How quick were they going AoB, it was amazing to see 50, 60ks in and they were gaping for air with still so far to go. -
The arm and wrist (and hip/leg) that caused him to retire were hurt in the wet last night. It wasn't the left wing he was holding in pain last night HT even though it was heavily strapped/in sort of cast. Was that Gerant Thomas? He is huge for Sky, last year getting through the race witha broken pelvis... he is clearly a man who they will heavily rely on to complete what was Porte's role for Froome now that Porte is number 1.

It was just nuts from the get go Macca, decent group broke away early and people in the pack just started chucking the bums on the road in the soaking wet. Nibali amd team were huge, Porte salvaged something for Sky, the rest lost time. I'm really interested to see how Richie Porte goes as team leader now... This is why I love the tour a day like that. Rain, aggressive riding and a big change. Hasn't the Shleck decline been dramatic over the last few years. Andy is out again and Frank a shell of his 2nd to Cadel. At this stage Movistar should have had Quintana in the squad although he may have struggled in the wet and cold last night. Lastly why do they not have elbow or wrist guards for wet stages to protect them from broken wrist and elbows and how can they not have carbon fibre shorts as yet that don't rip as easily causing less injuries?
-
How the hell is the team car allowed to do what Sky did after Froome fell again??? Seriously the UCI needs to pull there finger out.
-
Ah f me Sky's tour again, most of the cobbles have been removed as its to wet. Not much chance To attack Froome over 5ks of cobbles now.
-
Ps Tommy Vockler is nuts and I love him.
-
Froome crashed early today... Looks sore on the left wrist and shoulder... Big for tomorrow with 20ks of shitty wet cobbles!!! Expect some sttacks on him at some point today and defiantly tomorrow.
-
The crowds look even bigger today.

Amazing finish, going to have to watch it again to see who did what but seeing both Gerrens and Cav both eat the road was not a great way to start the Tour. Cav looks gone and I'm sure will have a lot to say about it but his team went waaayyy to early and left him exposed when the real sprint came. Interesting to see Froome finish so high on a sprint finish... The Poms Fing love the event with huge huge crowds turning out in Yorkshire.

Ha yea true JJ he is the ultimate everything rider. Can do a bit of everything well but not 1 outstanding. In saying that he is only 24!!! Loving this already, old Gab Gate is in Whitby tomorrow night (the fish and chips were rubbish!) where I stopped in over New Years in 2008, and they are heading near Gordes where the goodly wife and I stopped in April on the honeymoon. Love seeing the scenery as much as the racing.
-
Yup watched it as most have said, nothing new but what I really liked was seeing and hearing from the others; LeMond, Kimmage, Walsh, Hamilton etc (who I have read of) but was interesting to hear from them in some more detail in some cases. Kimmage I loved! In saying all of that f the cheats, cant wait for tonight!!! Love how Cav has set his whole year on tonight, winning stage 1 in his mums home town. Will he beat the big Greip?
-
Yes I missed that Jazza, too busy catching up on Game of Thrones.... will be chasing it up on iveiw when the good lady wife is out.
-
yes I was the same Jack, really looking forward to seeing the little Q have a real crack this year. Without him I fear a Sky domination again. And of course Impey has denied it all.
-
JJ the little Q has been left out of the Tour. Movistar are leaving him for the Vetula. Disappointing as even though he rode the giro he dominated it so thoroughly I thought he was a chance to push Froome for yellow. Next year he will be hard to stop. Sad to see Impy from OGE has tested positive for something in South Africa.

Nope the comeback Kings.... Do it again in OT. Insane. Such a quality team and such a surly old salty coach.
-
100 games to go, haha isn't that nuts. And the A's for all of there in season ability won't make it past the Divisonal round because of the budget constraints in the toilet stadium.
-
Gebus, how are the Kings going?! If they win the series that's 2 out of 3 years and a true quality team.
-
Are the Kings serious? OT winner again....
-
Fair old series in the West. Kings looked dead on their skates, I thought the Hawks were skating all over them and it was just time before they got the shot on goal they needed... Bang Kings score. Game. Series. Now they need to get it together for the final series. Rangers to win the first and maybe second but Kings to win it all.
-
Would be amazed if the Kings did not win it all, they look a step above. Hawks as someone said as the playoffs started just step up when the beards come out. Habs rangers game today was nuts.
-
Was wondering if that was going to be any good Jazza. Started a tv series on a plane flight recently called Peaky Blinders. Set in post WW1 Birmingham about the local gangs. Interesting, hard. Sam Niell is one of the main characters. Also got back into Gavin and Stacey with the wife, a great little UK comedy about an Essex boy who falls for a Welsh girl. Very amusing, Essex and Welsh stereotypes.
-
Looking forward to tonight, caught up on the recorded sessions today. Cadel looks good but the little Columbian Q is a real danger he looked very relaxed last night. Can't wait to see the final stage as well, have just got back from Europe and spent a little bit if time in the stunning Trieste. Wonderful place.
