a lot of people actually watch the Tour for the cows

Sagan in another break! I'm loving the way he's going after the points. Nice seeing Luis Leon Sanchez and Martin Velits in there too. Also, I rather adored Izagirre with is fake out sprint for the points. And then later Eisel acting like he was going to contest Greipel's try for points. I'm also hoping Sagan in the break means Nibali's going to attack again. I am liking that guy more and more this year.

Frank looks in better and better spirits as this thing progresses. It was also nice seeing him in the clip about how dangerous the descents are getting. Not surprised and glad to hear him being critical of them. It does make good tv, I guess, but I don't like seeing them go down at all, especially when some of these crashes end up being career enders, like Beloki's 2003 Tour crash.

It's pretty disappointing to hear that Thor's sickness is now going to have him out of the Olympics. I am really missing his surprise climbing skills.

Oh look, Phil and Paul are blaming the riders for the crashes again. Surprise surprise. These guys are so bad at acknowledging that these guys ride in a larger world of race organizers and other idiots who have no consideration for their well-being. Yeah, see, now they've just turned off onto a cow path. If these idiots didn't want to see crashes they wouldn't put them on these ridiculous roads. There's barely room for these guys to pass each other.

Wow, Sagan is apparently channeling Thor today.

"He's still learning about his body." Oh Paul. You make it sound like Sagan's going through puberty or something.

See, this is exactly why these roads are ridiculous. The defending Tour winner is going to lose time because there wasn't enough room for his team car to get up? I wonder where Tejay was, but I'm guessing he was ahead and already over. I'm impressed with the peloton for slowing down, but not pleased with Rolland for attacking. Maybe he didn't know what was going on with all the flats, but he is not going to make any friends with that move. But the waiting, it's why I love this sport.

That really sucks about Kiserlovski. He must have been who crashed. I wonder if that was also because of a flat. There's no way all these flats are happening without help from some idiot.

So there were tacks. I figured it had to be something. That is so insane. It would be nice if they had a chance of catching who did that. And they've caught Rolland. I really think he didn't know what was happening, especially reading this from Nibali. Sounds like things were pretty confusing. And yeah, Rolland didn't know what was happening and his team car was too far back to know either and apparently wasn't answering his queries. Poor kid

Sanchez! That is pretty awesome. Glad to see him get his almost yearly Tour win.

Really impressed with BMC today. Those guys are pretty badass. Nice that so many other guys got to catch up since the front group stopped racing. And yeah, there really was no way for Tejay to stop for him. I still don't think he even knew what was happening. Seriously, and now the interviewer is trying to make him feel guilty for not stopping? What is wrong with these people? It wouldn't've been good for the team for him to sacrifice his lead if the peloton decided to attack.

Oh Sagan. He's so cute with his little fannishness over Sanchez and Gilbert. Seriously, how adorable is that kid?
