Wiggo would've made it... (Naaaah)

This reminds me of last nights football.

But the Germans stayed up?

Don't worry, spiders always climb out of the drain.

Ffs, I'm watching on Wiziwig and it's about 2 minutes behind. Time to switch to eurosport player I think.

Urgh. That Salice ad music... And the Festina track. Awful.

How many teams are wishing they had AG2R kit? #shitshorts

Wow, Forum Liggett...

I'm going for 6 retirements due to injury, 3 collar bones, possibly 3-4 more tomorrow when they realise they need a hip-op. Geraint Thomas is going down today I'm afraid. More importantly, who's voting Sags, who's going Sparticus?

The finish line looks like Glasto.

Especially when he grabs a beer and cigar at the finish line. I vote Cross bikes and 42's. Hell, a 'dale 29er.

Because the money relies on the big names making it to Paris.

Does it matter? We're cycling fans, everyone's a doper.

Also had a little splash on that, I'd predetermined that it would be before stage 5, he took one look at the profile and the schl-ute was opened.

God bless Andy 'Fair-weather' Schleck.

I'd like to see G given the freedom to bomb on today, I could see it being good for him. Fuck Froome, G finished second last time there was a cobbled stage if memory serves me, let him go for it.

I've got money on G coming down today, the poor lad can't keep upright on his bike for an entire race.

Here's my 'smug git' post.

Ended up watching the start in Green Park, walked over to the course with 60k to go and met some lovely 'merican ladies at the 1k to go banner. Blown away by the speed of the lead out trains as they shot past.

Decided to try run over to the podium, no dice, packed full of people and got told off for climbing on some banners.

Found ourselves over by the team busses, just hoping to glimpse some bikes. Low and behold we get kettled in because the caravan is moving out. 'Oh wait, isn't that Degenkolb?' We'd ended up at the spot the riders transferred into some normal coaches to get to the airport so a stream of riders later and I'd taken my first photos of the day, on my phone, from 6 feet away.

Oh, and I shook Jensie's hand, which was awesome.

Tommy, my cranks are Stronglight and the chainring is from the silver on one crankset. I will, one day, grab some Omniums and end up with everything black.

Konners, I'm just a bit shorter than you, bought a large and run it slammed. You SHOULD be fine.

Some bits arrived in the post, built this;

Loving the raw finish.

I love how right I was on the bar tape. I was under the impression that each bar was supposed to be opposite though? So pink drops on one, cyan on the other, hence the opposite coloured plugs.

Irrespective of this, I am well jeal.

On the plus side, you can now post snarky or witty one liners on their facebook page.

^ Use a quill adapter and your current stem. Otherwise, buy 26 bars.

I agree with Loz, keep the Langster as dedicated and this for shorter cafe runs. Or sell it and buy a steel track bike.

^+1 Turbo R Death.

The trainer always feels like it's fucked up my position too. I try to stand for a minute every 15 minutes.

Length of time for this feeling will vary, but it's pretty much an inevitability. Invest in better kit/lights and kiss the trainer goodbye until January.

don't breathe in crabon dust bro, snort it.

ftfy.

I'm close to pushing the button on one of these. JB what are you using to create routes with sat nav style navigation? I really want to use this as back up (read: I will got lost at every turn possible) on Audax rides.

And me... I would relish the opportunity to visit your reprobates more if I knew I could have 60 miles of traffic free path to TT along. Might just make it home after SE's in time for work the next day.

Fuck the actual trains though.

Functional - discuss.
