You were assuming I was swearing on those nice Spanish people?

I would never do that.

Viva Espana, lets pump more Euro's in that country.

But, perhaps we will see footage and I will look like a fool

Robbie Ruigh for the win!

Don't worry, we'll look like fools together.

Now go smoke some weed.

I would hate it to be proved wrong by Carlton Kirby... but let's hope that's the case.

I think I'd become a hermit and live in a cave if Carlton Kirby ever proved me wrong.

 

[RedheadDane]

Valverde's out!
Dunno much... other than he crashed. Should be okay.

From the schedules I got it should be on from 15:30 (DK time... dunno what that is for everyone else) on Eurosport. If there are pictures...

Sergi López-Egea reports
"Valverde y Capecchi han llegado al hotel del Movistar en Rialp donde el doctor Hoyos los atiende aparentemente sin fracturas ni nada grave"

It seems they will be fine, no broken bones...

For now I'm stuck watching women sweeping on Eurosport.

Glad to see there's still women out there who know their place.

i don't know why, but there is something about seeing women sweeping the floor that just feels right
