Jimmy_Fingers.... yours and my knowledge of Pro Racing and TdF is pretty much at the same level, i.e. limited but improving slowly. We learn stuff from the oldies on here, from news reports and the odd blog here and there. But the difference is that as soon as you gain the tiniest nugget of new knowledge you feel you have to form an opinion about it.
Then you arrive here to shout out your most recent opinion, that you've held for all of five minutes, and the arguments begin....
Err, pardon?
