What, no thread yet debating likely winners and bemoaning doping? I just have a question...what was the meaning of Peter Sagan's victory gesture? I'm used to the Manx Missile doing the equivalent of spiking the ball, but that flapping the arms with fingertips on shoulders was pretty odd. He said he did it just for fun. All I could think was it was something like "I've got wings on". Or is it the Slovakian version of the Funky Chicken?

He's a weird guy but man he is fast. He gets a thousand mile stare at strange times, like on the podium at the Tour de Cali with two beautiful girls kissing him.

Nice to see someone else win besides Sagan, even if it is Cav.

Well, today Sagan did the running man...I bet next time we get the sprinkler

..patiently waiting for Chris Horner to get out in a break like he did at the Amgen TOC, except maybe..stay ahead to the finish.

GO THE HORNER!

Same here. But I always have a soft spot for Cadel (or for any ex-MTBer). But as soon as the climbing stages come, I'll be glued to the coverage again.

Plus, Hutchinson Tires aren't making a splash right now on any team like they have been historically speaking.

I thought it'd be cool to share this. Many do not know that the French Tire/Chemical company was founded by an american citizen (but it's still fun to poke fun at the French). From Obama's presidential car, to worldwide military run-flat tires to road tubeless, I'm really grateful to be associated with Hutchinson Tires for over 8 yrs now.
