Tour de France
- Thread starter Rupert
- Start date
Sagan back in green and I don't think he'll lose it tomorrow because even if Greipel wins the sprint, Sagan will be up there. (the sprint is about 30km into the stage)
Fuglsang getting dropped after being announced leader. lol. Astana really do suck this Tour. They were awesome in the Giro.
With Tinkoff now focusing on getting Contador on the podium rather than the win, maybe Majka is one worth bringing in because it looks like he's going to attack a lot like last year. Could get that KOM jersey.
Barguil dropping is a shame considering he was a decent cheapie. His injuries must be catching up with him.
Will be making a lot of trades on Saturday.

I think you are ahead and you also have your bonus stage to come as does @Rupert.
@Grater and @Prospector are cooked, I reckon and it will also be hard for me to hold in the top two spots with my bonus stage already done.
I have to say FG that your advice regarding the stage odds has worked pretty well! Unfortunately i don't get a chance to see any of the race.
If you haven't seen this it is the Orica daily film report on Stage 3, the day of the crash. The main interest is in the Orica mechanic's helmet-cam view of the post-crash site. Interesting.
Already had almost 123,000 hits.

sandwiches ...
I didn't see much of great concern ... the live crash bothered me most as I saw it - looked like a few riders went whammo into the power pole ... skydive chicks look friendly - do you have their phone/emails?

You have to wait until about 2.30min in for the footage.
The 2nd video link is nothing but post-crash mechanic-cam. More extended footage than Orica put in their daily film report.
In reference to his poor form?
All riders are tested regularly but Nibali does ride for Astana so it's a good chance he's on drugs as Astana has a history with drug users. I don;t trust them at all.
Team Manager Vinokourov was banned for 2 years for blood doping in 2007;
Contador won 2010 Tour with Astana but was stripped of the title and given a 2 year ban for doping.
5 riders associated with Astana failed drug tests in 2014
Armstrong rode for Astana when he returned to racing after his first retirement.
If Nibali is not on drugs then he has made a really poor choice of companions,
