I hear the cobbles in stage 5 was a fun time for everybody.
After Froome goes down, Nibali and his two capos haul rear end. Around one turn, they tiptoe on the wet cobbles, but one guy still goes down on the sidewalk right in front of Nibali, who pulls up, gives him a "wtf, dude?" look, and keeps going.

Didn't he bunny hop someone else who fell off in front of him?

It is currently extremely hot in the Netherlands, with temperatures on Saturday possibly breaking the all-time record. Utrecht is predicted to be at 38 degrees that day (about 100F), Sunday will be cooler.

I've told pretty much everyone else in my life now, so I'll tell you all too: it's no big deal, but Taylor Phinney came to my birthday party last week. One of many perks of Colorado living.

The best part of the team presentation yesterday was Froome thanking the locals, just like the Sky people has taught him. He then followed it up with some sort of lazy PR wave, and then there was silence.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

UCI have apparently started testing at night. One tour contender apparently got woken at 2am for a test.

That is going to cause problems. I am anti-doping but don't think waking random riders at 2 am during a Grand Tour is the right thing to do. Rest is so crucial, waking Froome but not Contador will give an unfair advantage.

Do you think before you post? Have you ever had anything you love taken away from you? Especially when that thing also happens to be your main income source and pretty much what your life has been devoted to since age 10? Would you rather he be a publicly broken husk for your own amusement?

The fact that he's still riding bikes and having fun despite all of it is a positive thing. Don't be a fuckwad.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

what if i called him a piss baby retard who failed and deserves to never be able to ride a bike again, even on his own time for fun

i don't actually think that but you seem like the sort of person to get real worked up over words on the internet

I'm hosed. On holiday with the missus and her family so I won't be able to watch anything. Might try to sneak away and have a look but it could end in disaster.

From pages back but I'm tired of people saying "hiding out in Colombia". The Colombia where he was born and raised and has a great altitude training environment. Lack of TT in this year's tour will be great for this lil' dude.

It's bullshit though. He's been training, he's been tested, who cares where he spends his time? If anything I like him more for not holing himself up on a volcano for the last two months and emerging only for a stage race he doesn't really care about winning.
