Tour De France 2011

Bald men are dope

I can confirm this

My prediction for today is the break will get caught too early, and then a counter attack will stay away after an attack on the final Cat 4 of the day.

Time for Chavanel to try something, or are his injuries too bad?

My prediction for today is that everybody will get tired of racing before the finish. There will then be a long café stop and everybody will get on and be good friends.

Assos is for Aussie gimps.

dtm.

Better?

For many, this pressure is too much and they can live up the hopes and expectations.

That should be 'can't', shouldn't it?

Much.

puts on Mapei/Aussie top, sups beer

is thor risking a fine here?

So apparently cyclists never put their shoes into checked luggage. Hear that hippy!!!?

My shoes never go in checked luggage.. because they're still sitting on the fscking driveway..

Andy: David Millar believes that Contador won the Giro clean this year. Now we could spend all day discussing Millar and, if we had time, his sister but let me just say this. Look at his hair: it is dark, it is thick, it has lustre.

Of course it wasn't when he was doping, he bleached, it as was common practise back then because bleached hair can't be used for testing hair for doping, see also Richard Virenque and Davide Rebellin sporting the same back then.....both also found to be dopers.

Which rider in this year's tour has recenly gone bottle blonde?

True, except bleached hair can be tested. So your comment is bollocks.

Next time in Oz I'm going to visit Mr Bont and get some custom jobbies made. Special features will include:

• Extra Fat carbon construction
  
• World Chump stripes
  
• Bottle opener
  
• Chain to lock them to my legs

Interesting. Looks more likely I am going to be right though.

I'm going for Ben Swifty Swift today. Anyone with that name deserves a stage.

Rotherham's finest.

Come on Swifty, COME ON!!!!

What's everyone got against the ITV4 commentary? I always prefer to watch ITV4 over Eurosport where possible.

The streets of Rotherham are packed with locals, screaming for a Swifty stage win.

Fingers crossed.

Was this the case back then?

From the comic 2009:

"Therefore hair can be used to test for longer-term use of banned substances. However, it's not a completely fool-proof method as bleaching hair can destroy the markers left in it by certain substances"

Although, of course, cycling wekly are not medical experts.

Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen are the Smashy and Nicey of race commentary.

yes go swifty..

read in the times today about how teams protect (or rather haven't protected) their GC riders.. in particular Contador, asking why has he been neglected? Hincapie does well for Bum-Face, Shleck has Cancellara, it appears Contrador has no-one.. sad reading :(

Fuck, Gadret's in my teams! Come on fatty!

Atleast you haven't got Wiggins and Popovych :(

Tyler 'pervglasses' Farrar has been popped out of the back.

Mental break!

Ha! Yellow and green in a breakaway for the line! :-o
