I'm a little confused (which doesn't take much nowadays). So Rowe and Martin got chucked out the Tour but they can appeal (which they already have). The appeal system times out a 11am. All the riders are now riding through the neutral zone prior to the start. Would the 2 riders start the race until timed out of the appeal and then climb off if unsuccessfull or would they have already been told that before the race start. Be funny if the appeal was successful and they had an hour to make up during the race. :lol: Seems odd that the appeal time finishes after start time.

They're 1 hour ahead in France if you are in UK.

They had a segment with those guys on Danish television Sunday. Gave me a much needed laugh on a day when I'd been suffering from headaches all day. :D

Lets see what happens after the sprint, but they might be going full gas to the climb after that if it does not go
Still better to put dudes in front if only to makebsure you have dudes over the Izoard

I know. But I think they are still trying. It has not stopped yet. And the break hasnt really gone yet. Let see what happens as I said.
