    Which rider will be missed the most in this year's TDF

    I'm really missing a competitive Cadel Evans. Of the various multifarious characters who make up the peloton today, Cadel's story is one I feel a lot of empathy for, so some success for him is often hoped for and, increasingly, rarely now evinced. Is this it for him now? I hope not.

    ****-king adverts!! I'm alternating ITV4 with Eurosport but it's still annoying me. Where's best strategy for minimising my exposure to the ****ing things?

    Taking away Pantani's 1998 TdF win?

    Hang on. This kid was an incredibly talented cyclist obsessed with his bike. In fact it was the only thing he could do. In this context, you don't have to stretch your empathy that far as to see him as a victim of an environment and age where to not dope would've taken away the viabilty of his...

    Said like a shamefaced penitent before Captain Kirk from one of the Universe's more unruly colonies. As the great man himself might say: "Play fair chaps, eh?".

    Oh my Lord. Listen, sorry, I'm new. I've clearly stumbled into a petty schoolyard squabble you're having over "who can slag off each other's pet rider the most". Apologies. I'll move on.
