Seriously!

Maybe Vino hopes to be a factor again today.

Anyone else thinking today is the last day to watch the 2012 TdF?

According to people on team Saxo Chris Anker didn't crash but got his hand stuck in his front wheel trying to remove a newspaper.
Would also explain why he was bleeding so badly from his hand while his clothes didn't bear any signs of crashing.

Eeh... Geraint... make that 10!

Has a rider ever been reported for inappropriate urination?

Yes it happens:

ie. 2011 TdF Voeckler and Terpstra

Terpstra kreeg ook nog een boete van 100 Zwitserse franken (ongeveer 85 euro). De jury zag dat hij in het openbaar plaste. Ook de Franse klassementsleider Thomas Voeckler werd daar met hetzelfde bedrag voor beboet.

Oleg Tinkov just said on Russian Eurosport that Chris Sorensen tried to get newspaper from his chain and left 3 fingers without skin - the weel chewed it.

Now doctors are helping him.:(

I'm rooting for Kessiakoff, but Voeckler simply deserves that jersey the way he's riding unfortunately. Maybe Kessiakoff can beat him on the Port the Bales if the break's still ahead there, but I doubt it.

This has to be the most boring tour in years. Wiggins hasn't had to defend once. I don't consider chasing Nibs with 1K left, defending....

Is there a record for most climbs won in a row? Voeckler is currently on 9...

Has to be a record, but it's going to be stuck at 10 methinks.
