25 for "hors catégorie", double points when the KOM coincides with the finish line, as far as I remember.

The way a thread of spittle dangled from his chin for some time made it seem not all was played.

I don't agree with some of the twitter armchair critcis comparing Nibali/Peraud's times to Armstrong et al
#TDF, Pla d'Adet (last 10 km)
2001 | Armstrong 29:21
2005 | Basso, Armstrong 29:59
2014 | Nibali, Peraud 30:05 | prov.
Were Armstrong and co riding on the limit back then or could they have gone a lot faster? Who knows. Believe everyone is clean until proved otherwise I guess

You may be right. At first I thought he meant with it that it was play. But blinking has also other meaning in real life, (which I can't find the right words for), something like "hey, I am good".
It was sad to see how Purito was burnt out. I like watching him attack. On the 3rd climb it seemed thar Majka didin't have legs today against Purito (even it was close on the line), but then, on the last climb, everything was different.

Also noted from twitter, supposedly rumours from France that Andy Schleck has a biopassport violation coming out. No source or anything for that and only rumours - don't as me where digger_forum gets his info from, I have no idea but I take it with a grain of salt
Commonwealth Games are also starting this week, any predictions for who will win what disciplines? Not sure if Wiggo is racing in the individual pursuit or not but he is in the teams pursuit

Or given the evidence to date throughout cycling history, the opposite !
I'm really waiting for tomorrows stage, maybe Purito left it all for tomorrow? He said on twitter he would try until the end.. Majka is riding way to good.. and it seems he is going to the Vuelta too.. we'll see how this plays out.
If the battle for the top5 would include the yellow jersey, it would be a hell of a Tour, but even without the battle for the leaders jersey, it is a great race to watch, far better than I expected at first.
