I'd love to get Lemond slightly drunk and just get him talking about Lance and Froome and everything off camera.

I feel the levels of venom that would come out of his mouth would be amazing.


Still up because I couldn't sleep, and just realized today is alpe d'huez. I Haven't been watching at all but I have a feeling that I'm not going to sleep right away. Or the sky train could put me right to sleep.

Same situation here, haven't followed it this year due to Froome but switched the channel to see we have Alpe D'Huez today and I have gently caress all else going on so why not? :munch:

If i was a DS i'd be making sure my riders let froome know about that, i bet there are hordes of police heading there now to avoid a sky rider getting pulled off their bike

Part of me is hoping that this is the year a spectator finally pulls a rider off their bike.

I love that about cycling, the big goofy looking Colombian is fading away out of the breakaway and about to get spat out by the peloton but still finds 20 seconds of charging up the mountain to give even a tint but of help to his countryman from another team. You just don't get cool stuff like that in other sports.

I wonder how long the Sky scientists spent optimizing the amount of extra blood they pump into froome versus the added grams.

They should force Sky to work this group to the foot of the Alpe if Froome wants the stage win.

Why does direct tv advertise 99% signal reliability? That's like saying for every movie you watch you can miss 90 seconds of it.

Nothing exciting so far, Quintana made a decent break earlier but sky regrouped after the last climb and pulled him back

Nairo had a fairly promising attack that was helped out by a Colombian rider on Lampre-Merida. That's about it
