My son (13) loves the TdF and after watching the replay of the blow up stage, his comment was YOWO. After quizing him on this, You Only Win Once.... Pretty funny IMO, hopefully not true.

Yes, a bit of infighting... and Cadel is still confident.Chuck wrote:Maybe I'm misreading what you're alluding to, but that would be a devastating blow. Hope you mean infighting

However he does seem to be after Goss's little infringement (yes he did move off his line) to be a little upset and the expression used in that seemed a little over the top.
Not going to call him a possible bad-sportsman, but I think it might be a "watch this space" in years to come.
Also did anyone hear him in the his interview the other day? I don't think he opened his mouth once to speak... although noises did come out!

That is the most bizarre interview, he seemed really nervous like he wanted to run away. Did he think Mackenzie would deck him if he did talk Gossy up? For some that is so dominant on the bike he has an amazing lack of confidence in front of the camera , would be the first sportsman to be like that though.
I cant see him being a GC rider he can hang on in a climb, but not in the front groups with the climbers. He reminds me of Gilbert last year to be honest.

Yeah it was impressive, his team were great on the final run in pulling it all back in what looked like tough conditions. Nice to see Cadel and BMC really active, last hour or so was good viewing

Along with Peter Sagan great work (for both) getting over the last climb with the group.
A pretty fair and balanced interview from Sagan afterwards-
Personally think Peter Sagan may have been able to take the stage, moving earlier and“For me to win today, I might have had to start my final sprint a little bit earlier. I lost only because of the final lunge to the line. Also, the team of Lotto was very, very strong. They did very good work for Greipel in the last 20 kilometres so it was good for him that he won. I don't think he's stronger than me but that's sprinting – one time he wins, another time I win...”
of coarse, always throwing on the line, in very close finishes (a lesson learnt)
But great to see Andre Greipel take his third TdF win, this year (it's not just a sh*tty little race win )
Sky looking less dominant (cracks appear) and Cadel will now have to make "moves" in the mountains.
Still a lot of racing to go, and anything can happen.
Enjoy

Alluding to being in company of anonymous famed ones is lamer than blatant name dropping IMO.

Pity OGE and BMC are not on target, but stil some awesome performances from the Gorilla and Sagan to cheer about. Just can't bring myself to support Sky - even thought it looks like they are taking modern cycling to the next level!
