It’s ok – they passed a “rigorous risk assessment”.

🙂

lol thought it was gonna end with someone giving him a kicking.

Some people are just to important for the normal rules you know . . .

LOL @ “I’ll give you my sternest look” picture.

my point wasn’t his intelligence (or lack of it) btw, but rather his reluctance to actually say something with conviction.

Astute enough to get the Mayors job I suppose . . . . someone must have voted for him 😮

What does the Daily Mail say? That’s what counts . . . 🙂

We’re paying nearly R20 (£1.70) for a pint of draught Amstel now in SA

this is NOT a dilemma . . . .

just do it.

Saw them at Castle Donington in ’88 – me and 107 000 other people!

Excellent concert, although 2 people were killed that year IIRC.

Oi! take the fight OUTSIDE . . . .

hahahahahah NO!

🙂

First clean tour in years?

they are talking about AC on the podium now?

Joking aside, I was gutted for CE when he crashed and effectivly lost any chance of getting anywhere in the tour the other year. Good effort from him this year.

Come on ANDY!!!!!!!!

Now I feel sorry for AS . . . . .

1 second

Cadel Crashes!!!!!!!!!!!

no not really

9 secs to go – then CE is in yellow

Phil & Paul are “shocked” . . . .

not much change out of 10 then.

(edit – as mentioned above!)

love AC’s bike . . . . 6 Grand?

We won’t actually know how well CE is doing (other than seeing him ride a blistering ride perhaps), we’ll have to wait until FS & AS set off and then see if they lose time to him. . . . .

that’s gotta hurt 🙁

Its been a fantastic tour – and the last few riders today should be thrilling!

The supporters certainly take it seriously 🙂

I have to agree with logic1980 tho – the ones running along holding a mobil phone to their ears talking to (their fammily??) someone saying “I’M ON TV! I’M ON TV! CAN YOU SEE ME?” are complete dicks. Nothing to do with supporting a rider and everything to do with being a winker. (insert appropriate vowel)

TV wants his bottle back now! make up your mind . . .

This is gonna be one hell of a descent!!!

Sammy tring to cross to AC & AS

Singletrackworld trumps BikeRadar 😉

TV looking across the valley at the leaders – not ready to give up yet.

How is TV gonna make it up d’Huez?

bigdawg – you asked that question on both forums ! lol

Evans is checking out sheep in the field . . .

With that much torque going thro the drive train, maybe the wheel got pulled sideways against the stay?

its often difficult to see the angle of the climb because the camera bikes are at the same angle as the riders, but every so often you get a shot that shows the climb properly – f*ck they can go uphill fast!!

TV has “previous national champion” stripes around the bottom of his shorts 🙂

he got most aggresive rider award yesterday

Assuming they are in first gera – what ratio are they probably pedaling?
