Don't believe it myself, agree that he has made similar decisions before. I just find it utterly bizarre given how unpredictable the Manchester weather can be.
-
Conspiracy theories abound with some folk claiming that it's all about trying to make it go to day 5 and the associated ticket sales.
-
Greipel finally gets his stage win, used Kristoff to lead him out with Sagan almost catching him on the line.

Into the last couple of laps, safe to say it's been a crap day for Etixx so far. Tony Martin abandoned, Kittel then has a mechanical and has to swap bikes, only for the new one to be fecked too and he ripped the wheel off and chucked it down the road. Used a fair bit of energy to catch up. Dan Martin now has a puncture so it's going to be tough for Kittel.

I can't for the life of me think of any good reason not to enforce the follow on. It's Manchester, it's going to rain. I'd have put my house on the last day not being required if Cook had put Pakistan back in.

Kreuziger had a decent go at it and caused some minor panic among the GC contenders as he had enough of a lead at one point to go up to second on GC. Noticed the last few days that the motorbikes have taken a more proactive approach to getting in between the riders and any arsehole fans on the climbs. I do wonder at times how they decide what sections to fence off, there were long parts of the descent fenced off during the TT the other day but only a handful of fans at them, while it was the usual free for all on the climb.

Given some of the decisions so far, it's absolutely horseshit that Adam Yates has been given a 10 second penalty for accepting a handsling yesterday after he had to change bikes. Quintana getting a tow from a service moto was conveniently glossed over. Rain forecast for later today, the final descent into Morzine could be a bit hairy.
-
Yep, shows again the importance of Cook and Root being on form, nobody else is producing runs at the moment.
-
I know you don't like him or Sky but maybe it was because he had clattered his knee off the road and was in a bit of pain? A few heavy falls today, Pierre Rolland went sliding off the road and Mollema only just avoided going right into the trees at a roundabout. Biggest casualty was Tom Dumoulin who broke his wrist after crashing and had to abandon, and his Olympic TT hopes look in serious doubt now.
-
Like many others the only thing he ever tested positive for was salbutamol, it's amazing how many top cyclists have asthma.
-
4/10, hopeless guessing. -
Indurain? Never seemed to be in any trouble when he won 5 in a row.
-
Porte looking the strongest of the rest with Aru also looking decent. Could see those two ending up on the podium on Sunday.
-
8/10, got the Adelaide and Homais questions wrong. A fair few inspired guesses.
-
It's not rocket science that if your own team is struggling then you sit on Froome's wheel and at some point try and launch an attack, but Quintana, Nibali etc haven't been able to try and claw anything back into Froome's lead. Good to see Porte at least having a go.
-
You can blame Sky for many things, but it's not their fault that so many of the other supposed GC contenders are miles off the pace.
-
Roy Orbison - It's Over Btw, spell check changes Orbison to Ormiston, what a stage name that would be.
-
5 for the Australian quiz, 4 for the plagiarism one.
-
Confirmed by Cavendish on Facebook that he won't be starting in the Tour tomorrow.
-
I'll just leave this here...
-
Knew 8, or at least I thought I did. Got 6, and add me to the list of folk who got the F1 question wrong.

Brilliant finish today, belter of a climb just before the finish with Sagan edging out Kristoff by a bawhair on the line.
-
But it's worth remembering that he didn't bestow that status upon himself, the UCI and others were guilty of that. Yes, he absolutely treated others like shite, especially the likes of Emma O'Reilly and Betsy Andreu, but that doesn't make him any more of a cheat than Riis or Vinokourov, it just makes him an utter c**t.
-
I agree with the last part, but as mentioned why only him? Why does Armstrong have "no place in cycling" when other cheats are welcome?
