What happens if you drop out for a stage? Are you out of contention for the whole race?

If you don't finish a stage, you're out.

If you took any conclusion from that epic battle between Froome and Contador, you need to watch more bike racing.

I hope Nibali can be the awkward third wheel in this race.

Finally got a chance to watch all of that. Nibali owns and I'm starting to like him more these days. Contador just had to make it home in one piece and he figures he can do what he likes in the mountains.

I hope Porte Talansky Van G Valverde and all the others attack him mercilessly and constantly. It's gonna be a good one.

I missed today's stage: can someone explain what the hell happened that let Gallopin take such a huuuuuge whack of time?

He got in the break and Nibali let him go because he didn't want the yellow jersey.

Lol too slow

I think we're missing the most important part of the story, which is that the GC and KOM Jersey holders are riding Specialized bikes.

I hope Valverde's getting lots of rest and vitamins.

He's been quiet. Too quiet. He's up to something. I just know it.

Nibali looks lean as hell. Valverde always looks old and tired, so who knows with him.

Bakelant's cyclocross bike change at the top of the Palaquit was so :belgium:

If you haven't seen the ESPN 30 for 30 Slaying the Badger episode go find it.

It's an old story (Lemond and Bernie), but it's really well done.
