apropos nothing at all, the time gap between Nibali in second and Pinot in 7th at last year's Vuelta was 7 mins 4 secs. Obviously we've not had the TT yet, but we have had the cobbles. And obviously it doesn't prove anything beyond Nibali putting 7+ minutes into Pinot over three weeks being nothing new.

Oh and i think this slipped under the radar:
Jonathan Tiernan-Locke banned for two years and sacked by Sky
Which makes his last tweet quite amusing.
And a few other comments in here

I did mention that upthread. Still to go through appeal process though.

Ah sorry, searched his name but it didnt come up.....
I probably did that annoying thing of calling him JTL. It's interesting to compare the reaction to his ban in some quarters with that to news of Kreuziger's ongoing passport investigation.

Yep, and that was point. Keyboard speculation innit.

Maybe Cannondale have been resting Viviani for Paris? Might as well give him a lead out for one stage; he won't win but would probably come as high as the team leader.

Tony Martin's big ring is big. I think it's a 58.

Looks like the French pair are both going to make the podium. Valverde well behind at first check. No podium for him in what is presumably his last Tour as leader.

Puncture for Peraud, but the bike change was quick and I think he has time to spare.

Great result for Konig. I can't help thinking some team with more money will grab him from NetApp. He's the only high level GC rider still on a proconti team.
Yup. Unless Bora are going to be upping the budget and want him keeping the he'll be going somewhere I'm sure.
So, whose going to beat Sagan today?
Kittel, Degenkold, Coquard and one other.
Just watching today's stage now that I'm home and I notice that both AG2R riders were very careful when they put their bikes down after suffering a visit from the puncture fairies. Think they were only on loan?

2 tfl London busses have just gone through as part of the parade. Boris spending money where it counts, then.

Was in a rush to get to work this morning but PP was open and stuck a fiver on Renshaw @20 just in case the OPQS train pull one out. I doubt it but it'll keep the finish interesting.

I'd say you were screaming at the tv when Peraud crashed hard!
It's bizarre looking at a TDF podium and thinking "I like all of those dudes".

Like a boss.
Even Nibali? I want to like him but, well, Astana.
I was at work so having to follow it on the live feed, so there were images of mangled brown and lilac going round my head

I like him purely for stage five, he's also looked like a champion. I wonder if he would have won it against froome or contador but I don't care, it's been a good tour overall.
