Fignon - In my day, doping methods were derisory and the riders´exploits were massive.
For the last 15 years or so  it has been the other way rond: there is a huge number of ways in which riders can dope, and any exploits are derisory.

Congrats to Neebs... I underestimated him and massively overestimated Purito it seems.

Meh... Purito is clearly a superior climber, and since Purito has had solid year-round form. I took the guess that his non-performance on Green Mountain last season was an abberation.

CQ has Velits in the lead for the GC. Those few seconds on yesterday's stage will give him the overall it seems.

With that music I was half expecting Nibbles or Peter to throw the ring into Mount Doom Green Mountain at the end.

 Just watched the Green Mount stage.
Boy, young Tommy Slaughters has a serious case of the "Schlecks".
I wonder how much energy he wasted screwing his neck around to look at his chasers?
Certainly cost him 5th in the GC.

Taking of which, it looks like Pete Sagan has cost his "boss" the GC win. :-[

completely lost all interest in this race, the lack of decent updates, the highlights being delayed by 24 hours, all made it utterly uninteresting to me.

ended up not watching any of it.

Only interest for me has come from the failure by Sky / Cav.
not sure if he is suffering from his crash last week, or they just plain got it wrong but very disappointing race. Lot of work to be done.
