It was a quote from one of the Sky medical team, but I was pretty deep into anti-doping twitter so no genuine reference sorry.
Edit: think it might be from Freeman’s new book!

The bookies clearly didn’t believe in Sky Sensations - Geraint was $26 to win last night, even though he’d destroyed everyone in the Dauphine on the exact same finish. I like those odds!

Has to be canned - stays fresher for longer.

Gallopin out. Funky Bauke Mollema struggling big time.

Nibali! Noooooooooo!
(Also, what an utter joke of a stage - they took 5 minutes out of KRUIJSWIJK before the 3km mark on the final climb? Really?)
Edit:
Nibali taken out by a spectator, rides furious to be only 15s of the winner.
Dan Martin, Romain Bardet, Primoz Roglic and so on all nearly collapsed when the cross the line, sky look like they’ve been for a cooldown ride and give effortless interviews. I don’t believe in miracles anymore. This looks like a joke, and it’s on us.

There’s a bit of [phone video](http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/vincenzo-nibali-out-of-the-tour-de-france/) which seems to show that the specatators got too close, or that Nibali was too far over. But there were no barriers and someone had let off an orange smoke flare so his vision would have been limited.

So many believing they’re all riding legit. So did Lance. Right.

So Dumo is the only one left with any hope of upsetting Sky. WTF ever happened to Quintana? I thought that this might be his year. He seems to have gone backwards. Get him out of Movistar and into a new team.

Gianni Moscon’s distinguishes career as he develops boxing techniques for use in bicycle.
See also “Nacer Bouhani”.
In all seriousness though, I’m glad they threw him out of the race. That behaiviour has no place in a pro peloton and won’t be doing SKY any favours in their PR campaign

He could have punched Froome instead to become a hero.

And Roglic, according to the SBS commentary anyway. Of course they are probably just trying to breathe some life into a dead race, I hope they’re right.

A racist like Moscon would have to do a lot more than inflict more violence to become a ‘hero’ in my eyes.

Agreed. I can’t be arsed reading up on this, but has Brailsford even addressed the racism? If not, he’s complicit in his silence.
Also, Brailsford is a shithead. Fuck that guy and his bigotry.

Fails to condemn racist member of team, insults head of uci, massively undermines cycling as a whole. But it’s the French character that is the problem.

French farmers blocking the Tour with hay bales?
Could happen anywhere.
