyond the Grand Depart.

Defiantly, I think they were amazed Movi Star and BMC didn't put the boot in and attack attack attack much earlier. They must be preying for the return of a long TT next year, as I doubt they will gain in the first week next year.

Apologies if this has already appeared but its a great Montage of the Go Pro cam shots in this years Tour, I just love all the sound recordings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkTQTIo0_4c

Scorchio Sí señor, pronto todos sean españoles locas carreras

Le cose buone arrivano per chi sa aspettare

La Vuelta es una vida de distancia cuando se desea el Tour

Où est le Tour

I must add, I love a Time Trial, brilliant to set up with food, chair and start time list, near the end of a long one, and watch the race go by one, by one, with lots of catches and battles. Mountain TT even better, this was a great one, We were 2 of 1.5 million people on the mountain side...

Cut off point at only 68k today, so thats only 38k time some Froome would need to get in some serious position right now to not be able to get there. Last 70 k the peloton can bowl along while the TT loners and Sprinting teams ramp it up. Wonder if Cav not having a train today may suit him...

It would also take a lot of effort to time trial away on a very flat stage from a peloton that will work for 5 and 6 sprinters teams that want a fast finish and their man to win. If Quintana manages that then he can have win and all the spitting and urine that would come with it. Lizzie...

Valverde will be glued to Nibali all day today

They are unwritten rules anyway, so almost impossible to change or debate, bit like the pass it back to the opposition or put the ball out of play for an injury in football, its not in the rules and can be frustrating often. The podcasts last night were implying it suited Nibali because he...

Last day for your climbers to score points, then I just need a Cav win in Paris without Martin and Renshaw, not sure, but at least Lizzie may do the business in the women race

One of the podcasts last night was saying that the stealing/employing of mechanics and ideas from other teams is now so massive and that the rules of waiting for riders with 'mecahical's' is outdated, especially now that mechanics are so close on the course and spare parts wheels, team mates...

Quintana looked good today, may give him the boost to really take it to Froome tomorrow, any chance of Quintana yellow and Froome in Polka dots for Paris.

Froome spat at and hassled again today - do the proved dopers in this race get any grief!

Quality quote when your knakered

This is the Quintana stage.. It's the day that too riders could go early and try to get away and build time. It does not suit Sky's tempo riding to stop attacks - it's about teams isolating Froome and seeing if they can break him by getting him to pull back and break attacks.
