Tour de France 2012

Of course I'm biased, much as the Aussies can't stand seeing Tubbs destroyed by a British team, my job security largely depends on the success of GB riders this year.

Good showing by Team Murdoch, Australia's second coolest TdF team of Belgian, Kenyan, Australian, Austrian, Manx, Norwegian and Russian riders. Did I miss any, Rob?

another great blog from Mr Robert Millar, he really does hit the nail on the head. Then again he"s been there & done it. I wish he was part of the ITV4 team.

best quote for me:

"All day Tommy would be talking to you, an evolving mix of encouragement, heckling, shouting and moaning, Jens would be riding like only he can, probably spurred on by a never ending version of Sandstorm by Darude being played down to him through his own channel on the team radio. Luis Leon Sanchez would be figuring out when he was going to catch you eating or drinking and if none of that cracks you before the finish then Sagan would monster the sprint. Therapy would be needed."

These guys make footballers look like right tarts.

bunch sprint then? Any news of cav and his swollen legs?

Orica-GE definitely aren't 'cool'. Bad yes, cool no

Sean Yates told Reuters he was 'fine' yesterday.

Been off thread. You seen the footage of Gilbert giving the dog owner what for? Brilliant. It is the only time he has attacked all tour.

Edit - been covered at post 3544 I see. Also beat me to the Gilbert joke, you git.

Langeveld has spent more time hanging out of the back of the peloton than insert bodieandoyle punchline here.

"A TECHNICAL PROBLEM MEANS THE LIVE VIDEO IS NOT CURRENTLY BROADCASTING."

Oh, fuck you, ITV. Sort it out.

Gilbert getting pissy;

Austrians are a couple of letters short of being antipodean.

Anyway, hippy, we think of you as English and Murdoch as American.
