The word 'unbelievable' has been stressed very heavily by the eurosport guys a lot.

I do a double-take every time I see the finishing straights because it appears to be sponsored by Meldonium.

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.
The guy in the full cat suit tripping on a moto and face planting as well as the US Postal kit dude almost make up for it. (Giro)

Cat Suit Guy (who was well old) was keeping a respectful distance imo and shouldn't get run down by Mr Moto. It's a bad precedent and probably illegal.

This is getting pretty interesting. I have no idea who can climb well on all of the last stages apart from Nibali, really. Chaves?

I hope Chavez wins. Kruijswijk has looked pretty strong, but he rides for Lotto Jumbo so he cant win. If those two have a bad day, which isn't unlikely, Nibali could still win. Watch Valverde ride conservatively to protect 4th.

Anyone but Nibali or Valverde, please.

That time trial was great, I got to see what it looked like when I shredded my rear derailleur on the way to work one morning doing the same thing.

I like how the moto camera highlighted that Valverde was cross-chained big-big on that final climb.

Pretty cool to see the pink jersey doing work and sprinting for the win.

"yes James. Remove that from my presence. It... Offends me" *sips overpriced wine*
Anything exciting likely to happen on those last two mountains, or is this race as good as over? I figured I should watch at least one stage, but looking at those standings I'm not sure if it's worth it.

It's not over till it's over. 3 minutes is a big gap, but on tough mountain stages a lot can happen.

It looked so much worse to see him lying there. I guess you can't tell if you don't the crash.
