You think they'll ever change to putting the cameras on drones instead of motorcycles?

I adore him.  And I love that he is part of the NBC Sports coverage with Christian.

I'm over Armstrong and not clicking on that link.

Stage --- Third to last.


Froome will be under whatever siege the remaining contenders can muster. I'm ready for Quintana to do something amazing.

I guess it takes a mechanical Nibali to create excitement.

So, do you think Quintana can take over two minutes off Froom on the Alp D'huez (sp?)?  Its getting a little exciting.  And good on Nibali for winning the stage and getting into 4th.  Another good day and he could podium. 
I've been doing this how long?

This is going to be a really good stage. Everyone is going to attack otherwise no chance at the podium.
I love the TdF but will not miss the Hannah and her horse commercials.  :lambie:

Wonderful stage!

Anybody think that Nibali, Comtador or any others will try to make up some time this last stage?

Well that was a bit like watching cricket - got more exciting as we got close to the end.  Much more interesting race than last year.  I hope we have another good one next year.

They are awful.

I think this year's tour was kind of boring.  Froome was in yellow for so long and Sky is so strong...there were some great stages and Quintana really tried but meh.

ETA - I just looked at my picks.  One out of four - Sagan!

Jersey picks:

Yellow - Contador
Green - Sagan
Polka Dot - Some dude I've never heard of
White - Quintana

My pick for early stage carnage:
Stage 3, which includes cobbles and the climb of the Mur de Huy at the end.

2 out of 4 right.
Do I get bonus points for predicting stage 3 carnage ?

I love all the mountain stages this year, in particular stage 19 which will take down to the wire.
I picked Nibali last year but I'm a bit nervous with all the doping on Astana.
Yellow - Contador
Polka dot - Quintana
White - Quintana
Green - Cavendish

1 out of 4 bah
