This is another example of a (hopefully) clean race. Trying earlier and working harder to a clean rider goes at a price. That'll be the next day. Many a rider would have attacked Froome on the first day. Juiced up or transfused in some 'super' blood that evening, before doing it again. Repeat...

It's one thing asking AVV to sacrifice his hundreds of thousands of Euro's in prize money, bonuses, and potential earnings, it's another thing him actually doing it. Anyway neither Quintana or Valverde came across as men sitting at home on Monday saying 'blimey I wish I'd ridden harder'. On Alp...

The five highest recorded sprint speeds were: 78.48 km/h (48.77 mph) – John Degenkolb (Stage 5) 76.46 km/h (47.51 mph) – André Greipel (Stage 8) 75.13 km/h (46.68 mph) – Peter Sagan (Stage 7) 64.67 km/h (40.18 mph) – John Degenkolb (Stage 10) 62.96 km/h (39.12 mph) – Thomas De Gendt (Stage 18)...

Blimeyo hace calor allí.

Reminding me of another classic moment. Rendell doorstepping Virenque attempting to get to the bottom of his PED comments.

In all honesty it's nice to have my luck reinforced. Results like that have allowed me to cut my flutters down to 1 or 2 a year, as opposed to a couple a month. For that my bank account is considerably happier. As the geeks will tell you, I can predict the 1-2-3 of any stage race, just by...

Has Chris Froome joined Britain's greatest road cyclists? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/33670427 Chris Froome: Where does he rank among British cycling greats? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/33663653

It'll certainly make next year interesting. In what should be another straight shoot out between Nairo and Chris, will the French learn to trust Froome & Sky's panache free style? Cummings' win was originally an MTN in general, point, in preparation of sticking it to Cofidis. But remembering SC...

Review Time Well that certainly was an enjoyable tour. I can't think of too many days without a highlight or talking point. I'm even struggling to pick out a villain, beyond some of the media, in with all the hero's. Froome - Rode to perfection. G - Did everything brilliantly, including his...

Yeah, I allowed myself just a fiver, as I started to think I should double up win & ew. Naturally at that point I convinced myself I was throwing twice the amount of money away, so left it. Hopefully someone had a little flutter @ 40/1, just with more sense. Lil Miss Stat came in with a...

Only losers bet eachway :facepalm: :lol: Welcome back, I've been enjoying your Strava. All that looking up must have put a strain on your neck.

Nuts. I hate cycling :cry:

I think we'll get bored of those quite quickly, as great as they are now and have been this year I'll be disappointed if next years route keeps with punchy 2km climbing finishes. I think the Telegraph boys were asked about a route with no HC climbs. They were against the idea but admitted the...

The weather on the Champs would appear to be a great leveller. #believeinbrian.

It's the 3 km sign. I'd love to see how the rider that decides today's stage is balls out from the drop of the flag, is treated by the peloton when they cross the line. I very much doubt the gendarmes have a big enough force to keep the rider safe from a bunch of skinny, poorly tanned, men...

That's a little harsh, on our Bri. I'm prepared to accept he might not be in the same postcode when the winner crosses the line. But that doesn't rule him out of a top 10 finish. I'm happy to admit I went a little 'hatstand' when Nibali climbed off. Anyone would think Buckley had scored v...

The man who's face will be all over the front of every European news outlet. While I'm £170 richer. Yes I did it, I couldn't help myself :down: A fool and his money, although at least I've been smart enough to save my only bet until the last stage. As my prognostications clearly show I'd be...

Not cricket. To attack CF today Quintana will have to do it while Froome is drinking champagne and posing for photographs. While hoping one of his teammates isn't either the shortest or tallest rider in the race, as he'll be on an ill-fitting bike.
