You did post a spoiler.... And you were not baited. You made a comment about Cadel winning, youngest (i think) made a joke about that. You pretended not to get it, referred to yourself in the third person, then asked whether anyone would like to know the tennis results... And when noone answered you posted it anyway.

You knew it was not appreciated to post spoilers (see Hitch's post), and then claimed you didn't know and that it was an 'innocent mistake.'

boy your quick. i make a mid length post and 1 minute later you have already read it and reffered to it in another mid length post

Ask the riders and the guys in the cars, they're that ones that make the race.

I dunno, i suppose it gives us a chance to come here and talk complete ******** to strangers for several hours..

Its also shown Lars Boom isnt particularly clued up on tactics on winning races..

150- 200 km a day times 19 (excluding tts) = 3000+ km so you can call it a tour.
50km a day times 19 = 1000 km not really worthy of being called the tour de france.

While I would like to leave the impression that I am some kind of magical wizard who can type like the wind, the "see Hitch's post" was added after I originally posted it.

If you edit your post within a minute or two of originally posting it, for some reason the "edit at:...." line at the bottom doesn't appear.

Anyone know what the final K is like for the sprint? Any turns? pancake flat? road furniture?

I think it's slightly uphill and completely straight.

Use Chopper or Crocodile Dundee, they're what we think every Aussie is like.

It's fatigue, I guess. 210 kms in front affect the legs.

That I knew for sure.

Was great, we watched it in the cafeteria of my highschool with about 1000 other kids. Never had so much fun at a football game. Will never forget it.
