Super pumped after that ride, cool that a Frenchman is going to be in yellow on Bastille day. Tony Martin seems like a cool dude: David Millar @millarmind Tony Martin said 'Sorry David' when he caught and passed me in a TT. He's that nice.

What a ride by Martin, 150km in a break and more than half alone. Podium look like a TT stage.

But he's all like gently caress that poo poo. Also the three bottles of Merlot last night didn't help. Withnail fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Jul 13, 2014 |

That Panzerwagen cap they made for Martin is Cool and Good, and I ususally wouldn't be into pro gear but I might wear that. Also LMAO if you are too wimpy to do that PRO aero tuck.

His wife is amazing. That red dress.  Also, whomever was chasing with him (number 83?) for most of the last 50km has one sexy paint job. That sky blue is awesome. I'm all worked up over here.

So what are the rules for passing in/out of a sprint? I imagine that there has to be some guidelines or else the peloton couldn't function. Riders can't be as generous as they are with the space around them without rules. Enlighten me!

If you're in a bunch sprint, don't swerve to block or jump on the wheel of a guy in front. Accidents happen, people lean on each other all the time and in a sprint you're counting on the guys racing with you not to do anything idiotic and take you all out. Thats why its so important that you can generally trust everyone will stay in the same bit of road they currently are in. You block people in by surrounding them, not by swerving over the road to keep them behind you.

I've said this about Tony Martin before, but what an absolute monster! (in the best way) Today is a really good feel day in the TDF, happy for Gallopin and happy for Martin.

~20 person breakaway that nobody was very interested in chasing. Gallopin was prepared to do the work at the front of the break to keep it going and take a Yellow into Bastille day. Tony Martin was just riding a completely different race to everyone else.

They decided to cancel the stage and use today for a time trial. Tony Martin won, Cancellara came second. A whole bunch of people tied after that. Most of the favorites took a day off and lost time.

strangemusic posted:I missed today's stage: can someone explain what the hell happened that let Gallopin take such a huuuuuge whack of time? Other people have basically said it but he's not a threat for winning it after 21 stages, even if he's holding it after 9, so Astana don't give a poo poo. Let Gallopin's team do the work closing down breakaways to protect the yellow jersey for as long as they can -- for them holding it for a long time is really good exposure for their sponsors, and just straight up cool for a guy who isn't going to win it at the end of the day. As it happens yeah tomorrow's a killer stage so they probably won't hold it beyond that, but in which case it's even more of a who cares for Astana: they lose it for one day, big whoop

Also Astana can spin it as they let a french rider be in yellow for Bastille day.

Look like Wiggins will stay at Sky in 2015. Last one is Cancellara told Nibali, he want to get back home. Edit : Wiggins to stay at Team Sky in 2015 Mr.Nice fucked around with this message at 09:58 on Jul 14, 2014 |

   Tony and Marion may get another baby lion today, he lost only 1'45" on Froome in the last finish in planche des belles filles. Most broadcasts are on already, real start at 13:30 CET Col des Chevrères climb begins around 17h00 (First move from GC contenders) http://www.letour.com/le-tour/2014/us/live/aso/ http://www.cyclingfans.com/tour-de-france/live http://www.procyclinglive.com/livestream/ http://www.steephill.tv/tour-de-france/#live

Today's stage is a lot harder than the last time they finished on La Planche des Belles Filles, Gallopin is going to have to work hard to keep it.
