    Team sky keeping everyone guessing and on the back foot,come the start the other teams will have Wiggo,Frome and Porte to try and stay in touch with,Brad will lead out till the mountains taking pressure off Frome and if he hasn’t gone down on the cobbles Frome to take over in the mountain with Porte and to a lesser part Brad supporting after that anyone’s guess depends on where they are time wise could come down to a two horse race to the end.

    had this for a company i use to work for had all our spare parts sent by tnt or dhl when it was signed for we use to get an email back at the depot saying so,was not unheard of to go to site to fit said parts to find they weren’t there yet!!! driver behind on time signs electronic palm unit as soon as he left depot so quite often would turn up at site about 2hrs after we had left.

    I would say yes but and it’s a BIG but where do you ride and what style of riding if it’s mainly trail/Xc then it’s a BIG yes if it’s swinging towards freeride/enduro then it’s a BIG fat maybe!! For me when I was in the market for a new bike I wasn’t looking at 29ers but wasn’t not looking either then I test rode a Trek fuel ex 29er on my local trails ended up the bike for me and 9months on still chuffed with what I got :D

    Not an early ride but a night ride had five armed bushes stand up in front of me on a trail turned out to be members of the para’s on an exercise had a VERY surreal conversation about bikes with them then went back the other way as they told me they were laying an ambush and “it might get a bit loud round here soon” :D

    P.s ride in an army training ground in case you hadn’t guessed
