Was in London yesterday so popped up to Walthamstow in the afternnon thinking the crowds would be a bit less on the outskirts, how wrong i was.
Its quite a spectical with all the stuff that comes through before it.

The Armstrong Lie was a good watch.
The end sums up his character by him saying he thinks he'll be remembered as 7 time tour winner.

I thought the BBC4 program was better, but it was interesting to see it from Armstrong's point of view.

FFS. Oh well, I guess Richie Porte will get his chance earlier than expected.
Please, anybody but Bert.

Wiggo will have the biggest smile about this. |

Looks a bit of a silly decision now, doesn't it.

Yes. It would have been hard to accomodate them both as potential winners but this stage was always going to split the race wide open if wet. You always run the risk of your team leader crashing out and thats 2 out of the last 4 years that Sky have lost their leader. So Thomas or Porte do we reckon ? |

Porte was always second choice. He can climb, whereas I don't think Thomas has what it takes to be a genuine GC contender yet.
Twitter suggests Bert has lost contact with Nibali, but interestingly Sagan is still right up there.

Could today finally be the day Vanmarcke wins on the cobbles?!

Lots of fallers now and not just on the cobbles.

I would've expected Porte too but Thomas is also a strong rider. As you say maybe not so much of a climber but then again maybe he has never had the chance as he has always been working for someone else.
If C-ntador has a big gap he'll have a job on his hands to get that back - makes for a good tour.

Thomas has a bit of an engine on him, I guess with his track background he could be a similar type rider to Wiggins. I'm sure I read recently that Sky see him as one for the future, but they say that with all of their signings. I see him as more of a classics type rider.
What surprised me most about today was Sagan's performance. 3rd in the GC. I know there's not been much hilly stuff yet, but still that's quite an achievement for a sprinter especially if you look at Kittel's GC performance. If only Sagan could climb and TT.

Spot on Sam.
It'll be interesting to see if Contador or Porte or anyone else can claw the gap to Nibali back.
