An empty Alpine road. A top end carbon road bike. Sunshine, blue skies, no wind.

I can do without the crowds of people everywhere yelling and running alongside.

RRP over here was a staggering 7k

I assume you mean in Sweden? RRP on that one here was £4500, the 2009 one is £5000 and the 2010 one is £5800. Still a nice bike though.

I didn't use the Bontrager tyres, I had some Michelin Pro 3s and some Hutchinsons on, they were as bad as each other.

Hmm. A huge sausage AND a ripped box between their legs. Nice!

(mr MC posting)

watching TdeF on ITV4 makes me want....? hmmmm

A bottle of Just for Men as it will bag me a desperate middle-aged bird who will sleep with me on the first date cos she thinks I might be a bit younger than her.

A russian meerkat in a dressing gown.

A bike from halfords, as it'll be the wrong size, have badly set up suspension and lock the back brake on corners.

Some margerine so that some nasty old woman will come to my house and tell me my cholesterol is 4.3. Whatever TF that means.

A water park commute home. In my pants.

Haha! Excellent. Well done. What about the new Panasonic HD digital camera so you can catch your 5 year old doing trials riding, and a bowl of Bran Flakes?

all you pitboss lovers (i've only just googled them, could someone please explain why they're £500?!) will be jealous:

BBC Sport's Phil Sheehan on Twitter: "Armstrong looks like he just tossed his Oakleys to the side of the road. What a souvenir that will be for whoever finds them!"

The ability to sit on someone's wheel and then go Bam, see ya later punk!

In addition to what I wanted earlier I'd also like to add:
the TT and downhilling ability of Cancellara.
the climbing ability of Contador
the sheer grit and mental determination of Armstrong
the sprint of Cavendish
and finally the bike handling skills of Robbie McEwen

not that I'm being demanding at all...

So you can do this after a 120 miles riding on terrain which doesn't suit you:

To be sponsored by Oakley

Oh for all you Pit Boss lovers (I don't like them, too big for me - Which stopped me getting them) Wait for the next addition to the Elite line - Woooah!

Houns is that you trying to boast that you can afford £500 sunglasses on a whim? It comes across that way!

Car free roads. I crave their fitness but pity their weight obsession.

£5000 or something aren't they!? Slightly mental to say the least.

I don't think they suit anyone anyway, they're too big!

njee20, they're £500. I tried on a pair the other day and they were lovely, but even I can't really justify £500 on a pair of sunnies!

The girl on the right on the white jersey presentation. Smouldering looks.

And one of those S-Works TT bikes.

And not in that order either.

Makes me want to buy a campervan and follow the tour around. Might be more to do with not having to go to work rather than anything else though, Just quite envious of all the campers parked up en route with nothing better to do than chill out and watch the race go past.

Meet Emanuelle (left), and Laura (right). Their job is to present the “most combative” award, an honor that goes to the most aggressive rider of the day.

Laura is 23, and Emanuelle is 24. And you’ll love this… Emanuelle is studying to be a contortionist. No kidding.

Yes sorry, I meant the new ones are about £5000, but I don't think the Pit Bosses suit anyone. I just used 'they' to refer to both!
