I think he shouted "attack" and was misunderstoodQuote:

10/10 to sky for waiting for Evans
Sad day for the race, pointless gesture by some idiot - hope to god it wasn't a pissed up Brit who did it.
Very impressive and sort of poignant that it was on the anniversaty of Tom Simpson's death.Quote:

is anyone else bored with wiggo and team sky? he is the most boring rider since big mig. he just sits behind three or more other team sky bores. he has done nothing to talk about. thank god wiggo wont bore me to five titles or more.
this has been the worst tour i ve seen since the nineties when mig bored the whole cycling world. thank god when it is over.
nibs and evens had a go a while back but it now seems they have accepted the ginger berk is going to win. worst still he's a flipping jam fan.....shame on you and shave those idiot side burns and get some style.
why? it suited him and stopped nibs from attacking him. nice gentle ride to the finish line.Quote:

I agree it is a little boring this year, but its good to see British riders doing so well. Much more interesting when half of the peloton are on drugs.....!?
Boring, yes. Awful, probably the wrong word to describe a team that's so far dominated the competition. Fended of attack after attack, albeit boringly so. Ruthless calm efficiency produces results if not excitement.Quote:

I agree. It's the first time an Englishman has nearly won the Tour and I'm already bored. NOT.
I've watched the Tour since the Mid 80s and generally the yellow jersey is won by offence and then is defended and the rest are responsible for going on the offensive to try and unseat the incumbent.
Surely the grievance should be against the likes of Nibali - he talks a good game but has attacked less than Evans and mostly on the descents from what I've seen so far.
The Tour does seem to be short of climbers that can attack off a fast pace these days, maybe that's a reflection of the sport being cleaner.
