I believe Goss was in the right, think the penalty was uncalled for. If Sagan wants to hug wheels then that's just bad luck to him.
I'm not so sure, he would of had to of known sagan was going to be following on that side fairly closely (that's the advantage of chasing over the second or two the attacker gets up on them) and he seemed to deliberately swerve quite far in that direction.
May of been an accident, but either way was quite unfortunate for Sagan.

Brad had something to say today in the Guardian (good paper). Reiterating how disgusted he was when the Cofidis team withdrew from the 2007 (the one where Vino doped, Ramussen doped and Contador won...) tour after a doping scandal and about how much he has to lose.

LOL nothing to do with Evans not being good enough this year so far then?
Nothing at all to do with that. I'm pretty surprised you'd bring up Evans when I'm clearly talking about Froome. Anyway, I suggest you go and watch the 2011 Vuelta.
Wonder why such a boring stage is set for July 14th. Some frenchmen will attack early, lead until ~5 km before the finish lane, get overtaken by the sprinters and Cavendish/Greipel/Goss/Sagan will win.

Quite a mission with the side wind today, lol.. I think Sky is going to go boss-mode as soon as it starts and then it gets tough to sit in a breakaway
Really hoping for Mørkøv! Put him as captain of my manager team last night, because apparently, his father passed away on this day 5 years ago, and he would like to do something out of the ordinary to honour him
GOGOGOGOGO!!!
The first link of chain forged, the first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.
Even though team Saxo Bank is having a bit of an off-Tour this year with Contador being out, it at least paves the way for the Danish riders going for it alone and trying to do things!
I'm so proud of Mørkøv's courage will and power. What a rider we've seen so far and i'm sure there's alot more to come. I haven't been this impressed and proud as a dane since Nicki Sørensen won in 2009. It's really beautiful what he a showed in gratitude of his dad. Almost an open onion on my table here. Incredible strength, well done!

The only other example i can remember right now is this:
Loved seeing Wiggins and Van den Broeck help their sprinters.
This whole tour must feel incredibly shitty for Cavendish. He said he would be more in shape for the mountains this year to prepare for the Olympics, and he is losing the flat stages to Greipel as well as stages like this.
Wiggins! What an amazing man, working for Eddy in the finnish today. To bad Eddy didn't take this, but he have demolished the peleton for many days now, so can't expect him to take this.
