The Dutch commentators are pissed that they can't ride across wet roads without falling, even before the cobbles.

It appears that the riders have forgotten how to ride during the rain.

edit: Froome down again.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

That looks bad for froome. I think we're about to see him retire and the stage get neutralised

Well let's see how much carnage the cobbles themselves will bring.

Froome out. Commentators basically disregarding Porte's chances to win. Can he win?

Contador is going to own this now.

Porte doesnt have a chance, sky might as well go home.

Yes. Froome vs Contador was looking like it was going to be one of the great fights.

Let's face it, Froome crashed twice already ... why put him over the cobbles? He might die.

In the past, Porte has been a very inconsistent rider in GTs.

I, too, feel we have been robbed of the great battle that was a human spider marking Contador up every climb then tootling away in the TT in the most boring manner possible.

Last year we got echelons that created an upset, now we get normal weather conditions for northern france that created one. It appears that mountain stages and time trials are the boring stages these days.

Its annoying because he was taken out 3 times by other riders. Poor positioning from Sky but still, other riders hitting you is just bad luck.

Nah, Contador already brutally owned him and destroyed him physically and mentally. Now all Alberto has to do is get with Froome's shrew to complete the cucking.
