Stupid question - How strict is the no racing for GC riders on final stage? i.e. If anything bad happens to Brad (a la tack affaire) would the either leaders wait or would it be open season for a last minute steal??
well, it's not an official rule, but I can't imagine a situation in which firstly he'd lose that large an amount of time ( 6 mins back to Nibali) AND Liquigas/ the rest of the peleton would be so unsportsmanlike as to try to capitalise without being shut down by the majority.
The fucking cheating Itie bastards.

Hi all,
I have a pretty good condition SRAM red chainring, 50T 110BCD. £30 posted or offers.it's only been ridden this season, since the spring. Graphics still there, no big scratches or anything, except there is one tooth that is damaged - see pics :
I didn't notice this until i took the ring off to sell it, so it wasn't affecting the way the bike rode.
If you are handy with a vice and a file, you may sort it out very easily.PMs please.

I'm really happy for Cadel, the best man won. ( although clearly if Contador hadn't ridden and won the giro, he'd have taken it.)
I used to like Andy Schleck, but this tour the pair of them really got on my tits. Pair of pansies, hiding behind each other to try to win - well, it didn't work, did it. Grow up, and then you might stand a chance against the men.
really curius to know how wiggins would have done in the end. I think IF he'd stayed with them in the mountains, then he'd have been second, potentially - but i do think Cadel is now a stronger climber than Wigg.

how can people be viewing a thread about 'Bob' 'Dylan' when they could be participating in Pistantators House Music thread? the mind boggles.
But, since it's here, I'm going to vote for 'Simple twist of fate' as best Dylan track ever.
in fact, here's a quick top ten, i'll have you understand :
- Simple twist of fate
2.Hurricane - Spirit on the water
- it's alright ma, i'm only bleeding
5.visions of johanna
6.most of the time
7.you're a big girl now
8.bob dylans 115th dream
9.one more cup of coffee
10.it's all over now, baby blue
- Simple twist of fate

I would find it really odd and quite bad form if a champion in any sport was not given the opportunity to defend a title. it seems disrespectful to the race itself, and i just think it will be really confusing for the world at large if Wiggins isn't riding for himself. it won't help to de-mystify pro-cycling in the UK, for example.
Froome really should fuck off to another team, i think. can't he see that they're just telling him what he wants to hear? Personally i don't think he has what it takes to win yet, anyway, and surely Brailsford feels the same. He lacks maturity, and Contador would always outfox and outride him. The Wiggins train i think could work quite well against Contador - as they have said, he can't jump off the front of Sky doing 450w and hope to sustain it, and Wiggins should be able to put decent time into Bertie in the time trials. Froome, on the other hand, will be very evenly matched to Contador in a time trial, and so will ultimately come off second best overall, IMO.
Yes, it's me.
