FINALLY got round to finishing this. Not the greatest week (weather wise) to break it in, though pretty chuffed with how it turned out...

Is the Rabba (tm) with convertible sleeves?

Tastefully stickerbombing the components (rims/hubs/seatpost/bars) of a stupidly posh/iconic carbon frame is a really shit idea, (and not the beauty/beast commentary on the disconnection strands of wealth in society or funky urbanising a la Mike Giant Ram handlebars?)...

Isn't it?

Dunno, though I wanted to check out the new Rucksack, and am sure they've either sent me a returned (unfaulty) item or it's been sitting on a factory floor for weeks before packing - it was in a really shit condition.

Shame, I was interested in that. No option for 'notify when back in stock' so I guess they won't be restocking?

L'Eroica is in that part of the world - as well as the routes for the actual weekend (which will be somewhere), there's a permanent, signposted route.

They all pride themselves on being old and stoney (and strada bianchi-y), so not sure if that's much help?!

Love that final side on camera angle. Fuck all use to seeing who's actually gaining, but looks nice.

For the record, I'm quite with J here. I think it's as dull as a 3 stage race (with that route, with all main players intact) could reasonably be IMO.

There's been a few highlights - Early textbook echelon drama on day 2 (even if it killed perhaps the rest of it), G's riding, Cummings belting it past the remonstrating Frenchies, Cavs win when he needed it the most, Pinot's redemption from his earlier strop atop Huez...But Giro had better duelling, and the Classics (ok, a vintage year this year s0 maybe unfair) were all better days in front of the TV. The Ruta Del Sol was far more engrossing.

It's always a good few weeks affixed to the screen, though the shouting at screen moments have been very subdued relative to previous tours/races :)

What's Colombian for "Dude, this wheel sucking thing is really unhelpful right now..."

Porteato Head puts his 'grimace' lips on...

Oooh...If Qintana connects with Valverde it's game on!

tj :(

Gwan Cummings!

Fair play Porte....Brailsford acting as if he doesn't exist, but a proper shift has been put in there.

I, for one, can't wait until the sport is dominated by financial behemoths. Look at how cool my beloved soccer has become.

Must be such a great feeling - to think of all the pressure, and up against all the main players on a reasonably vanilla/pure sprint stage. Chapeau!

Get in Cav. Great turn!

Tony, for you ze tour is over :(

Talk on the ITV show of a bit of handbags when NIbali chucked his bidon at Froome at the end as he thought he was responsible for the crash.

IN P-R, I'm sure I've heard of the tradition that random spectators hold wheels up, with the tacit understanding if any of them are used the team will give them back one of the 'proper' ones from the sponsors. As the roads in P-R are difficult to get cars down, it would save the riders races to take one as it could be ages until a car could get there (if at all).
