The only thing more annoying than that fucking watch advert is the constant use of "For sure" by everyone. Absolutely everyone - riders (no matter whether they're native English speakers or not), commentators, reporters, team bosses.... Everyone! Just stop it.....
Those wonderful norks are never far from my thoughts, oh yeah!

I think it used to be more the 'foreign' riders, but it certainly has crossed to the Brits now.  Geraint Thomas has been doing it for a while.  And there's a lot of phatic 'Yeah's too, particularly from Simon Yates and Dan Martin.

And we’re off! Haven’t felt this level of anticipation for a stage in a while. Imagine the nerves in the peloton.

Echelons for sure.

I think not young Bobbers Skywalker. What about what's-his-face, on Eurosport, who always predicates his responses with "Yes, well" in his broad mumbling Oirish.

I think this is the interview that the Colemantators were alluding to regarding Fuglsang not being happy about Aru - Chrome's translator is correct, he doesn't want to ride a GT with him again:

Jakob Fuglsang believes it was a mistake to Astana teammate Fabio Aru attack, when the Dane was in eruption on the ninth stage.

It's no wonder he packed if he was erupting during a stage :P

Dan Martin seemed pretty philosophical at the end of todays stage.  Looked like Jack Bauer might have been able to drag him across the gap initially if Martin had the legs. I reckon Quickstep will have him in Belgian races in February in punishment for missing out on an echelon stage. That's basically their raison d'etre. :)
