"I notice a poster reckons it's only 16 days before the greatest cyclist alive returns. Well if you want a tour rider Hinault is still alive and if you want winners then van Looy and Maertens and Kelly are still alive. They probably won't "return" but one of them might still be the greatest...

Suddenly I wish I'd come second again.

Tragedy strikes the Tour as an idiot is impaled by a camera boom.

You missed out Rabo's 10th man - Phantom rider Maarten Jangel-ee.

For those in the UK who haven't noticed (i.e., me until half an hour ago) there's live coverage every night from 10 p.m. on ITV4. Yay ! No squinting at the PC for once. Thanks ITV.

Atomic wedgies all round ? Or maybe "the dreaded Rear Admiral" ? :eek:

Adieu, Laurent, et merci.

Yes he did. Lucky George. :D Lucky girl, too, BTW. Under my plan she could have ended up with The Chicken. :p

Frightens me: looks like Vino in a wig. :eek:

Just beautiful. :D

I never liked time bonuses when we had them, but I was wrong and I'd like them back. Please. Also, time bonuses for the first (and only the first) rider over a climb, not just on MTFs, but during stages: graded for cat, e.g. 3 secs for a cat two, 10 for a cat one, 20 for an HC. A GC contender...

Still 3 stages to go, so don't despair ! Wouldn't be surprised to see him come out of the start house going sideways on Saturday. ;)

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, macarena !" And-eight-more-words-to-make-up-ten.

"Sorry, Stevie, but I'm afraid you're spending this evening with that pretty little thing in the spotted hat."

Bradley's determination not to bonk had some unforeseen consequences.......
