Nope.

Just watching the TT highlights. Froome has epic tanlines on his wrists

On Eurosport_UK from 11 tomorrow! Whole stage and climbing from the off. I think my sofa will have an indentation tomorrow.

BMC need to sack off TJ and get someone good.

I don't see Richie Porte as a GT winner either.

Trek have the right idea even if Bertie only has 2-3 years left in him, he could still win the Giro or Vuelta.

We need an 17 man Sky and Orica breakaway today, would make things exciting

Eugh, just seen the pictures of Sammy Sanchez crash yesterday from his team car. Looked horrible.

And BMC, and Tinkoff! They all need to turn the screw on Movistar.

Ok all gang up on Movistar

Shocker as Tony Martin wins ToB ITT. Legend. Dumoulin and Dennis claw back some seconds on Cummings - they're now both 38 seconds behind.

Eerrmm it hasn't started yet has it ? :confused:

Edit: Was the ITT earlier and the circuit race due on now?

Yeah, ITT was this morning, circuit race this afternoon.

Cummings did well, only 16s down on Tony Martin on the TT.

Great attack by Chaves on Contador who is now isolated.

Edit: Chaves now back in virtual 3rd

Clément Chevrier down after some idiot stepped out to wave at the camera...

Now 7km left and still nothing from Froome.

Few digs at various points before this on the descent but movistar and quintana too strong. Fair play deserves win for sunday/Monday rides by movistar. Sky will need to sharpen up their tactics outside of the tour.

They'd have been fine if it weren't for that abysmal day when they all stopped for a 2 hour cake break or whatever it was.

I actually think if it wasn't for Sunday and missing the break then Monday wouldn't have happened.
