lol met a mate at the pub and he has a whisky collection for polish off before he heads back to the UK for a bit 🙂 Knife to a gun fight in comparison 🙂
Anyway it's a Mclaren Vale Cab Sav in keeping with the tour down under's stomping ground.
Little chuckle as the Aussies comment on Porte's Map of Tassie on his chain around his neck, the map of Tassie being something out of fashion with modern women in the downstairs hair dressing stakes these days 🙂
Does anyone else find these kind of stages incredibly stressful to watch live?
The G&T 'festival' in the T5 FLounge is helping soothe the nerves!
Is it your own private 'festival' captain? Are you being 'monitored' by security? 🙂
😆
Nope. Some sort of promotional thing. About twenty different gins and almost as many different tonics.
Which is nice.
and not long till it gets really interesting, 4 with Froome 3 with Porte look like the 2 strongest at the end in terms of team mates, I reckon the break will make it today, GC battle towards the end of the climb then big balls contest to the finish
Sadly I'm going to be boarding before the end! Delayed knowledge of the results!
What no wifi in the front end these days? How the other half travel 😉
and in honour of the climb Le Chat
and who else wants to see that bloke ride off the top 🙂
Huck to flat!
Well BMC certainly look interested here
Aru and Quintana off Froome puncture!!
Porte in the chase going to be a harsh one, Aru attacks when Frome puts his hand up
No honour in cycling these days
there is now
Dirty and shitty to see- respect to the Peleton if not to Aru - went immediately poor poor form but honour restored
COME ON RICHIE!!!
Berty's gone pop. Some savage attacking cycling.
Aru gone, Martin gone, Quintana gone Fuslang in sight
Aru's back on after some encouragement from a shark.
and for those interested I've skipped the beer and gone to the Arran 18 for the finish
bye nairo
Looks like a potentially messy finish in Oz Mike!
I only have 200ml of the fine drop!! Can see Porte moving up today hopefully
Maybe Aru knew Froome had called for his "special climbing bike" that allows him to ride off the front, and he'd better get a shift on. 😉
Can see Porte moving up today hopefully
🙁
Porte & martin down
Ooof!
Ouch!
Shit Porte and Martin down not a good day
kin hell portes race over surely
[quote=mikewsmith ]COME ON RICHIE!!!
that was a horrible crash hope he is ok and hope they all get home safe
end of his tour, lots of swear words here that looked brutal
Shit the bed!
Last man standing or something?
Martin down again!
That looked really horrible 🙁
Gutted for DM.
Carnage!
Jesus that was a brutal one,hope his neck it ok,jeez.
Looks bad, neck brace going on is not good, hope Martin gets back
They keep saying it's dry, but that looks like plenty of damp in some of the corners.
Richie Porte a liability on the descents.
That was horrible. .
really DTF? Usual shite from a troll
Looks like he just ran out of road
**** sake, reminds me of the descent of the olympics this, its so risky with everyone racing, just dangerous especially with patchy wet roads, hate seeing this
hitting dan martin might have saved porte's life there, used him as a crash barrier and surely took out the blunt force of hitting the rocks 👿
[quote=davidtaylforth ]Richie Porte a liability on the descents.
not the place/time for your [ usually excellent]trolling
Not a good spot to get Richie away in a helicopter, good luck to him.
