Update on this case, seems the lenient sentence is to be appealed against: http://local.stv.tv/edinburgh/227573-crown-to-appeal-unduly-lenient-sentence-of-driver-gary-mccourt/

Seems today's stage is officially cancelled. And I took a day off work to watch it too. Curse you Mother Nature! :)

Exactly. Or if someone shoots you and you die it's your fault for not wearing a bulletproof vest. I hope the family of the victim appeal the verdict. This idiot driver will be back on the roads around Edinburgh (where I live) in five years time.

One of the worst aspects of this sentencing was that the sherrif stated that the cyclist was partly responsible for her death because she wasn't wearing a helmet.

I reckon Wiggins initially aimed at the Giro because the team management gently guided him down that path: "you'd really make history if you won the Giro, whereas two Tour wins is less historic" and Wiggins' ego agreed. Plus, Wiggins has said he hadn't enjoyed the Tour last year. Now the bad...

More importantly than him being a Brit is that he's a mod, and mods never took drugs...oh, wait a sec... For what it's worth - which is nothing - I actually believe that he's telling the truth.

AS not starting the Tour according to Twittersphere.

We all know Wiggins likes a bit of that, and I like him all the more for it. :)

Wiggins tweeted earlier that he had bought his Pinarello. Is that something he would do if Pinarello were staying on as Sky sponsor? Could Specialized be about to sponsor Sky? Or is Wiggins just buying the bike because it's likely to get replaced by a 2012 edition? Conjecture, conjecture...

You mean English, not British. You lost to the English at cricket. Aussies have a rivalry with the English, not the Scots, Welsh or Northern Irish. Us Scots have no rivals, except the English. :D
