[Horton's halftime iceberg]

I think Sky have dropped Nibali

I've loved 'new' Cadel since his World Champs win.
If he were attacking anyone else I'd be well happy, but not this time frog face.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

The final climb will be awsome

Terrible riding by Tejay.

 

[Indurain's Lungs]

Ha! Van Garderen dropped Evans!

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

I was wrong can see Nibali tucked in

Keep up Grandad...

Dropped by your own, I am sure Froome could do the same to Bradley

Michael Rogers, what a ride.

All eyes on Nibs.

Michael Rogers, what a ride..

Him and Kerns are destroyers today

Cadel will do well to hold onto BW.

 

[Stat Brother]

NO NO NO

It's a fookin jersey now fook off.

Yep, Nibali and VDB tucked in nicely behind Sky.

At what point does Rolland get the nod from his DS to go I wonder ? Nibali going for it over the top would be great to see for excitement value.

cadel is gonna suffer now i think, can see him going off the back

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

That was exciting, Q same on next climb

 

[Indurain's Lungs]

My fantasy team is a complete write-off today as Taarame and Zubeldia have both been dropped!

 

[1066familyman]

Interesting to see Brajkovic holding onto this group. He's a real dark horse that one.

Hes a street fighter, reckon he will go again

Maybe Nibs will go balls out up the 5km climb and hang on for the finish.

Unless he's attacked while I'm watching injurylawyers4you

Whats the % looks tough.

Funny how quickly things change. Rolland burying himself for Tommy last year and now Kern doing the same for Rolland today. Slightly different context, but all the same, I can't help but love Europcar.
