Agree with everyone that Quintana is done.

What does everyone think of Jens Voight doing commentary? Dude was cracking me up with that accent.

Didn't realize that Sylvain Chavanel was still racing. Dude has to be up there in age

Back when he was still riding, he would give long interviews post-race. He was by far more articulate than any other English speaking rider.

I sent NBC an email and told them they needed to hire him as soon as he retired. They did, but I suspect it was already in the works.

Jens Voight is awful. Whoever thought he had a voice for TV should be fired.

Also LOL at watching CVV talked about Froome doping yesterday..awkward

At this point I have no idea who wins this tour. Things should correct themselves some tomorrow for the big teams

Could see some fairly large gaps today. Will be interesting to see how much BMC, Sky and some others gain in the GC battle against the weaker teams.

Voight "it cuts through the air like a butter through knife"

That TTT bike he just showed looked as though it has a solid rubber tire at the front. I didn't see a valve, but they are saying they are pumped up to 120psi. That's pretty robust.

I really enjoy all the time trials. The TTT is fascinating. A team pulling at 35mph is crazy.

I’m interested to see how Sky play it with G.

He’s worthy of being a GC leader and he could put a lot of time into some players on the cobbles. No doubt they will sacrifice him for Froome

BMC in the lead so far

Watching the clean feed on NBC gold has been the tits.

Movistar are terrible. Their entire management team should be fired

I think it's entered the Jaundice-like Yellow and purple phase

These are REAL athletes. Amazing.

I'll take this over the world cup any day.
