Tour de France 2010

What? Yawn?
"Can't be arsed"?

Sorry about that...

Because Platini will do it sooner or later:

Nimhbus, you dropped this: '

It's a gift for the fans. You should see the spelling in the publicity caravan!

Because size matters.

Live signal matters the most - I'm enjoying the start of today's stage!
French opportunists and beautiful landscapes ;-)

Today's stage is interesting, on paper it looks like a typical hilly transitional stage. But the Col de Laffrey after 70 kms is a tough climb, 7kms averaging 9%, that could see a GC contender look to make a move to regain time.

Lambre teaming up for the sprint - Hunter down

Contador n Schleck have used the blood
.

Petacchi 6p, Thor 4p

Poor Evans.. was there actually any footage of his crash. They managed to keep it very quiet.

Bit annoyed now it's Schleck vs. Cont. Zzzz.. Pistolero seems to be firing blanks this year.. where's his famous dancing attacks?

His mojo has been missing since he met this lass;

Tony Martin's in the break.

Robbie McEwan also got some sprint points. Did Cav have a go, or has he given up on the green?

Martin's group were caught.

Reading text updates. Says Petacchi was brought up by three Lampre riders for the sprint points. He's 8 points back and I they're clearly thinking the green jersey is a prize they can take. I'm a Thor fan (partially by default - a.b.c.), but Petacchi has been awesome. Could be good fun to watch. Sprints for second may become as exciting as sprints for first if Cav is on form.

Some stunning images showing right now.

That's the only thing worth watching on today's stage so far.

Shows just how majestic the scenery is though andy...
Reminds me of Essex ; )

Missed highlights of yesrerdays stage. Anywhere on the net i can see them?

Are you kidding me? Google?
Tour highlights are the slut of the sporting highlight world. They just don't care.

cycling, one of few sports you feel good about napping in front of.

That descent down the Col du Noyer looks like a hell of a lot of fun, scary, but fun.

Eurgh wish that could have been blurred out.

Oh, i meant like 1 hrs worth. Can't search web properly as at work & no internet.

I've been forced to watch highlights only, but thats not bad. It's like test match cricket really, best watched as highlights! I wonder if they'll do a 20:20 version of the Tour de France... all the best bits squished into a week.... on a fixie!

I did this on Saturday, nodded off, and MOC turned the bloody TV over to discovery just at the flamme rouge! needless to say it got turned back.

You mean like a Classic race?

Sorry about that...

You must be a first class cunt. I will bow to you as I have to try to be like you ... you pull it off naturally ...

I was actually kinda hinting I was totally gutted about Cadel having such bad luck again ... and after the watching the Giro this is going to be very expected ... I might even try watching F1 for excitement.

probably nothing to see until the last 10k today. really hoping Renshaw/Cav can pull off another win. failing that would love to see McEwan get amongst it.
