Re: I doubt if Andy even knew what was going on, let alone be 'huddled with his classmates'. Either way, it doesn't really have much bearing on any doping that he may have done...

Re: Re: From what I remember, he was in another part of the school that day and wasn't fired at. I think it's more that he's just naturally a competitive and single-minded individual...

Anyone know when the TV coverage of the actual race proper is likely to begin (Eurosport seem to have pretty much their whole morning and afternoon dedicated to it)?

Perhaps a clash of two huge egos... :confused:

Yes Minister? :cool:

I guess it shows that most people in Briton have these prejudices or, at least, are quite conservative and view left-wing thinking as a threat to their way of life. Naturally, they choose to read papers that print articles which agree with this (just as socialists like to read papers which agree...

To be fair, we've been mainly characterising the paper and its readers by... the paper and it's readers! :p Sure, not all the stories are reprehensible (and neither are all the readers) but it does tend to pander to many of the prejudices that exist within our society (xenophobia, racism etc.).

Typical British response to something which inconveniences them slightly. It seems that most British people have an over-inflated sense of their own importance and cannot accept anything that impedes them even in the slightest. I like how one guy complained that he had to walk 2 miles (2...

I guess that depends on whether or not the contracts are held with Garmin or with Slipstream. I would also imagine that keeping the sponsors happy is important to JV and, as such, he is likely to have thought about that before making this decision. On a side note, is Thor regarded as a...

I've not seen too many posts arguing that cyclists and DSs shouldn't be allowed to use twitter, more that on many occasions they have been stupid for doing so and, in these cases, that maybe Twitter isn't such an awesome thing...

Millar has odds of 3/1 which, when you consider EBH's odds and their their relative performances and strengths, isn't too bad...

Decided to take a mid-afternoon nap while nothing was happening and wake up to find all hell has broken loose! Shame for Wiggo and all the Sky riders who had to wait. Not sure if they could have stayed in the main group, but would it not have been possible to leave some of the riders (Thomas...

While it is certainly appropriate to call into question the actions of the cyclists which seemed to contribute to the accident. However, I feel that this should be done from a dispassionate viewpoint and I certainly feel uneasy when people view serious injury or death as being some sort of...

To be fair, he says that top 10 is a very good possibility and top 5 could happen if he is very good. Not a wildly outrageous thing to say, I think. Of course, no one thinks Wiggins can win it (including, probably, Wiggins himself).
