Rule 16

matching everything?

What a dull joke, looks like a stag do on their way to Butlins

I think they're trying far to hard to be the 'jokers' of the peloton. They've got nothing on Cipollini.

Surely unless there's a helmet under there that's against UCI rules.....

She's Welsh isn't she?

Born in Wales, raised in Seth Efrica, lives in Monaco. That makes her more of a climber than her fiancé.

repped.
For the record, it's not sexist - she's an annoying gobshite.

Has a route been published yet? Any idea which way past the robin hood the race will be going, the hill from there into hebden is steep and relentless.

Here's a map http://letour.yorkshire.com/images/letour/Route2Larger.jpg

The Robin Hood I'm on about is on the road South out of Mytholmroyd to where it joins the A58. It is the longest unbroken climb in England, it is neither steep or relentless. Though in poor weather the upper reaches are grim as it's exposed moorland.

I think you're talking about a different boozer....

How long?

8.6km

@ww I am slightly serious about wiggo and BMC. I probably don't know enough to know why that is ludicrous.

What would he go to BMC to do? To ride the tour? I doubt he wants to and he doesn't seem so motivated by money. Also, going to another team and losing to Sky would be hard to handle. Tejay had a bad tour this year but it would be daft to write him off. I can't see where a third (if we include Evans) grand tour rider would fit in.
If Wiggins wants a go at Paris Roubaix he would be better off at Sky - they would have little to lose by backing him since their existing classics riders are still learning the trade.
Plus, BMC has just been a graveyard of a team. John Lelangue has just left, for 'personal reasons', probably meaning that he took it personally when the owner asked him how he managed to piss away tens of millions of Euros on star riders who can't win any more.

I think Oss was the funny one in the set-up last year. Now we are seeing the dumb shit that rattles unfettered round in Peto's head all day.

^ ha!

Brailsford was very amused with The Chiseled Teuton™ winning last night, a party crasher tells me. Shouting to the Argos team managers: "Good job! Cav's dead, go Kittel!"

Surprisingly there is another robin hood inn:

From the route it looks like they will be decending down into hebden from there, it seemed bloody steep when I drove up it the other day.

aw shit, I may have to actually go back to York.
