I am surprised to see Mollema and Yates so high in the overall ranking, do they have a chance for the podium?

Mollema is usually a very strong climber, but on the level slightly behind the absolute top (which should normally be Froome, Contador, Quintana and possibly Valverde). Personally I think it's realistic to see him stay ahead of the likes of Yates, Bardet, Van Garderen etc, whether or not he stays ahead of Quintana depends on Quintana's shape in the last week. 

 

Yates is surpising me as well, but is already seen as a serious talent for quite some time. I am still doubting he'll stay on a podium position when the other big mountain stages come, because he only has a very small advantage over the Movistar pair Quintana and Valverde, whereas Mollema has quite a good advantage over them.

This guy again :facepalm:Should have been declassiffied for blocking Kittell. What a disgrace it is going to be when this talantless cyclist breaks Merckx's record.

Talentless? Come on :roflmao:

 

I mean, we can not like whoever we want of course, but if you honestly think Cavendish is talentless...no, just no :d

Yes he is the worst kind, sand-bagging till the last 50 metres and then glorifies like he is the king of the world. And it even has to be purely flat, because if its a little uphill he squerms like a worm and gas comes out of his ass... I hate, hate, hate this in modern cycling.

    • Not in modern times (believe it has happened back in the 19th century). The Social Democrats were rather close in the mid-30s, but generally it's been the Social Democrats as the largest getting challenged by either Venstre (the old, liberal party) or the Conservatives (though their latest peak was in the 80s). Keep in mind that most Danish governments have been minority governments. The latest government (well, it's still the government until the new one is formed) was the first one since the early 90s and only the 5th since the Second World War.
    • Always, when I go from the high mountains- Moena to Trento at the beginning of March, I could already feel spring - green all around, olive trees etc. A nice contrast.
    • Were there times when a party had an absolute majority in your country?
    • It is interesting how it just feels 100% different than all of the rest   We had to go to a doctor in Bolzano and one in Trento, so that particular time we weren't there for very long, but driving back north after the visit in Trento felt like a relief, somehow     Same when driving back from Milan/Bergamo (where I said Bologna earlier, I meant Bergamo) towards Tramin/Termeno, despite certainly not living there it kind of felt like driving towards home
