Can we please avoid rehashing the endless doping talk again? I don't give a shit if he doped or not in 2010, much more exciting to see him win than Froome, Wiggins, or Quintana.
Don't take me too seriously. The only person that doesn't hate Froome.

I don't mind you quoting someone but I do mind when you quote shit that wasn't said.
I know you're taking over J-Nice's job and all...but at least stick with what was quoted.

Great bike racing by Bert. Not usual to see Hansen as a hanger-on.

Agree...they both look pretty good. I have a feeling Ben King's day will come, he has great instincts.

Wow, what a ride by Contador today. Just amazing. Too bad Porte got sick, isn't it.

It was incredible to see Contador weaving back and forth on that steep section. Never seen that from the person leading the race before! Very exciting results and wonder how Sky are feeling these days as suddenly things are not going to the script of 2012/13.

Real equal huh :noidea:

I think there was cash too, but still, I'd like to see what the guys winner got


what race was that?

my female friend once won a whole set of cleaning agents... but that was some cheap-sh!t local mtb race with an idiot sponsor and the crowd chearing "exchange jerseys" during the podium 'ceremony' :roll:
