Happy for Tony Martin, awesome win for him. GC battle was a let down. Froome was under pressure a few times but they never put the hammer down. His attempt to attack was stupid though and futilely flicking his elbow at GVA while Tejay is barely hanging on the back shows how tactically clueless he is.

Glad someone else saw that. I chuckled.

Cue video from 2013 of Irish (?) peloton members mocking froomey because he couldn't grasp why they weren't going to help him on a break.

"Gee, I wonder Froomey..."

I think the country that invented the automobile (Germany) gets to dictate which side of the road should be driven on, as Brits would still be on horseback if not for them.

Just saw the replay. How long did Pinot spend berating his mechanics, anyways? Yeesh, I really liked the guy too, but that was like a petulant child throwing a tantrum

gently caress Chris Froome. That was a hell of a breakaway by Martin, he caught them sleeping. I know Sky isn't too worried though, they are probably happy that they don't have to be clenched butthole for a whole two and a half weeks.

Nibali tried and couldn't get it done in that sector.

This thread is tripping over itself to make fun of him even on a day he does everything right. So he didn't know TVG was in the lead group, who gives a poo poo? I'll go back to disliking him and how boring he rides another day. At least he's attacking this year.

He did ride a good race and I honestly thought he was going to take off at the end like Martin did eventually.

Having Geraint Thomas to tow you around all day helps I guess.

Just saw my first interview with Matteo Trentin, he's a pretty drat likable guy. I wish he would have won the yellow jersey. Even with his stupid backwards brakes.

'At least Froome attacked on the cobble stones' while being surrounded by friendly riders, and still couldn't elbow flick inspiration to others.

That'll justify a boring GC competition.

The marginal gains you see are from climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in the offseason.

He seems like a right twat and only ended up on the podium last year because the best riders crashed out.
