Is anyone watching it this year? Watching the second stage now, Cav won the inter sprint, but it's been rough since then. Few riders out after a few crashes, team sky are down a member

The UCI don't want MTB-World-champs in their little staged mufti-billion doping-circus .
I couldn't care less, the only doping Michael Rasmussen ever did was THC ..
Unlike Mr 60% Bjarne Riis !
His 'defence' ? 'I've never tested positive !! '
Lance is saying the same now

Don't like the MTB snobishness..

Like watching the downhilling on freecaster at times.

Don't like the MTB snobishness..

Well ..
It's not the MTB'ers saying you can't use suspension-forks in Paris-Roubaix !

In MTB'ing you mend your own mechanical defects our you are out of the race !!
It's like road-cycling used to be when it was a mans sport -

Grand-slalom is also a lot more fun to watch than 'downhill', isn't it ?

Well Sagan won, wiggins nearly got fucked and I wished Chavenel got that win... shame about the damage

Nothing really matters before the mountains ..
That's when I will start watching the Tour, all this WADA-shit with nightly raids and whatnot has kinda put me off ..

Your right really, but it does all count. Its not nice missing great moment either, they can happen early on.

tags used in case people haven't watched it yet.

wow.. so sky lead out, at the front most of the race. Expecting them to give Cav a day, nope just there to make sure Wiggin's is okay..... sickening. Sky was a bid mistake...

Come on cav! !

Was glued to the TV yesterday. Fantastic result and the one that we all wanted - Wiggo winning the GC, Froome coming in second and Cav getting the final stage sprint. The Euro football was rubbish so it was brilliant for us to get this one. Anything we get in the Olympics will be a bonus. I'll be looking out for the rowers though - Katherine Grainger gave a talk at my company and said she would run around naked through London if she won gold. I'm looking forward to it!
