So, bad organizations and bad tv coverage (timing). Great start  

I'm very sad for Valverde, i hope that he's ok

Valverde is very likely to be out for the season.

They missed almost all interesting Germans, they missed a ton of outsiders (or only showed them for a few seconds), the timing suuuuuucked....this wasn't good

Luke Durbridge has stopped and is the 3rd DNF of the Tour.

 

By the way, was it really necessary to write 'Men's Road Cycling' (yes, even with capital letters) in the thread title? Come on, it's in the road cycling subforum and there's no women's Tour de France, of course it's 'men's road cycling', this unnecessary stuff is frustrating me so much

So apparently Croatian cyclists had 100% efficiency of falling in yesterday's prolouge.

Yes  

 

Mostly because the commentators on Belgian TV were referring to Laszlo Bodrogi, who won the ITT in the Driedaagse De Panne in 2004 after using the slipstream of a passing tram for several kilometers, resulting in him beating Robert Bartko by less than a second

Honestly, I find capitalised letters more appealing to look at for a title. It's like a title for a film or a song. Like an individual name, so in this case it is the name of this thread and we all know, you start a name with a capital letter. Okay, except for 'heywoodu', 'dcro' or 'hckosice'.

Yes, but apart from the obvious fact that 'Men's road cycling' is not necessary because 'Tour de France' in the 'Road cycling' subforum is clear enough, only 'Men's' with a capital letter should be enough, It's Not Needed To Start Every Word With A Capital Letter
