if they lose they'll be the belgian and the zimbabwean again

[RaG]Ethel · 20-Jul-2012, 15:18

whoa ! how fast was that finish from Cav !!

Bilbo Fraggins · 20-Jul-2012, 21:37

Helicopter shot of finish was great, I can't imagine what it must have felt like for those 2 leaders who got to see him flash past them.
Brilliant stuff yet again from SKY

Hot Soup · 20-Jul-2012, 22:03

That was awesome, leadout from the Yellow Jersey, then Boassan Hagen. But even so Cav came from a long way back, immense sprinting!

TT then the roll. Come on guys!

Hot Soup · 22-Jul-2012, 20:45

Fantastic stuff! Well done Wiggins, Froome, Cav and the rest of team Sky.

I really hope they can reproduce the form for next weekends Road Race then the TT!

Come on \o/

Good result!

The Big Kahuna · 24-Jul-2012, 22:18

Yeah. A cyclist on drugs beat some other cyclists on drugs. Result.

You are a grumpy fucker aren't you.

The Big Kahuna · 25-Jul-2012, 10:10

Not really, but I used to follow the Tour de France obsessively before most of you had taken the stabilisers off your bikes. I just don't trust any of the cunts anymore.

eek · 25-Jul-2012, 11:31

It's the cleanest it's ever been. Go look at the data. All the big GC contenders put out the same sort of power output this year, there were no irregularities in that someone suddenly produced loads more power at the end of the day. The general output was a lot lower this year as well.

Wiggins had to take a drug test every day he was in Yellow.

I'm sure that some still take drugs. It is still ingrained in the sport, but you compare that to the peloton even 5 years ago and the number is going to be tiny and if Sky is doing it clean then everyone else will follow.

Eja Cool8 · 25-Jul-2012, 15:29

I've no doubt some of them will still try various chemicals etc, but it's true, it's harder than ever to get away with.

Id trust Wiggins with his background in track cycling roughly 45 million times more than any of the other contenders.
