But he robbed himself by touching wheels. Great effort though.

Damn here comes Hatch.

After a weekend of having to deal with Hatch it's lovely to hear Carlton.

There seemed to be a lot more fuss made over Lamperti when they both joined the team. Has he been injured? Will his contract be renewed as it is up this year?

In the 80s I liked Roche, Chiapucci, Bugno and Fignon Then I got bored of tours and switched allegiance to Belgian classics riders. So obviously Boonen and Gilbert but also Stybar (a kind of honorary Belgian). Current favourite rider is Remco.

Nice 110 points for Astana in Spain today. Scaroni is back!

Glad I missed the Hatch-led mourn-in. Crashes do unfortunately happen, but the racing goes on. Now that they have adverts I have switched to ITV which I avoided in the past because of ads. I do miss listening to Carlton rambling about French farms and such on a dull stage like today.

With all these crashes I made the right choice watching on ITV rather than listen to Hatch screaming "No No No No No No".

Need a bigger trophy cabinet

Decent length of course (41km). Ony the Polish one seemed longer at 41.9km.

80 points for Intermarche and 195 for Astana

Astana do have the fourth most wins this season; most off them at .Pro level.

I won't be able to get that notion out of my head for a while, though wouldn't it be great if they intermingled commentary usage of the Profanosaurus?

A few years ago there wouldn't have been (m)any Quickstep riders in there because about 15 of them would have won a race by now. Now they don't even make top tens that often.
