I used to dislike Greipel, as well. Watch some interviews with him- he seems very polite and soft spoken, not scary at all.

Yeah I know, he is a humble guy that did his time playing second fiddle to Cav and he is not one to engage in drama. Greipel is most deserving of his wins. Still for some reason every time he wins a stage I shake my first in the air and scream Greipel!

I start clawing at my face when I see Cav getting emotional, still the HTC speed train was in its full glory when was first getting into road riding, it was truly inspiring to watch, so a Cav fanboy I remain.

Nasty wet TT today, some poor guy went down on one of those thick white ped crossing lines after taking at too sharp an angle. They need to learn how to drift corners like that...

I bet Sagan could do it!

There were a whole bunch of guys that went down in that last corner.

Poor Zakarin, two crashes and a mechanical, when he was so close to the pink jersey ...

Are spoilers allowed in this thread? Not really sure, but (I'll use initials) JD looked cooked as he went over that climb. Not sure how much he has left...

Are cycling fans that dumb? The smoke bombs or whatever they have seems pretty dumb... especially the ones running directly in front of the climbers.

Great stage so far!

What a climb.

I kind of enjoyed that smoke, but I wasn't riding through it.
