He probably was very astute and saw you as the lost cause you are.

Another rest day :dabs:
I'm kindof missing the ten minute updates.

Blame it on the drug crackdown.
In the good old days a doper like Tom Simpson could literally ride himself to death without even feeling tired.

Looks like Wiggins has it locked up. I've only watched about half of the stages but he's been a beast from what I've seen. I'm hoping Van Garderen has a strong finish as well.

I think Nibali could have dropped him on a couple of climbs if Wiggins had been forced to take him on mano a mano.He's supple but seems to lack the explosiveness of a true climber.
That said though Wiggins is clearly in a class by himself in the time trials and I've never seen anyone be able to put on a turn of speed to close down gaps right at the end of stages like he's shown.
As For TeJay ffs he just put in one of the greatest tour debuts in history.He's 23 and he can climb and he can time trial and more importantly he recovers extremely well.If he stays healthy I can't see any reason why he won't win something major in the next few years.
At the very least, somebody is going to throw big money at him.
Re: Random anti-Nazi cycling fred as requested by Barbarossa
Yeah. I read an interview with Wiggins where he expressed how happy he was with the time trials being where they are, on relatively open roads. He said this year was perfect for him.
Van Garderen has been solid. His tank just looked absolutely on empty in the latter portion of today.
Re: Random anti-Nazi cycling fred as requested by Barbarossa
From what I've seen, I thought that Froome would have been a serious rival to Wiggins if he was on a different team.
He was much better than Wiggins in the mountains which could have made up for Wiggins' superiority in the time trials and flatter stages.
Nice to see a British winner :happy:
