nah the sport's gone soft
yeah Parksey - bring back the days of cocaine and amphetamines, no helmets, spectators punching riders in the liver - real men riding like real men
(the thing that amuses me most about this post is the overall softness of the person making this call)
What a lol stage...several crashes,most caused by roadside banners.Contador,Cavendish,Sagan,Griepel and Goss all takin a tumble.Orica greenedge bus got caught under finish line banner so riders told that race was gunna finish 3km short,nek minnit bus manages to free itself by reversing and taking a side exit,all this with riders 5 mins away.Riders then told to finish as per normal and because of the lack of sprinters Kittel wins the stage FFS.Because of all the fvckups all riders given the same time.No BS one of the strangest and funniest TDF stages I have seen.
1.Kittel
2.Kristoff
3.Van Poppel
Bit of a quiet then start eh?
Buses!!!!!
Can not believe I went to bed before the finish and missed that. Woke up this morning and my twitter feed was going nuts.
Time to get on the trainer and watch the highlights I think.
yeah for sureQuote:

Well, thanks to you and xrayjets, I am not coming last.
i'm in another fantasy comp on another website, velogames i think it's called, and the points are heaps different. sagan in on like 130 in that game and 24 or something on the sbs one.
did you go to the CX on the weekend lenny? looked epic!
Nah. I wanted to but because of the Tour de Lounge I needed some km's under my belt and also didn't want to get sick when I have to ride so much. Followed the twitter feed of the race though.
Saw the photos though and it looked awesome. My wife was going to take the kids in but they didn't get there. Keep thinking a CX bike would be awesome, but after the weekends race it just looks like an ongoing bike maintenance nightmare.
For those who didn't see it, check out the NBN footage.

never saw it coming.
chavanel fined for "eating in a way that damaged the image of cycling." :what:
Now I'm no expert, but that ride from Porte and Froome last night was ****ing awesome.
Tour over?
tonight shows it might not be over, if movistar can drop froome it's game on
porte is blown
Yeah the talking heads were claiming it all the way up the last climb.Quote:

What's the thinking there you reckon? It was all set up for them but they didn't really go.
Or was Froome just to good on the counter that they didn't bother?
froome countered well and showed a lot of guts to stay with them but man movistar just really pussed out last night.
there's a good chance that they wont get another opportunity like they had last night and they kinda blew it.
totally agreed, they had 3 blokes with quintana and valverde...belkin had ten dam and mollema, even contador had someone with him
like froome said, it took some nuts for valverde to attack so early and to hold out all day, but he should have done more with quintana instead of just sending him out - still early days yet and quintana goes up hills for fun, sky got absolutely pounded today
Porte's job is to ride for Froome not to ride for himself. Sky and Porte couldn't give two ****s if Porte comes 120th as long as Froome wins the TourQuote:

i can guarantee sky will give two ****s then
he better pull his socks up

Will be needed more the day they go up this thing to protect Froome. Rest day tonight so clock off and zone out and rest up for the likes of this hill and Alpe D Huez
so cavendish. complete dick.
good look stealing a microphone.
anybody been to mont-st-michel?
bloody awesome view from up the top, amazing place. mind you, they need to cycle fast, otherwise they may not get to the finish due to the incoming tide. :D
Attachment 361
excuse the crap photography
so what exactly do you get points for in fantasy for the pro team you select?
i've had greenedge for about 6 days now and they still don't have a single point.
Cycling Teams:
Teams will score points based on the finishing positions of their riders at each stage:
Finishing Position of Rider Points
1st 10
2nd 8
3rd 6
4th 4
5th 2
you may have got around greenedge too late to get any points bruv
Ok I've got another question:
What did "eating in a way that damges the image of cycling" mean?
Referring to the fine on Andrew Talansky.
Ta.
and you dared to run me and Mr Fish out of the Science thread for equally lame attempts at humor.Quote:
