Aye, watching that in the background had my sphincter twitching. Should have set Jens Voigt on the owner.
Probably best to let sleeping dogs lie....Corsica has the highest per capita murder rate in Europe, vendetta is a cultural tradition along with assassination.

Apparently Geraint Thomas has a fractured pelvis but is still carrying on.

Was right about OPQS and Cav again yesterday. Guess he must be saving his legs for later in the tour.
Team TT today. Can't see past Sky for this one.

I am with you on this but Garmin are faves with the bookies. Based on the giro I'd go for Sky as well - different rider line up but still well drilled.

The problem for Sky is that Geraint Thomas is hampered by the pelvis injury. This will slow him down and reduce the contrbution he can make. garmin as far as I am aware is a fully fit team. I would not be surprisd to see David Millar in the yellow tonight. Re Geraint, did you see the interview yesterday? "There is a break in the bone- it is bound to hurt" Hard as nails that lad. I agree that MTFU should be replaced by GTFU. Will Geraint ever be deemed to be as hard as Jens though?

I'd go for Garmin as well with Millar in yellow tonight, its a pretty short stage for a TT (25km) so it will probably be pretty close between Garmin, Sky and OPQS.
Yesterday showed why Cav won't get the Green jersey, Sagan is a better all rounder and he will get over the mountains to contest sprints like yesterday. If Cav had of somehow managed to stay with peloton until the end I'm not sure how much he would have had left in the legs.

Tony Martin is super human.

Anybody see Cav's post race interview?
The guy maybe fast but he is an absolute penis.

I think that it was an interview with someone who knew he may be in the wrong and went all defensive! Kittel still scares me though all a bit Ivan Drago!

Part of it is just the arrogance that most great sportsman have, suspect he isnt exactly the sort of person you would enjoy going for a pint with though.
I actually don't think he did much wrong as per Boardman's explanation at the end of the program.

I agree he didn't. I think there was a deliberate attmept to slow him down or at least put him off. I think he does get picked on as everyone know in a flat sprint he is almost unbeatable. Still a cock though.

I'm going to go easy on him on this. Yes he was on the defensive but, he knows he was involved in an incident where someone went down hard. He knows it wasn't his fault (in his eyes and, to be honest, the post race video tends to support him). He knows that he IS going to get blamed. He has been through all thta shit before. He wan't going to put up with it. Sprinters get involved in crashes. Lead out trains get involved in crashes. All part of the game and Cav gives good value for money in post race interviews.
