Seems fucking mental - def one for hippy and not an overweight bastard like me.

Looks good though if you can raise the £1,700!

I don't want to sound all big headed or anything, but that ride isn't that hard. Most of the climbs on it are straightforward.

I knew someone would do that. Might have guessed who'd be the one. :-)

I'm going to watch the first 4 stages with le wife. Looking forward to it a lot would be looking forward to it less if I was hill climbing.

That's nice of you BFA but I think we must be in the same boat, surely? :)
I'd love to do some of these French rides but raising £1700 is beyond me.
I can only get so far with threats of knee capping and poisoning family pets..

That's a piti.

@will - hohoho.

This makes you wonder what the Spanish Federation have been doing for the past 3 years. They've got access to the same information as CONI so surely could have called in the likes of Valverde and Contador and got checked their DNA against that found by Operacion Puerto. It makes me think that talk of a cover up by the Spanish authorities is not far off the mark.

The Spanish Federation have been juicing their riders and other nation's riders to the eyeballs.. what do you think they've been doing?
