But that wasn't a real climb in relation to others in the race. I thought he might be able to hang today better than that. I didn't expect a win or even for him to be in the front group, but I expected he could do as well as Wigans...guess not.

I know the other climbs are far steeper. But is was a real climb. A lot like the Alpe d'huez, but a little bit longer. Have you climbed the Alpe? It is a real climb. Very real when you try to climb it.

David Millar finished 17 minutes down yesterday!

What happened there?

He is no climber.

Well... we found out why the service cars have sun roofs...

Hmm... I've encountered two rather fitting describtions of Chris... one was the local newspaper calling his face for a rubber face...
The other was the sports commentators calling his style arms and legs...
Gotta agree about the rubber face thing...
