CD is changing engine again. Fresh news from PAU. :)

Insider info, thanks

So tack another 45 minutes to Cyrils scorecard. This changes things, big time.

Faria no longer a water carrier

Cyril is now the water carrier


Didn't see that one coming!

Well after a 6 hour journey in to oh! Canada (no mobile internet) I get caught up just after the finish..I think I'm going to write to the ASO and recommend shorter stages next year..This thread just gets way to far off track when it's so long. Amazing performance today by Le Patron, have to see if that post about 2nd swap is right, Now I'm ready for the evening shift of conspiracy theories

Just askin

NO, i think everyone would just think they're nuts!!!, why leave the best team with the best bike and support for teams that are proving to be not reliable or developed enough to win .

If I understand it right they play 11 frames so the first to get 6 is the winner. So it might be 6:3 "pretty" soon, or it might end up 6:5 in another hour.
