I've been in a state of nervous tension all afternoon!

it will be the 10th edition of the tdf, and corsica is the only french department not to host a start or finish in all these years

Some great block and slow tactics there from Szmyd!
Sort of like what Bosisio did during the Giro on…Blockhaus was it when Di Luca was behind somewhere?
Venga Caisse d'Epargne!
I may be slow on the uptake...
…but it just occurs to me that this rain really sort of impacts the Samu descends his way into yellow scenario, badly.
You see how calm Vaughters is? That’s because he’s really one giant seething ball of Evil inside. With like, extra Evil.
someone attack..please...

probably bad form during the race, but will AV be stripped of his Vuelta win, or will he still be credited with it?
Sorry for the interruption, just frustrated that what we see in Madrid on Sunday is not likely going to stick.
The Spanish wouldn't strip him...not unless he tested positive actually in this race

I don't think it's up to the Spanish, is it?

The odd thing
Is that VDS-wise, a podium spot here along with his earlier in the year placings makes Samu a decent value.
which is what counts :)
