Good effort on his part to keep Doumolin (sp?) to 70-odd seconds. Makes his attack/win on Sunday all the more important and impressive
Can't see him being caught now unless he has a major fall
Did NOT see that coming yesterday! I really really really want to Yates to win. I've nowt against Dumolin (sp) but Yates is British and I think Matt White is a dish. He put some spin on that stage yesterday.
I am just hoping it was a blip after the full gas of the TT. it seems such a cruel blow, all that racing and attacking and two stages have wiped it out.
I hope Froome falls of and Braislford slips down a ravine and Team sky 0121. I cant see them lasting much longer after this fucking debacle. I put a lot of emotional support into Froome and feel cheated.
Has anyone been to Northern Europe to watch any of the classics? I am hoping to go to the Tour of Flanders next year and get pissed on Belgian beer, eat frites and mayo and watch skinny men ride up cobbled hills in front of a rabid mob.
