Tour de France

Team SKY look pretty darn good at the moment. Bradley was brilliant today, smashing Fabian Cancellara's time who was the pre race favourite.
Chris Froome was excellent again today and I wouldn't be surprised to see him over take Evans for second place.

wiggo was in his saddle and rode smoothly unlike evans who at times out of his saddle and looked ragged. froome has been fantastic. the training in tenerife is paying off.

froome is 14s behind evans, heaven forbid that wiggo crashes out or has to withdraw for whatever the reason sky have froome has their plan b, last couple years it was geraint thomas. cant wait for the olympics with millar, standarrd, cav, wiggo in the road, wiggo also doing the time trail and on todays showing he has to be the favourite for the gold.

on saturday the pelaton got destoryed by sky because they ride to the pace of wiggo which is quick enough and steady enough not to break wiggo not even evans can break wiggo.

after the attempted smear campaign against wiggo. a french rider from cofidis has been suspened for alledge doping http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersp...ation.html its not the brits that people need to look at.

Things are getting better
Wiggins still number 1 and now Froome is now 2nd after yesterdays stage.

There were lots of punctures in todays tour.

Until it was discovered that some b.......... has thrown tacks on the road.

He's been riding so poor all season he must be doing it out of desperation. Lets see if he owns up or if we get the contaminated meat/drink/natural blood level/false test results excuses.

Maybe it's class A's. Like you say he's been riding so badly it definetly isn't performance enhacing drugs.

Latest, Frank has left the tour, his team mates said he has no place on this tour any more. The sample was taken Saturday, it was a diuretic

frank schleck has not been suspended by uci until his b sample is tested which will happen within the next 4days. taking diuretics is not like taking epo. epo and other performance enhancing drugs are illegal in france but diuretics is not.

tomorrows stage is going to a killer can i see the pelenton being split up very quickly and at the back some 30 minutes behind the winner the sprinters union will form with cavendish leading it.

Good flag waving day on stage 18 for the Brits...

Mark Cavendish won the stage and the yellow jersey was again presented to Bradley Wiggins..

And all of this in front of French president Francois Hollande..

Time trial today and final stage on Sunday...
