^Oh, that was it. I got really puzzled about the massive sense of déjà vu.

Someone attacked my Granit earlier this year. Apart from the rubber, the lock is intact. Sadly, the idiot managed to scratch my frame in the process.

What problem do they solve?

The problem of underinflated tyres.

It was going so well until the athletes turned up...

@Cornelius I think the fact that Wiggins/Sky are winning means people are complaining, because they are not widely liked outside of Britain.

I think it's more likely that you Brits are just paying more attention to it this time: the amount of complaining seems pretty average from a neutral point of view.

I personally think it's been very exciting. Ideally, I'd like to have seen Contador in this Tour because he is the only rider who I reckon could have challenged Sky's dominance, even without clenbuterol.

This Froome affair, together the brilliant article on the Guardian, has suddenly turned me into a Wiggins fan. Didn't expect that! I'm already looking forward to seeing Froome show his amazing skillz against Contador, preferably with Michelle Cound commentary :)

Glad he did quite well today, doing quite well often wins you grand tours

...as witnessed by 2010 Vuelta.

wonder if Nibali is impressed yet

He was talking about Wiggins' climbing.

Besides, I think Nibali did quite well today given that he is by no means a time trial specialist. Oh, and of course he hasn't read Team Sky's revolutionary bike training guide yet.

It's easy to momentarily pull away from Nibali as he just isn't an explosive rider. On the longer climbs he will be much harder to beat.

Nibali did reasonably well too, finishing one second behind Evans. I really hope this is his year.

At that point he must have known we already had his number. The witness sat in her car writing down what he was shouting. I think his original intention was to throw the witness with the plate (he first raised plate as if to throw it at her). He then changed his mind and threw the plate inside his own car. He also said the car he was driving wasn't registered in his name. While he sped away he continued to threaten the witness, saying he will track her down using her register number.

Yes, she has already done that. We obviously exchanged our contact details. I reported the incident through RoadSafe but I now realize I also need to contact the police by phone. To be honest, the whole affair has left me quite shocked.

I had someone swerving towards me and threatening to drive over me today. His reason was that I rode in the primary position, appeared foreign and, last but not least, didn't pay the road tax. I suggested he would have a look at the Highway Code; his answer was that he doesn't know what the Highway Code is. There was a witness who intervened as the driver continued to shout his threats. The driver then proceeded to rip off his own number plate (???), threatening to burn the house of the witness when she and her kids are sleeping. And so on and so forth.

Needless to say, I am going to report this to the police.

Nibali is one of my favourite riders to watch because he attacks on descents. Makes things much more interesting. It's a shame he lacks the explosiveness on climbs.

I just looked for how to say 'hipster' in Finnish and was hoping for it to be something like 'hiipster' at least, but no, it's ... 'hipster'. :(

In fact it's 'hipsteri', so you were quite near there.

I like the hi-pro.

The lo-pro is terrible, but that's merely because all lo-pros are.

im guna reload this thread all night

I like the colours of those regimental straps. Make me feel creative.

Andy's results this season suggest that he's massively self-confident. Contador, on the other hand, will fade away.

Just sayin'.

Different products have different prices. That's how free market works.

This thread has ruined my faith in the British education system.

...and I'm a postgrad in philosophy.
