I see Stephen Roche has just released his autobiography should be a great read.

I thought they renamed this race 'Find the Drugs 2012'?

Commentators are saying that Kelly told them earlier that Martin is just going to stay out of trouble today and not get too involved in the sprint finish.

was never going to compete for an uphill sprint yesterday

hes a lot lighter than last year so wont have the same power, also the sky team is built around wiggins for the GC so wont have the same support as he did at HTC last year, in saying that hes still the best and can always sit on his rivals wheels for the sprint

Well, Cav is likely to pull out if he isn't winning or close to the top of the green jersey standings after stage 15, to prepare for the olympics. I'd be surprised if he was up there given team sky will be riding for Wiggins. A six day turnaround is probably too tight, frankly, and Cav will have plenty more opportunities to win a green jersey whereas the Olympics in London is a big opportunity.

Cavendish caught up in one of the 4 crashes today. Roche gets 7th and Sagan wins again. Martin was caught up in a crash as well.

Roche up to 20th but Martin down to 87th.

Lads, what was the story with Sagan's running man celebration at the end of stage 3 yesterday?? Did I hear he got a deliberate puncture as well?

Apparently Sagans celebration was an imitation of Forest Gumps run!

Cavendish will quit half way through if he isnt in points contention. He's better off focusing on the Olympics if he doesnt get many points in the coming days.

Yeah, Sean Kelly was saying this last week reckons he'll see how he's doing going into the mountains and if he isn't doing well then he'll pack it in.
 
 
Is there a Team Time Trial this year ?
