Cycling Thread

I thought that Le Tour deserved it's own thread rather than being the fag end of Il Giro.

If Wiggo doesn't win I'm blaming Morgan, Moxley and StrawBreaker.

Just an precession of lycra clad drugs cheats. Should be in general chatter, not other sports.

Paddy and Quirk playing darts? Wrong thread mate.

Cracking sprint by Cav

Slimline Cav - he's still the daddy!

Cav fell off his bike close to the finish on Wednesday. Hopefully, he'll be okay for tomorrow.

Hopefully it was an accident rather than the other teams feeling that the only way to stop him on the flat is to fall in front of him.

This crash today is playing beautifully into Wiggins' hands. Schleck, Valverde, Hejsadal are all going to lose a fair bit of time today.

My first stage today after a week in sunny Portugal

Fear it's all over for Cavendish after getting held up today.

With Wiggins keeping his nose clean Sky should ride for yellow, it's possibly his best chance to get it.

Save Cavendish for the Olympics...

Hesjesdal had to abandon. This tour is turning into a war of attrition. Hope there won't be any more bad crashes.

Cadel v Bradley is going to be fucking awesome in the mountains

Just watched the re-run of the finishing climb yesterday. Sky were staggering - totally blew the race to pieces.

Another great ride by Wiggins and Froome today. Survived Nibali and Evans trying to have a dig on the last descent.

Also, big thumbs up to Thibault Pinot in winning the stage with his breakaway. Excellent stuff.

Think having Froome riding so well as shotgun to him may well be the deciding factor in seeing off Evans when he does put in some serious attacks, he would be a serious contender himself if he wasnt Wigigns teammate. That display on saturday by Sky was really laying down a marker to the other teams.

Wiggins has been famous for his anti dope stance for years.

Wiggins and Froome blasting away the field in the time trial. I hope that they can both keep the pace going.
