Someones picked up via other means. There's a been a 2014 Vuelta file released today.
Again shows nothing apart from how to beat Froome. |

Maybe thats the hacking that Brailsford was on about then. Just didnt really add up that the 2013 Ventoux data was what he was talking about when he said 'hacked'. Its hardly likely to show anything spectacularly incriminating anyway if they were happy to give it to a newspaper to try to defend Froome (unless im missing something)

Some interesting news that doesn't seem to have been covered in many places. Seems that a fan punched Richie Porte on the climb at stage 10, after the tacks in 2012 and the syringes in 2013 it shows some cycling fans to be complete morons.
Potentially an issue to take account of when backing/laying Froome for GC. |

I lived in France for 5 years and though there are many nice people there are still a lot of French that hate the British and all we stand for. Hence the hatred for Team Sky. The instances with Porte and Froome in the last couple of days do not shock me at all. I remember being in La Toussuire in 2012 when Wiggins went to the presentation post stage to receive the yellow jersey, not one person applauded or cheered and in fact some openly booed. The French have a massive chip on their shoulders where we British are concerned and it hurts them to see us dong so well in the tour when their riders are struggling. Just hope Froomey wins by 10 mins + now and really sticks two fingers up to them.

A rider tweeted he saw a spectator spit on Richie Porte on stage 15. Stay classy France.

Yes Porte and Rowe were both spat on yesterday as well as Froome being disgracefully attacked, Sky had a full gendarme guard when warming up today, is terrible to see. The French press have a lot to answer for, they are continually questioning how clean Sky and Froome are and suggesting that their methods are not in the spirit of cycling!

Exactly the same argument as 15 years ago

I've not done very well on this Tour de France, it will be my worst Grand Tour for some time and I'm due to make an overall loss. I'm red on Froome (and Quintana) and have written that off. I'm also red on Sagan in the green market, and need Greipel to save me there. I'm fairly happy with my analysis of the points classification but just identified the wrong sprinter. The stages have been slightly better but I've only managed to find the winners of bunch sprints so far and the couple of placed riders I've found elsewhere haven't been enough to save me.

Join the club. Have made a good profit in every GT since 2011 apart from Giro 2014 & Vuelta 2013. Three figures down at the moment with nothing to come on the overall unless we get a Pereiro situation.
I've had bad days, really bad days and moderately successful days. Still time to pull it back in the Alps though. |

Couldn't believe Froome was still near 3.0 yesterday, thought he'd be closer to evens. |
