I feel terrible for Andrew Talansky. Poor guy. He's cycling along in tears now.

Has peter sagan's confidence gone a bit. He should have been able to go with Gallopin. No need to worry about Kwiatkowski, surely? Just one quick burst.

I think I'm OK on the structure and tactics of the sport and how it all works and plays out but I'm useless on the technical things about the bikes.......when they start going on about bottom brackets my eyes glaze over
To be honest I'm not even sure how gears work.........I never rode a bike with gears I certainly don't understand how the chain can jump from one ring to another one.........and become a bigger chain on a bigger ring....... ![]() So normally there will be 5 to 7 gear wheels on the back, giving you that number of gears. If you have 2 front gear wheels, then you get twice the gears, although there will be some overlap. |

Talansky inside the time limit but fined 50 CHF for something or other. I did't see it but sounded a bit mean by his team, he's had 2 crashes, a day off and still in pain, and they make him ride to the end as if they can magically sort it overnight? Chances are he wont start tomorrow anyway.

No, i agree.
Think I'd heard it was his back playing up so unlikely to be able to ride back into form easily. |

No great surprise: Andrew Talansky is leaving the Tour and will not start today.

From what I can tell, no one forced him to ride on, they just told him (rightly, IMO) that if he was going to abandon there and then, he needed to be sure that it was the right decision for him.

Well that's a bit sad, one amazing season, Sky contract, then rubbish results, caught for doping at Endura and banned. Seems obvious now what happened, but I wanted him to be legit :/
2012 Tour of Britain winner is now .. Nathan Haas, who? |

I am expecting a bold showing from Richie Porte today with G spurring him on,
praying Nibali has a bad day soon as well |
