TBF I think that's before she saw the light and got on her bike. Not so great if her views have been informed by Mr. Briggs though.

That's a great price. Just bear in mind Import duty and handling charges will be applied pre delivery.

Lotto pushing in the Wiggins group now that Rolland is threatening JVdB's place. Think TJvG is in the Wiggins group, pretty shit from him to abandon Evans like that... I wonder what Froome would have done
I don't care about Evans
LL Sanchez is repaying my faith for having him in my purist as is Izagirre and Sagan is just a machine. Whatever happens, I've got 3 of the first 5 home
BOOST, Sagan has just got the combat Red number award thingy....thats a bonus
Sanchez
Sagan
Casar
Gilbert
Izagirre
Can't believe I dropped Sagan last night
My purist ambition could be right back on track as no-one around me has Sanchez.....not going to last though as some have Evans and Wiggo
LLS, he'll see it as justice for yesterday.
Took Casar out for Pinot last night. Still got Sagan though.
Tacks, happened in Scotland a couple or 3 years back, in the Etape Caledonia.
If there were things on the road....I'm blaming the Basque's
Sanchez and Izagirre through in the break and hundreds of Basque's on the climb
Damn those pesky Basques.
Glam could be in for the stage win today!
I very much doubt it as the only other rider I have scoring that I know of is Wiggo......BUT I would be nice
Sorry my auto correct said you're glam and not Gkam!
Apparently Europcar are the only team running tyres which would have survived a carpet tack... the plot thickens.
So the director must have seen evidence of something
So-so day for me. Big mistake taking out Sagan. Waste of 2 transfers as I'm bringing him back for tomorrow when who knows he might decide to have a rest. Going to drop a bit. Seem to be doing better in the sprint stages this year then the mountains. Last climb too far away from the finish to produce any fireworks. TdF has organised this badly. Should have some better stages for the weekend with at least one mountain top finish.
Izagirre did well. His best finish ever in the TdF. Now which EUS rider to choose for 16 and 17. Might leave in Urtasun for 15 as he prefers flat stages it seems.
If i'm going to win, I need Bernaudeau or Boeckmans to come in last, as Grivko has already come in at 45th.
EDIT, Bernaudeau 124th and Boeckmans 161st
Kern in at 162......He might be last AGAIN
164 for me
Stage winner had 215 and have 4/5 of the final break guys
164 for a purist with only 7 riders left should be great in my quest for top premium purist

The question is - will Phil Liggett keep getting Kiserlovski and Kessiakoff mixed up now that the former isn't even racing?
Tac's reported scattered on the road
28 tac's dropped, wonder if it was Rolland
This is going to effect alot of teams here
Robert Kiserlovski (AST) is out of the Tour. He has apparently broken his collarbone in a crash.
Hmmm, Wiggins waiting for Cuddles' group, Kiserlovski out of the tour, punctures everywhere, its chaos.
Evans front puncture....
I'm happy though, I have 3/5 of the breaks, just as Sanchez nails it with 11km to go
I didn't see TeeJ going over the top at all, He wasn't with Evans.
Brad changes bike, I wouldn't have thought that was for a puncture, more likely a gearing change
Flat for Bradley, wonder if he's waiting for Cuddles?
Yeah, looked like Sky were waiting until Rolland jumped off the front forcing everyone around him in GC to follow. Poor work from TJvG though, he should have been right there and watching Evans.
Evans punctured at the top, sky were waiting for Evans to get back and Rolland has just exploded off the front
If you like Evans.....Thats not so good. But for me. I'm pissing myself laughing.
Evans gets a rear puncture and rides to the top.....Cummings the next BMC over......give him my wheel....NOPE cause I also have a rear puncture
Few big crashes, An Astana rider lying at the side of the road.
Rolland attacks as the rest sat up for Evans.....making the rest of the big guys ride. Evans will be going MENTAL
Looks like a Sagan win from here then. Forks second would be a bonus
