JamieD 18,998 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Chaos at the end of the stage. David Millar, of all people, comes fourth in the bunch sprint Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan 23 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Missed the sprint and the carnage. Raging! Missing Casey in here Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieD 18,998 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Tony Martin got cut up pretty badly during that crash. Early reports suggest a broken collarbone. He's not going to get much sleep tonight. Got up and finished the stage though. Fucking nails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopter 310 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Nightmare! Missed all the fun yesterday. Should be a good bunch sprint coming up in the next 25 mins.How good is ITV's coverage? Spot on!Edit: I'm watching yesterday's highlights. What à plum! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieD 18,998 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 So, is the lack of activity in here a result of Casey's ban or the fact that flat stages are, let's face it, kinda boring? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think casey is the one who props this thread up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopter 310 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Have enjoyed it so far, but glad we're heading into the mountains now and we can see some proper GC action.What happened to Cav today? Only managed to get it on for the last 2km and he was nowhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have made a song and dance about winning clean? Froomy must be peaking to the point of bringing unwanted accusations?On another data related point - just watched a doco about Cav. His stats on a stationary bike are a joke Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Stars on a stationary bike are a joke The only valid argument I have heard against releasing the data (by which I mean that "the data would be misinterpreted" is not a valid argument) is that it would give other teams something to aim for.As far as I'm concerned, cycling has not earned the trust of the fans. Whining about misinterpretation is laughable when they refuse to be transparent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
