At some point soon Thomas is going to be looking for a team leader role in a grand tour. He might get a shot at the Giro next year, but that's always going to be a secondary target for Sky, so he won't get the support that Froome enjoys at the TdF.

I presume that's why Porte wants out.

Sean Kelly is probably a closer match, but he'd got more classics victories under his belt by the time he was 29. And higher Grand Tour placings.

Merckx?

Thanks for the time gap lesson! It all makes sense now.

Oh. I was expecting him to gain time after he summited.

Time gaps to Majka have got to be off, right? He didn't appear to gain any time after going over the top.

Amazing stage today. Don't know why TCG insist on backing Hesjedal.

I'm in for sure. Hefty, we could always skip the train and cycle to London...

Anyone have a rear mtb v brake they want to part with? A right brake lever is also needed. condition not important so long as they work.

Cheers.

Does anyone have a 130 bcd chainring, 48-50t, 3/32. In reasonable condition and preferably black?

Cheers

On a lighter note; there were some beautiful vignettes in the coverage today. Very arty :-)

Also, I'd never realised how much Kiserlovski looks like Anton du Beke.

Okay, I've created a league on Velogames.

The code is 10190856

Anyone taking part in the Velogames fantasy giro?

Could start a LFGSS league if there are enough of us.

I'm a tentative in. I need to be back (in Cambridge) for 6ish, so should be okay.

I think Jimmy Corkhill knows it.

That's going back a bit!

any more hubsets? a 7700 rear would be ideal, but 7800 would work too.

Soz

Only messing. It was the warmest my feet got all day!

Nice to see all the photos, cheers for sticking them up. Although one of them does catch me thinking about reaching for my mini pump so that I can batter Hefty for spilling tea on my shoe :-p

Good ride today. Thanks everyone. Well proud of my borrowers knuckle-duster!

I'll be coming down from Cambridge in the morning too, so I guess I'll see Hefty, Tias, and Separ ation at the station too. I'll be on a red steel jobby with chrome mudguards, geared.

There the ones. Keep 'em on ice for me.

I went out for a ride today and lost my legs after two hours. Think I've got some work to do!

You've nailed the badger's house.

the opposite of low is...

This is a decent route map:

Someone should probably organise some sort of l'Etape du Tour on this route.
