They'll be photographing London soon as well, so don't do anything in public that you don't want saved for posterity on Google Maps...

they've all ready started - have seen their cars a couple of times now

Brilliant. Gotta love the views up L'Alpe D'Huez.

i'd rather a good view of a glass fronted fridge of Leffe...
i'm usually found on the Pista !
hic.

anyone else watching the pre show on itv4?

got me all excited now, want to get out on my bike and ride up a hill

yep. watched it all.

fucking love it, can't wait.

if there's one thing I like as much as cycling, that's sitting on my arse and watching it!

With a beer in your hand?

hell yes. well a lager shandy, i am after all 'part athlete'

(he says taking a second helping of curry whilst preparing a ciggie)

I'm suffering from poor timing and am going to miss the first two stages on account of being out on a 400k tomorrow and Sunday. Should get a punt on Cav winning the first and and Thomas on the second just for that.

As an aside, should get quite interesting when the Olympic thinning kicks in.

Cavendish won't win tomorrow as the finish is up a 2k climb. He'll have more of a chance on Sunday.

400km? hope you're riding fixed

ill be in france to see either the start or finish of one of the stages in narbonne

400km? hope you're riding fixed

Like hell. I only put my first fixed together last week and have so far spent a grand total of an hour and twenty minutes careening around Tesco's carpark like and idiot. I'll be hitting the gears all the way and oh yes, there will be chevrons.

If Cadel Evans wins, I will be utterly ecstatic.

go, son!!!

Don't do hats. A new helmet would be good.
