he has a beast record for someone so young.

Arrogant fucker. But then that's basically a requirement for a gun sprinter.

Hooray!

I agree about the celebration. cockyyoungfuckerthatwinsmepoints

Fukken fell asleep with 10km to go. Woke up to those 2 dudes talking post race. FFFUUU-

haha worst! I did the same thing 10mins into the euro final

this erection and swisse ad are nearly just as bad as blasted funeral plan ads. grrrr

enough!

at least we dont have that avanti ad from last year.

Or the bills, bills, bills... ad.

thankfully wasn't irritated because I was actually watching a fair chunk of the race in France.

I got my bike...FROM BIKE FORCE!!!!!!!!!1

not bike exchange?

who do you want to win the sprint?

fuuuuuuuuuuck... that incline plane thingo for the boats was insane!

why does the house turn into a tent when the couple want to start shagging?

Greipel, Sagan, Goss.

Any of those. Points! I like points!

and FUCKEN. Come orrrn Slovenia was part of Czechoslovakia?

as long as cavendish loses i'll be happy.

YES GOSSY. Let's see that at the end

Now that intermediate is over just hurry up and get to the finish for the big sprint so i can go to bed. Gotta be up at 5.30... fuck.

Agreed. I'm super tired. but then i don't have to be up until about 11am or something.

any time sherwen mentions 'voigt' and 'pain' in the same sentence you have to do a shot

Here we go

green edge train looking good

so so tired. get exciting riders.

booooo

Fucking cavendish

well done for goss and greipel though! points!

you have to love him. too good.

goss finished strong with a pretty messy run in. looking good to get a stage at some point

just quietly the thighs on greipel.

and goodnight poppets.

Cav is a fucking machine. Untouchable. Those 3 sure make that 22 year old look amateur.

I'm tired.

that was pretty tits. fell asleep with about 75km to go. woke up with 2km to go (i think my brain heard the commentators getting excited). perfect timing

as much as I dislike Cav (mainly because hes so good) you can;t take anything away from him. that was a boss display by the worlds best sprinter. To do it with no help from his team mates when the others had solid lead ins was pretty awesome. I wonder how deep into the tour he will go and how many stage wins he will get before pulling out?

I've read he'll try & ride it out but won't expect support from the Skytrain and that he's not bothered about green. If it comes along, so be it. If not, he'll no doubt chip away at Eddy Merckx's total number of stage wins....

he really is an incredible talent isn't he

reckon he'll have a gold helmet to go with his rainbow stripes

This is sick, going to make an effort to really watch it this year. Amateur atm but the commentary team help learn pretty quickly ( and I like the history lessons, adds to it imo ) .

it would be nice if the history lessons were 100% accurate.

Cavendish needs some PR work. I fully support that he should be judged only on his riding (and it was a pretty killer ride), but that after race interview and some others i've seen makes me want to dub him sir chav-endish.

That Abbey de Villers last night was bloody impressive.

agreed. i'd love to go back through that region, i was only 6 when i visited belgium and france et al. so many cool castles/chateaux and abbeys, i can still remember visiting/seeing quite a few.

I spoke to my brother about doing the first 3 days in Corsica next year for the 100th edition and he's keen. Dad might be keen too
